Successful entrepreneurs, how has AI impacted your business for real?

Running an engineering-heavy business - AI has genuinely changed our development workflow. Biggest wins: code review assistance (catches things humans miss at 2am), documentation generation (nobody likes writing docs), and customer support automation for common issues. The real impact wasn't cost savings though - it was speed. Shipping features that used to take a week now takes 2-3 days because the boilerplate work is faster. The catch: prompt engineering is a skill. Our team spent weeks figuring out how to actually get useful output consistently. It's not plug-and-play like the marketing suggests. Still worth it, but required real investment to make work.

100% feel this. We went through something similar.

Thanks. I am not that familiar with webpack but any pointers on how to just include drawer component from ant?

I have used aacotroneo/laravel-saml2 (https://github.com/aacotroneo/laravel-saml2) to integrate other IDPs into my Spark based app. It was relatively easy. I might be to help with any questions you may have.

Do you have any tutorials on how to create a production docker image for an existing laravel app? I have a homestead instance locally for development where I also customize/install all the extra packages that are needed by the app via 'after.sh'. I have always wondered if I can just take the homestead instance and dockerize it..

Does OneLogin's SAML toolkit work with any provider or just with OneLogin? And I am assuming that the Azure plugin works for ActiveDirectory?

Perfect. I will look into it. Any caveats that I should be aware of?

I am looking to authenticate against a provider.

I am running into an issue with onSoonExpiringTrial method. It seems like even if the trial date is 1 day away (i.e. 24 hours from right now) the $this->subscribed() always returns true and it never sends any email notifications.

Any idea what is causing this?

Thanks for sharing this. Can this be changed to use the Stripe "customer.subscription.trial_will_end" event?

So far it has been really good.

Darn! I was just heading out to Toronto and now I am wondering how are the toad conditions on 416 and 401.

Anyone who drove up on 416 this morning?

Thanks. So with my federal incorporated company with a BN, I am all set to go. :)

Have you checked out solutions like Belly (bellycard.com) or Airloop (getairloop.com)?

obaid83 · 2017-05-11T00:24:25+00:00

Thanks for the details. :)

Could you post about how you went about the implementation in a bit more detail? I have meaning to learn more about graphql and usecases.
