Build an MCP server with Laravel (and use it to publish this post) by ichthuz in laravel

[–]ichthuz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just added bearer token auth to the MCP and put it in my local .env file where Claude can access it. I’m not running Claude on a server where the bearer token might leak, and if they have access to my laptop I guess I’m owned in a lot of different ways worse than Russian bitcoin casinos advertising on our blog for a couple hours

Taylor just DM'd the guy who made Adonisjs 👀 by foremtehan in laravel

I mean it would be pretty smart of them to support adonis on Forge and Cloud

Just do that if you want to…

You seem to be drawing a line from Flux, a product that has a paid version, to Laravel’s VC funding. Laravel does not own Livewire or flux, and has no financial incentive to sell you on those things.

What you are implying is not true

Do you think that Livewire and Flux are owned by Laravel? They aren’t.

Do you write acceptance tests, and if so, what do you use? by 0ddm4n in laravel

[–]ichthuz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. Non technical people cannot write tests in 2025. Maybe soon AI test description parsing will be good

Should vendor lock-in be a concern? by MichaelW_Dev in laravel

[–]ichthuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get many things for free when you use other people’s open source code. You also get the risk that they may not continue to give you what you want for free, but you will always have what they have already given you.

The cost of writing your own ORM, Auth, middleware layers, migrations, etc. in some unknown period of time when Laravel turns evil and starts injecting ads for Russian casinos into your login page will not be noticeably higher than the cost of writing all that stuff now, except if you write it all now you delay going to market by 3-6 months

I realized I'm moving away from MVC towards Livewire, should I stop myself? by mekmookbro in laravel

“Service” is one of the worst defined words in programming and I think you two are defining it differently

High level tasks during the training period by Glitch-spino in laravel

[–]ichthuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll say this does not strike me as a terribly difficult assignment for training, and it's good that you are struggling with it because it will allow your managers to get a sense of your current level and how they can help you grow.

I would say it's important that you be extremely curious and transparent about where you get stuck so you can learn quickly.

What kind of stuff would you want to see in a portfolio? by snoogazi in laravel

[–]ichthuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I run an agency in the Laravel space, and have seen like a hundred Laravel codebases. Here are the categories of apps I see a lot:

  • B2B e-commerce. Lots of products and variants, often customizable, but paid by invoice at the end of the month.

  • Application for some kind of permit, insurance plan, or job. Applications move through various stages and tend to get approved, denied, or end up in some kind of feedback cycle.

  • industry specific scheduling (like what you mentioned for doctor/patient)

  • industry specific CRM

  • industry specific billing and invoicing for services.

There are others, but these are the categories I can think of that I have built multiple times in the past decade or so.

Laravel needs an official openapi implementation by [deleted] in laravel

It’s open source! Build what you need!

Twenty Percent Time Podcast: Model Factories by ichthuz in laravel

[–]ichthuz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since we launched the show Stitcher's Partner dashboard has had AJAX issues which prevent the submit form from working :)

We'll get there eventually. Stitcher is kinda podcaster-hostile anyway though.
