A helpdesk interface displays support tickets with details about issues, assignments, and urgent tags, emphasizing efficient customer service.
Now is a good time to share that I'm working on the next Spatie product: There There.
It's a helpdesk where AI surfaces context and drafts replies, so your team responds faster and every customer gets a thoughtful answer.
Just watched: Project Hail Mary

I'm doing some homelab stuff and it makes 1 thing very clear: AI sucks at devops.
Happy March 31st to everyone who celebrates!
What's going on with Claude? After exceptionally high usage yesterday, today it feels dumb and slow.
Great job!
You guys really couldn’t wait until 20k to call it a milestone? My OCD is killing me 😂

I have been working on and off on an app idea lately so I'm just going to start sharing it: it's basically a weather app for racing fans.
It's really fun to combine 2 passions (racing and programming).
Thanks Jeremy! Please reach out if you bump into anything unexpected.
AI has made "ask the right questions" an even more important skill.
Resolving merge conflicts is my favourite thing to handoff to an AI agent.
It’s almost there!
I had a really productive day. Some nice things that I have been working on:
- New Mailcoach version with support for Livewire 4 ✉️
- New version for laravel-site-search with an Sqlite driver! 👀
Going to Japan in May, I can learn Japanes before I leave... right?
It was cheaper than going to Laracon EU 😂
Tickets ✅ ✈️
Were you already on Opus 4.6? That seems to have been a nice jump, but sadly also in token usage...
Release the unredacted snippet!
We are planning to go to Laravel Live Japan with a couple of the Spatie guys and it's honestly really exciting. First time in Asia! 🇯🇵
Looks really good 👌
The thing I appreciate most about Claude is his enthousiasm. If Claude was a human he would have said to me to bugger off a 1000x times.
We've just launched the latest version of Ray, the best dump debugger for Laravel, PHP, JS and more. It's faster, more polished, and packed with great new features. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, read more about our new release on the link below.

That's actually a good idea, I'm going to do more walks next week.
I wonder if AI will increase burnout rates in a couple of months. I love how powerfull AI makes me, but I also feel like it makes me go faster than my brain is used to. Either that feeling will go away and we get used to it, or it's going to quietly burn a lot of people out.
A simple graphic showing engineering projects before and after using AI. Above, scoping is approximately 10% of the time, coding 80%, and QA 10%. After, the total time is reduced by about half, and scoping is 40%, coding is 20%, and QA is 40%
This image from my blog post earlier this week really seems to be unexpectedly resonating.
With Claude Code, our total project time is way down, but how engineers spend their time is very different. More architecture, more QA, less coding. www.geocod.io/code-and-coo...
Thanks, I'll look into it!
Sadly for me muting is not enough, I go looking for it myself and I end up spiraling.
I'm going to look into apps that can hard lock social media between certain hours.
I had a terrible night of sleep. I spend way too long doomscrolling X and Reddit about the Greenland stuff. It's probably time to distance myself again from those platforms, but it's really hard when they also provide value I rather not miss.
There’s really no numbers that indicate a decline. These people think they see the first signs of a decline, nothing more.
