Showing data on a Laravel + Inertia page is four classes, one job each: IndexQuery fetches the list. ViewModel shapes the page. Resource shapes each model. Format a date or prepare some select options? ViewModel. Filter a list? IndexQuery. Shape a model? Resource. Code is puzzled intentionally 👌
A Laravel controller receives input, delegates, returns a response. That’s the whole job. Banned inside, by rule: branching, calculations, inline Eloquent, ->save/->update/::create, DB::transaction. All of it lives in a Core Action. Input in, delegate, respond.
About controllers in Laravel. One rule I never break: one endpoint = one invokable controller, one __invoke(). No multi-method controllers. CRUD isn’t one BookingController with 7 methods. It’s 7 tiny classes, one reason to change each. Route::resource() banned — it hides 7 endpoints behind 1 line.
After 15 years in IT, I compressed everything into 3 things that actually matter: 1.Keep It Simple, Smart — not dumb-simple. Intentionally simple. 2.Separate concerns 3.Single source of truth. When architecture is blurry, AI amplifies the blur. Full article 👇 lshnpt.dev/journal/what...

Taylor Otwell on stage, founder of Laravel. One of those people who quietly shaped years of my professional life. And it’s clear that we are entering into Agentic Age of software development. The shift is huge and quite drastic. #laravel #laraconeu #laracon2026 #webdev #agenticai
just written some reflections about the approaches and patterns which still matters for me the most in building apps with Laravel. Nothing new, but found it extremely relevant for myself. What does matter to you? (At the edge of AI 🙂) #laravel #software #ai
