Statamic turns 14 today! 🎂🎉 Here's our launch post — from an era of the web that glows warmly with nostalgia. Also in 2012— Facebook went public and acquired recent photo sharing startup Instagram for $1 billion. Yahoo! bought Tumblr for $1.1 billion. Slack and Tinder launch. Wild. ❤️
Something is wrong with my Claude Code and I can't figure it out... The latest model I can use is Opus 4.5. It claims that updates are available but Homebrew says I'm on the latest version. I've tried re-installing and clearing my .claude directory to no avail. Any ideas?
Our friend Marty Friedel is taking the stage at Laracon AU in Brisbane this November with a talk called High Performance Statamic — the story of dragging a decade-old, 50k-page site into Statamic + Bard and making it FAST.
Just run `laravel new` on a side project idea. Solo by @aaronfrancis.com is busy creating to-dos, spinning up agents, creating sandboxes and running my dev stack. All while I'm sitting back watching YouTube!
It's been a while since I launched smth, does posting on ProductHunt still matter these days?
I've had this one in my drafts for a while. We recently needed to set up Satis to distribute private packages. We could have used Private Packagist but we opted to self-host using Satis instead. Here's how we set up Satis on a Laravel Forge server. ⬇️ duncanmcclean.com/satis-larav...
Setting up Satis on Laravel Forge
We recently set up Satis for distributing private packages at work. We could have used Private Packagist but we opted for Satis because we wanted to control auth and avoid an unnecessary monthly expense.

As an OSS maintainer, my new rule is that anything a frontier model can find with some reasonable effort is a 0-day. Hence why I'm now shipping security releases on public holidays.
Ran into something I hadn't considered with clearinghouse.app this week. Accountants/bookkeepers are a big audience for my app, but while one was onboarding, they realised that only admins can install Stripe apps. They only had "Accountant" access (and rightly so) 😬

If you haven't updated Composer to 2.9.8 or 2.2.28 (LTS), do so urgently! GitHub will restart the rollout of their new GitHub Actions tokens later today. They've improved secret masking to cover this Composer issue, but you're safer if you update. #composerphp #php #phpc
Packagist@packagist.com · 3mo ago🚨 Security advisory: Composer 2.9.8 and 2.2.28 fix a vulnerability leaking GitHub Actions GITHUB_TOKENs to job logs via error messages. Update now or disable affected workflows. blog.packagist.com/composer-2-9... #composerphp #phpc #php
