This channel is not for vibe-coders. It's for professional devs who want to use AI as powerful assistant, while still keeping the control of their codebase. My name is Povilas Korop, and I'm passionate about coding with AI. So I started this THIRD YouTube channel, in addition to my other ones Laravel Daily and Filament Daily. You will see a lot of my experiments with AI: I will try new things and share my discoveries along the way.
Claude Opus 4.8 just cleared a perfect 20/20 on our internal coding leaderboard, fixing the logic stumbles that plagued Opus 4.7. While it doubles the speed for React and TypeScript development, its new habit of 'correcting' human prompts reveals a surprising shift in AI creative agency.
Qwen-3.7-Max arrived with massive hype, but real-world testing reveals a model that struggles with basic PHP syntax and fails to solve standard N+1 query problems. Even worse, the astronomical cost per prompt makes it a financial liability for developers expecting elite performance.
Conventional wisdom suggests using expensive models for planning and cheaper ones for coding, but does the quality hold up? A head-to-head experiment reveals that DeepSeek Flash can slash implementation costs by over 70% compared to Cursor, provided your initial architectural plan is bulletproof. The results challenge the need for premium subscriptions when a $0.20 API call can deliver production-ready Laravel code.
Most developers use AI to skip the work, but Claude Code's hidden 'learning' mode turns every prompt into a technical deep dive. By tweaking a single configuration setting, you can force the agent to explain the underlying logic of complex tasks like API versioning while it writes the code.
The coding AI landscape just shifted as Cursor's Composer 2.5 outperforms legacy models in both speed and complex reasoning. While previous versions felt like a mid-tier solution, this update tackles deep architectural flaws like N+1 queries with surgical precision—at a cost that undercuts the major labs.
