Neglected a small Laravel app for a while and decided to upgrade it and move it to a new server on forge. Took a few minutes and all was up and running again.
The Laravel VPS on Forge are impressive tbh.

Back at work after a three-week break. Did I miss anything besides the lifted token limits for Claude?

I love how Claude Code pats itself on the shoulder from one agent to another for the excellent research a lot lately. Everybody needs some pampering 😍.

Last month I deployed a Filament + Livewire app that was written by Claude Code. I wrote less than 300 lines.
The client had a limited budget, but it worked. I ended up adding some nice-to-have features.
Would you read a blog post about it?

Uff, after upgrading to macOS and iOS 26, my Logitech MX Keys S keyboard doesn't connect to either device. Neither Bluetooth nor the Logi Bolt works.
Of course I no longer have the receipt, and the Logi support bot is useless. Is this a known issue, or did my keyboard break?

First day at work after 20 days of vacation with my wife. I feel so refreshed.
Before, I was using Claude Code a lot. Is it still good, or should I give Codex a try? I downgraded right before the vacation, so I'm open to giving Codex a try.

A few weeks ago, I had my Aaron Francis moment. Someone contacted me to mentor them with a Filament project, all because of my Youtube videos and blog posts. That felt wonderful.

Today marks what would have been my grandfather's 100th birthday. He passed over a decade ago, but I still cherish our conversations. He was a fascinating man, and many buildings he designed still stand in and around Lucerne. I have to visit the city archives someday.

Working on a Laravel Cloud-style navigation for a Filament v4 project, and it's coming along nicely. 🤗
If you're interested in a tutorial, the code, or both, let me know!

I wonder how complex it would be to build a Filament v4 navigation in the style of Laravel Cloud. Anyone tried this already?

Filament V4 Tip: Multitenants and Nested Resources
When your nested resource model uses a hasOneThrough relationship to your tenant model, you might want to disable the tenancy for the nested resource (of course check that your authorization works).

Now that Laravel Boost is out, I need to rethink my own Claude Code hooks, agents and commands.
Combining them in a project worked quite well, but I need to remove some MCPs that do the same as boost.

Gave Warp with GPT5 a try this morning to compare it to Claude Code, it's not bad but it does overengineer stuff in my experiments, even when told not to do so.

I really wanted to like Apple Reminders and used it for a year as my personal task list. However, the UI on macOS led me back to Things 3.
The keyboard shortcuts are fantastic, it integrates well with Apple Shortcuts and finally Siri is good enough to understand my accent 😅

Played around with Google Gemini CLI in a larger Laravel app, but it didn't give me the same quality of results as using Claude Code.
What is your experience? Especially interested in Livewire and Filament apps.

Just published some new Livewire projects on Wire in the Wild. In time for Laracon and the next Livewire release. It's great to see Swiss institutions adopting Livewire 😍
