Nouveau A look at the new experimental headingoffset attribute, which lets heading levels adapt to their context instead of hardcoding h2s and h3s. A thoughtful explanation of where this could be genuinely useful, especially in component-based UIs. Read more
Récent Learn how Expressive can improve a Laravel application by keeping Eloquent as the database layer while moving business logic to fully typed objects. Read more
Récent Learn how to use Eloquent Query Classes to organize important database logic in Laravel without adding a full repository layer. Read more
A concise explanation of ADRs: short documents that capture an important decision, the context behind it, and its consequences. Good practical advice on keeping them lightweight, readable, and useful over time. Read more
Every Laravel RAG tutorial builds the same ingestion pipeline (chunk, embed, store) and stops the moment the agent answers on screen. None of them check whether retrieval is any good. But retrieval quality is decided at ingestion, before the model runs once, and four decisions there fail with no error, no exception, no failed test: Chunking that severs the answer mid-sentence, so answer@1 falls while source hit@1 still looks healthy. An HNSW index built with vector_l2_ops while you query with…
How we use class-based Laravel Pennant features, with a kill switch on every flag and a config-driven path to general availability. Read more
Bert De Swaef shows how PHP attributes made his Livewire components easier to read by attaching validation, URL sync, and event listeners directly to the properties and methods they belong to. Nice piece on how attributes reduce mental overhead, improve IDE support, and make components feel more self-documenting. Read more
Mattias open sourced a small Caddy module that caches get_certificate HTTP lookups, avoiding a backend fetch on every TLS handshake. A nice write-up on the problem, the design, and the trade-offs. Read more
A good write-up on the ghost domain problem in DNS: domains removed from a registry can still appear healthy to uptime checkers because recursive resolvers keep stale delegations warm. The Oh Dear team explains the edge case and how they're tightening their resolver setup to reduce that blind spot. Read more
A practical take on multi-agent setups in Laravel: another agent only earns its place when it needs its own model, tools, or instructions. Good piece on delegation tradeoffs, context handoff, and how to test routing before it becomes an expensive latency tax. Read more
![#[RouteParameter] Does Not Bind Your Model](https://freek.dev/og-image/3a05dca5cefbd00c730c736187206bb9.jpeg)
Michael Dyrynda explains a subtle Laravel gotcha: #[RouteParameter] only reads the current route parameter value, it does not perform implicit model binding. Good reminder that the controller signature still matters when you expect a bound model inside a form request. Read more
You can't out-prompt an attacker — to the model, your system instructions and a malicious support ticket are the same text. So stop defending the prompt and lock down the boundaries you actually control: tools scoped to the authenticated user server-side, middleware that screens and logs, output handled as untrusted input, a human in front of anything irreversible, and a fake-free test that fails CI the moment someone drops the auth scope.

Matthias writes that AI has shifted more of software development from typing to thinking, reviewing, and iterating. Nice reflection on how agentic coding, parallel worktrees, and voice dictation can slow individual features down while still increasing overall output. Read more
Flare now supports log collection for Laravel and PHP apps, with real-time filtering and search in the same polished interface. A nice overview of what logging adds and how to get started with the new SDK release. Read more
