Oh my god. The best possible outcome. @johnbon.dev get the shirt AND I don't have to pay for it.

I would be offended if you didn’t!

I’m so excited for Forte! I think that Blade has so much more to give, but it needs to be a proper language first. This is one huge step towards that.

What if instead of opening a pizza shop we just walked around eating pizza from other shops in those tees?

Forte A complete ecosystem for parsing, analyzing, and transforming Laravel Blade templates. Includes AST querying, code rewriting, formatting, and developer tools.

I am happy to announce that Forte v1 is now available! Forte is my new library for parsing and modifying #laravel Blade.

This man has good taste and great ideas.

And before you bring it up to try to put my character into question…

Yes, I think cheese steaks are overrated and I'll say that in public.

This is the fundamental problem with food in NYC. Sheer number of people means that there is inevitably great food. Signal-to-noise means that it's much much much harder to find.

I mean, NYC has great slices on like every corner of course.

But I have no idea where to get a truly exceptional pizza in New York.

Yeah, take the train down to Philly and get some good pizza. 😂

Hm. At $45 I would have asked Daniel for your address and sent it to you for sure. At $75 I would have had a long hard think about it. So I think you've accurately established the range.

I’m tempted to set an alert for when the counter hits 987,654,321…

Slice T-Shirt - COOL HUNTING® We love well-made t-shirts and we love pizza even more, so it’s not surprising that we really love Leret’s crew neck Slice T-Shirt. It’s 100% lightweight cotton, made in Portugal,…

@johnbon.dev I saw this and was going to order it for you and then I saw it was a $145 tee shirt so instead I’m just gonna send you a link 😂

Yeah, it feels like a neat idea that might be too hard to get right. I might iterate on it a few more times as a curiosity, but I think I’m gonna abandon it for the actually feature.

I'm experimenting with an "you're at this point of the page" highlight that shows all sections proportionally to how much of the page they take up. What do we think?

(I'm not convinced, but it's an interesting approach.)

I'd like to believe that the number of custom relations have skyrocketed since my Laracon talk 😂

I'm still an iTerm2 believer. It's just rock solid and boring in the best way possible.

I also love the shell integration on remote servers. Sometimes I need to grab a log file or something and `it2dl` is super useful in that case.

Lesser Known Laravel Discover hidden methods, unknown classes, and underused patterns buried deep within the Laravel framework. A curated glossary of lesser-known Laravel features.

Ooh, @ryangjchandler.co.uk just made lesserknownlaravel.com which looks very cool.

Multiple templates is great—I'm still using Chronicle for hand-off documents, but I'm also using it to generate planning prompts for Claude. It's nice to just pick the template from a drop down.

Just sent a new version of Chronicle to the JetBrains Marketplace. A few new features:

- Automatic PII anonymization
- Smaller document output (less likely to hit context window)
- Support for multiple templates

Huge feature of LLMs: they're great at writing linters.

And with a large enough codebase, it's pretty easy to test if a linter works (just lint your codebase).

We have some (admittedly odd) conventions at InterNACHI that Claude used to get wrong often. Now `yarn lint` automatically corrects that.

Inertia 3 beta is here! 🚀

This is a big one. New Vite plugin, optimistic updates, standalone HTTP requests, layout props, simplified SSR, and Axios has been replaced with a built-in XHR client.

Here's what's new 🧵

Super excited to finally have this in people's hands, let us know what you think!

Can you imagine what $10M in pennies would look like?

984,377,004

At the current rate, I’ll finally hit 1B downloads right around the beginning of April.

Thinking about doing *something* to celebrate, but I don’t know what…

Any thoughts?

I think the neo looks awesome. It just sucks that the only fun looking macs are the cheap ones!

How many people who would happily pay $1099 for a MacBook Air are now going to pay $599 for a MacBook Neo because of colors, and then be annoyed when the run out of disk space?

Claude Code remote setup for Laravel - Chris Morrell

I set up an automated provisioning script for remote Claude Code sessions. Thought I'd share it in case anyone else finds it useful:

I dunno. I can’t think of a moment in my lifetime where applications didn’t break…
