“This is the Epstein Administration.”
Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

This week on MT, @ianlandsman.com & @aaronfrancis.com are diving into the future of Laravel & PHP vs. Javascript and/or Python, especially in the era of AI coding 👀

Guess what? They're still pretty bullish on Laravel.

14M requests. 50,000 sites. 1 engineer.

@ghost.org chose Laravel Cloud to run their new site directory, Ghost Explore, with zero infra management.

See how Ghost's founder @johnonolan.bsky.social runs a production app without a big ops team:
