We're live! Talking product metrics for /dev/null twitch.tv/mnapoli youtube.com/@mnapoli_

Back on stream in 30 minutes to talk about product metrics for /dev/null - AARRR framework (pirate metrics) - our actual numbers - how they shape our roadmap twitch.tv/mnapoli youtube.com/@mnapoli_ 5pm UTC / 6pm Europe/Paris / 1pm ET

We're live! Building /dev/null: GitHub orgs + topics twitch.tv/mnapoli youtube.com/@mnapoli_

Live building /dev/null (our social network for devs) on stream in a few hours - adding GitHub orgs - discussing our grand idea for topics (yes, they're coming) 4pm UTC / 5pm Europe/Paris / 12pm ET twitch.tv/mnapoli youtube.com/@mnapoli_

dev-null.sh continues to grow strong, and product hunt launch went pretty well 😛

The dust from yesterday is settling, I want to do a shoutout to @depot.dev Building Bref container images with patched PHP versions took minutes, sometimes seconds. Thanks to them, apps on Bref could be patched in 31 minutes after the vulnerability was published ❤️

can't believe we actually built this in 48h 😂

PHP RFCs are now on externals: externals.io/rfc You can see RFCs, the votes, their related discussions… and the community can now vote on them!

ok everyone. tomorrow. 24 hours from now the ternary brothers are assembling on the jetbrains rooftop we’re building the best social media planet earth has ever seen (all live on youtube) stack: air + laravel + php www.youtube.com/live/6zCNQa3...

I created the `/address-pr-review` skill for PRs: - reads CI status and comments - skips resolved comments - considers each comment: fix the code or push back - replies in GitHub - loop until done All the review is now in the PR, I love it youtu.be/H0nlAvQ6Jlo

all this talk about Rust vs PHP, what if we got both instead? `php artisan dev` running Rust in Laravel with hot-reload

I'll send the Bref newsletter for September soon and it is paaaacked (bref.sh/news if you want to subscribe)

I rewrote it following feedback. `php-fpm` now includes the CLI, to avoid "hardcoding" FPM into `php` forever. Same final result. Just symlink `php-fpm` to `php` and you have the CLI. Kind of like FrankenPHP including the CLI. wiki.php.net/rfc/single-b...

I think I finally found a truly serverless database ✨

When I give Claude Code an issue it assumes too much and starts coding too soon. Plan mode is not interactive enough, too much text. So I wrote the `/implement` skill: it asks questions until everything is clear and we're aligned. Then it moves to code. youtu.be/T6NXfxIcxno

You can now view and search logs from the terminal: bref logs --env=prod --search="payment failed" bref.sh/docs/enviro... It's built to be friendly for humans (pretty-print stack traces, filters noise) _and_ AI agents too (low tokens, multiple filters…)

What would a $50k AWS surprise bill look like

On Bref Cloud, opening a trace now also shows the logs for that invocation. Timeline above, logs below. Warnings, errors, and stack traces without jumping to CloudWatch or a separate log viewer.

Bref now has improved support and docs for multiple Laravel queues. Using multiple queues allows scaling independently, or having different limits or CPU/memory config. Useful for example to process "urgent" jobs separately from big batches, etc bref.sh/docs/larave...

After being asked so many times, Bref finally has a guide to migrate from Laravel Vapor. It is mostly a config change, there should be almost no code change. bref.sh/docs/larave...

Large file uploads with Laravel and Bref is now easier than ever AWS Lambda caps uploads at ~4 MB. For larger files, you can upload straight to S3 from the browser. Bref now provides a direct integration making this very simple: bref.sh/docs/larave...

I’ll be in London Monday and Tuesday. If you’ve set up an interesting workflow with AI let me know, I’d love to interview you (small podcast) Also always interested for coffee or beers! (I’ll miss the Laravel meetup 😢)

I'm in externals for once 😛 externals.io/message/132498 Now time to work on that RFC

I opened my first PR to PHP itself to merge `php-fpm` into `php` 🤞 github.com/php/php-src...
