Does a massive Claude.md file actually slow down your AI coding agent? A recent experiment across five Laravel projects reveals that deleting these instructions can double your speed and slash token costs by 60%, but there's a catch. While simple CRUD tasks flourished, specialized frameworks like Filament collapsed into a mess of deprecated code without specific versioning guardrails.
Integrating AI into your CMS shouldn't be a shot in the dark regarding costs and latency. I benchmarked five major LLM providers to see which models actually deliver on the promise of speed and affordability. The results reveal surprising winners in the budget category and some major reliability red flags you need to handle before going live.
Claude Code is evolving faster than most developers realize, shipping minor features that fundamentally change how we debug and interact with AI agents. From hidden insights reports to conversational rewinds, these updates solve the friction points you didn't even know you had.
Laravel Boost v2.0 completely changes how AI agents handle project context by replacing massive guideline files with modular 'Skills.' While this saves precious LLM tokens, it introduces a new challenge: the AI doesn't always know when to use them. Learn how to manually trigger these skills to ensure your agent follows the right architectural patterns without bloating its memory.
Claude Code has upgraded from simple to-dos to a sophisticated task orchestration system that tracks dependencies and persistent states. But is this just a UI tweak, or does it fundamentally change how we build large projects? Discover how to configure global project IDs to ensure your AI agent never loses its place, even after a total system crash.
Building a full-scale Laravel application with AI requires more than just clever prompts; it demands strict context management and automated guardrails. Discover why long-running AI tasks often lead to code hallucinations and how forcing Claude Code to generate granular tests results in significantly more stable deployments.
Livewire v4 has arrived, and it is fundamentally changing how we think about component file structure. By moving logic into the view layer with Single File Components, the framework is challenging long-held Laravel conventions. This shift promises faster development, but it requires a new way of organizing your project to avoid chaos in your resource folders.
Building a full-scale quiz platform often leads to a tangled mess of JavaScript and API endpoints. This implementation solves the complexity by pairing Laravel 12 with Livewire and Filament to create a reactive, service-oriented architecture. Learn how to handle real-time timers with AlpineJS and manage complex question banks using Filament's repeater fields without losing your sanity.
Most freelance proposals vanish into the void, but a 'vibe-coded' demo changes the math entirely. By building a functional prototype in three hours and sending a live link, you prove value before the first meeting. But can disposable code really win long-term contracts?
Livewire 4 Beta brings substantial enhancements to how we craft reactive applications in Laravel, fundamentally changing component structures and introducing powerful performance features like islands and deferred rendering. These innovations promise a faster, more fluid user experience, but developers upgrading from Livewire 3 must navigate new component generation defaults and crucial layout configuration shifts. Get ready to rethink your Livewire project structure and embrace a more performant future.
Are your kitchen drawers a tangled mess of utensils, leaving you frustrated every time you reach for a spoon? Off-the-shelf organizers rarely truly fit, leaving wasted space and allowing components to slide around. Discover a hands-on solution that turns kitchen chaos into custom-engineered order, ensuring every item stays exactly where you put it.
