the new hot topics is cool but now reaching to your own profile is at least two clicks away - this use to be a one click away, is this on purpose or we can PR a fix ? @dev-null-sh

Clicking Profile in the left navigation bar still takes you straight there in one click even with the right sidebar card replaced by Hot Topics.

This is on purpose because it got quite crowded in the sidebar. Profile can still be reached in one click through the left sidebar :)

this is the exact piece I keep thinking about for an n8n alternative in laravel 🔥 durable-workflow/workflow already handles the wait and resume part, is anyone building the graph layer ?

AI applications are becoming more than a prompt and a response. The interesting applications increasingly need to make decisions, use tools, evaluate their own work, branch into different paths, wait for people, recover from failure, and continue where they left off. Laravel…

matt asked from a plane, nuno said "give me 3 minutes" and the hashtags commit landed 8 minutes later 😅 the most accurate estimate in software history #LaraconAU
QuotingMSMatt Stauffer@mattstauffer
@tom So if everyone at Laracon Au wants to post to a centralized space… do we have groups, or hashtags, or anything? Or is that just not part of the dev/null ethos? Or have people considered it and we just don’t have it live rn? I’m on a plane and the internet is garbage so I…

local development isn't dead, it just moved to someone else's localhost 😅 to be honest I am still not sure about this, why rent a vps to run my claude code from there? what do you guys think about it ?

The only time a remote dev box beats local for me is when I am on a slow connection and need to pull massive Docker images or run heavy test suites in parallel. Otherwise nothing beats zero-latency local files.

I love the promise of this but it doesn't work for mobile development There's still major limitations on what you can do without a physical device in your hand connected to the dev environment

semver was never for the person releasing, it's for the person running composer update on a friday 😅 do you guys pin exact versions now ?
QuotingSRSamuel Reichör@samuelreichor
Semver needs to die. Especially for young software and with AI this doesn't make sense anymore. I can't even remember when I released my latest patch release.

Honestly, I love semver as a maintainer and a user. It is such a simple, but well thought out standard and gives me more peace of mind. We try not to, but have had to pin a few packages @tempestphp for stability.
