I'd like to make 2 changes to the software industry.
1. The removal of AI. Let’s just pretend it never happened, so we can try again in 50 years with a more ethical and sustainable approach.
2. Find a way to include the use of lasers in software development. Where would we use them? How would they be implemented? I have no idea. These are questions without answers. I just know I want lasers, because lasers are cool 
One of the greatest joys in computer programming is discovering a new, faster, more efficient algorithm for doing something — particularly if a lot of well-respected people have come up with worse solutions.

After #TaylorOtwell suggested it, I'm releasing my super-charged #Laravel Seeder.
Seed steps wrapped into transactions Continue incomplete seeding Push arguments to each seed step Retrocompatible with the old `run()`
... and a lot of more features.

Dear developers, `AsCollection::of()` has landed successfully.

We all aim to make our programs faster, but have you ever tried doing the opposite? In this article, @carlk demonstrated how a simple nested loop can create a program that runs longer than the universe's lifetime. He dove into concepts like tetration (yes, it goes beyond exponentiation), 5-State Turing Machines

3 ways that great software engineers demonstrate empathy…
They empathise with the problems and frustrations felt by their users, making them more likely to be able to solve their user's problems appropriately.
They empathise with the stress their product owner is under to deliver their project and recommend the most appropriate technical solutions based on the circumstances.
Many developers struggle to get started with meditation…
Give the reps and sets method a try…
The "Reps and Sets" method appeals to me because I’ve spent most of my life doing reps and sets…
I’ve done reps and sets while; Golf training Squash training Running training Swimming training And most notably, resistance training in the gym
#Laravel should include soon a great PR that will help a lot of devs mapping collection items manually.
It's a simple `AsCollection::map(Item::class)` and `AsCollection::map([Item::class, 'fromArray])` cast.
It creates Collections and maps into a class instance, or a callable. No need to make your own anymore.
Confident it will land on Laravel 12.10 anytime this week.
"I have taste and you don't" is a great way to never get anybody to agree with you. So is "your solution is not the way I would have done it."
The only way to get off doing 12-hour shifts at the feature factory is to defy its logic.
"I don't feel like I'm ready yet...", "I don't feel like I'll ever be ready... "
I heard something similar recently from someone looking to break into tech...
Your self-talk is effectively programming your mind; saying something like this or even thinking it to yourself regularly is a sure way to halt your progress.
Me: "What do you think 'being ready' means?"

My Laravel PR was shot down, but I may give it a chance later in the year to use Property Hooks as attribute cast.
Why? I blindly guess that using Property Hooks are less computationally costly but also IDE friendly.
"[T]hose claiming we're mere months away from AI agents replacing most programmers should adjust their expectations because models aren't good enough at the debugging part, and debugging occupies most of a developer's time. That's the suggestion of Microsoft Research, which built a new tool called debug-gym to test and improve how AI models can debug software.
Debug-gym (available on GitHub and detailed in a blog post) is an environment that allows AI models to try and debug any existing code repository with access to debugging tools that aren't historically part of the process for these models. Microsoft found that without this approach, models are quite notably bad at debugging tasks. With the approach, they're better but still a far cry from what an experienced human developer can do.
(...)
This approach is much more successful than relying on the models as they're usually used, but when your best case is a 48.4 percent success rate, you're not ready for primetime. The limitations are likely because the models don't fully understand how to best use the tools, and because their current training data is not tailored to this use case."
