Member member shoot out. Yes I’m taking pictures from sidelines 😭

Jev has been all over my feed. So instead of arguing about it, I put it to work in a real Laravel app 💪 Episode 1 of Decide with Jev is out. We ask Jev if a draft matches its brief. It answers with a number, not a paragraph, so PHP can decide what happens next. Why does that matter? You can't write an if statement around a paragraph. You can write one around a number. High means the draft is a good match. Low means it isn't. Anything in the middle goes to a person, and the editor always makes the final call. I'm not saying Jev is smarter than a chat model. For this kind of job, it just gives the right shape of answer. In this first episode we install the Laravel AI SDK, connect it to Jev, and test it on four drafts, including one that tries to trick it. Next up: three questions in one request.

No lies told.

I’ve watched my cousin Vinny enough times to know how this ends. Not guilty!

Pro tip for when you get my age. Always take a picture of the parking deck level. 😛

We just sent out an email that we're closing off new sign-ups to Laravel Vapor. We have absolutely no plans to shut down the platform for existing customers, and we continue to make bug fixes and updates to keep the platform stable. 🫶 We were only getting ~5 sign-ups per week on Vapor, and we believe new customers would be better served (and save money!) on Laravel Cloud, which is an evolution of everything I learned building Vapor. Again, no need to stress or worry if you're an existing customer. We commit to keeping Vapor online, secure, and performant for you. Thank you for your support. ❤️

This should be fun to watch.

Now I’m officially really short. 💀

Love angry Ian. 😂

im sure someone is already doing this, but we need something like this in laravel so you can treat jev as intelligent runtime if and match statements

A night out. 🎉

And this is why golf is the most difficult sport ever.

If there ever was a good use case for saying finally. This is it!

Don't sleep on Laravel in this new era.
