vibe-coding
There's a Reddit thread that pops up every few weeks. Someone posts "you can't really rely on AI coding unless you already have a software background." Then someone else replies with a screenshot of their app and says "I made $200 in 8 hours, no coding background."
AI
A recruiter I know told me last month that AI was "not for this industry."

A resume is a list of places you've been. Not proof of what you can do.
AI
Enterprise CMS vendors are falling behind on AI tooling. A community developer built a better Sitefinity MCP server than the vendor did. Here's what that tells us about the future of enterprise development.
Expensio
Another month, another round of Expensio changes. This one was mostly about making the app feel faster and less annoying to use on a daily basis.
Laravel
Stop over-engineering AI features. The Laravel AI SDK lets you add content generation, sentiment analysis, image alt-text, auto-tagging, and a RAG chatbot to any app in one weekend.

Every day I direct AI agents. But this week I discovered a platform where AI agents hire humans. The roles are reversed.
Matt Shumer warns AI disruption is coming. I'm writing to confirm: it's not coming — it's here. And I've been living it for over a year.
A few updates on Dotmap since the last post.
Browser automation with AI agents sounds magical until you see the bill. Every screenshot, every DOM snapshot, every page navigation — it all gets stuffed into the context window. Your tokens evaporate faster than you can say "take a screenshot."
How a side project grew from "map with dots" to a full professional discovery platform.
Last week I built Vocaboo — a vocabulary quiz app for my daughter. Six hours of vibe coding. Problem solved. Ship it.
Taylor Otwell just dropped something big: an official, first-party AI SDK for Laravel.
Last week, my daughter came home with a vocabulary list. Fifty English words. Test on Friday.
Some tools exist because someone got frustrated enough to build them.
