Josh Cirre

I'm one to always find a path, process, shortcut, or automation to save me time in almost every single aspect of my life except for two things.

1. Family.
2. Learning.

It's just not worth it.

Thank you! ☺️

Got me.

80 clips! All 5-10 minutes each. 😮‍💨

To be fair, on Typefully, I did purposefully edit it for BSky to use the link instead of image, but it just not have saved. 🙄

Excuse me. I was busy. Doing things.

This was such a cool idea.

I talked to a lot of people at Laracon.

Almost everyone said the SAME THING about why they come back (or why they already know they'll be back).

So I made a video talking about it (and some of my favorite things announced at Laracon 👀)

hint: so many things.

As someone who loves Livewire, I often hear from folks new to the Laravel ecosystem (or curious about it) what they THINK Livewire is and what problems it solves.

But usually there are some things they get wrong.

So I made a video about three things Laravel Livewire is NOT.

Thanks Clay! It’s been a blast actually using AI without having to fight with it ha!

I feel like I was pretty early to the AI game when it comes to using it for code and my day-to-day life.

AI changes fast though.

And even with how fast things change, I found myself using the same AI workflow for the past 3+ months to code, create, and more.

So I made a video.

Hmm. I think that might be intended by Flux maybe? I’ll have to see how the React and Vue one handles this. I’ll have a look!

Interesting. I think the last I heard from the Cloud team, they were installed by default so you just had to start using them.

But let me take a second look at it!

I would still rather be there in the summer than in AZ. And I love AZ/Phoenix.

I DO have it on my list to look at for my channel. 😁

I know this doesn't mean much coming from the PHP guy, but writing modern PHP is actually enjoyable.

With the tooling we have in 2025, it gets harder and harder to write bad PHP code.

Plus, I'm not gonna lie... I think I found the perfect collection of tools.

New video out.

Just a scootch eh?

You all have no idea how excited I am for this month.

Had a great time at Laravel Live UK. It was great seeing @filamentphp.com v4 being released and meeting @joshcirre.com in person. Looking forward to next year!

YouTube video by Laravel Let's Talk About Caching Dos and Don'ts

Caching is one of those things that really is magical, especially with how easy @laravel.com makes it.

But the real magic lies in understanding when and how you should use caching and the options that you have for your specific application.

Here's some things to keep in mind. 💭

I’ve been using Zed (@zed.dev) for about a month almost exclusively. I need to make a video on what I’ve learned.

YouTube video by Laravel Next.js and Laravel Can STILL Be Friends

As much as I love full-stack Laravel/React with Inertia, using Laravel as an API is just as powerful and can be used to incrementally adopt as you port over features or services.

So, yes. Next.js and Laravel can be friends.

Never too much context switching.

It’s a good ‘un!

YouTube video by Laravel Generating Types for Your Frontend with Laravel Wayfinder

Could I interest you in some types?

I'll admit that I've never been a huge type nerd, but when I played around with Wayfinder, I immediately understood why this is a gamechanger (especially if you use Inertia).

So I made a video walking through some of its features. 👇
