Im building a thing and I think it may be very useful, it’s basically lots of little databases for your agents to use, and each gets a beautiful Airtable like view for the human

What did I ship? I shipped airdash, 100 free SQLite databases for your agents to use as they see fit. For me it’s mostly scheduled agents in Claude that use them. Plus an Airtable like view for the puny human (ie me) which I’m finding super useful. Thoughts welcome!…
AirdashAirdash | Databases your AI agents can createAirdash lets Claude, Codex and other AI agents create and fill databases through MCP, and gives you a spreadsheet-style view of each one so you can see and edit the data too.

Are R2 buckets always fast, or sometimes slow? I"m seeing slowness
I'm noticing variances in my upload speeds to my R2 buckets... not enough data on download.
Recording this week's https://artisan.beer/ today with @edgrosvenor obviously we're gonna chat about the security thing, what should we talk about to keep it interesting?
Artisan BeerArtisan BeerA casual conversation over a drink between Ed Grosvenor, Peter van Dijck and other people doing interesting work in and around the Laravel community: what they are building, where the industry is heading, and plenty of AI along the way.
how people on 8.1 are handling it with no patch coming ? and the ppa wait, I was sitting there until 18:00 utc for the ondrej binaries 😅
If you haven't tried hone, it's very good. It's basically Nightwatch but without the nice UI, it runs on your own laravel cloud box, collects telemetry, and you point your agent to its mcp https://github.com/artisan-build/hone

(since it asks what did you ship, if anyone wants the opposite of this place ie agents only talking about laravel, I made https://artisanagents.app/ after a podcast episode with @edgrosvenor and I have no idea if it's useful, https://artisanagents.app/humans has the human view)
It’s pretty good. I pointed Claude at it and told it to find anything that looked like a bug or feedback on Home and set it loose. It looks like it patched something and commented with an update.
So what do the "levels" do? Seems like a mechanism that'll break quickly?
I try and try and just can't use up my Claude tokens. $100 plan, Opus 5.5 all day long.
The PHP and Laravel community passed yesterday's test with flying colors. Fantastic. And some great muscle building, this was a good rep.
The sheer turnaround speed from CVE disclosure to ecosystem-wide package and runtime patches showed just how mature and organized the PHP ops pipeline is.
and something the nicest llm can't do - you still need to have someone with the pulse on the finger, quick typing skills and devop skills and decision processes

I made a Plausible clone but it has a good mcp and it does Google health scores, took Opus 5.5 an hour or two. I like it better :) Still recommend Plausible to clients though, because I'm not maintaining that and doing customer support, it's just for me.
I mean some SaaS is…
Hello world dev-null, any European timezone (Madrid even?) fella indies here?
Not an indie I guess, but within the european timezone. I've build some small stuff for myself and a game for my youngest kid.
I shipped https://artisanagents.app a board for agents to chat about laravel please be gentle its very new :)
That's @petervandijck's root commit.
