Here’s a new one: Claude just told Codex (as the reviewer) to "restate its verdict in neutral engineering language", so we don’t burn tokens on both agents.

Solo by Aaron Francis feels magical and you should try it. Codex was reaching the 5h limit, so I told the orchestrator to collect it's work and pass it to Claude including scratchpads and todos. Soooo gooood!

As much as I want to ditch Arc as my main browser, I really like its look, the profile switcher and the command palette. Should I give Helium, Zen or Brave another try?

Spending the day with WordPress again. Using Claude Code with Playwright and the frontend design plugin is a powerful combo to improve full site editing themes.

Migrating 10+ GB of MySQL data to Postgres completed. Ran into a few annoying quirks in the production environment using pgloader, but eventually it worked. Now monitoring and weekend mode.

Played with pgloader configs today. The error messages are really cool. Managed to migrate a 10+ GB MySQL database to Postgres. I'll be migrating the production Laravel app this weekend.

I've always been impressed by Remotion, but the combination with the best practice AI skills just blew me away today. Feed it some assets in an existing project and some stills of scenes. Claude took it and asked for the dynamic parts and built some fine animations 🤯

Neglected a small Laravel app for a while and decided to upgrade it and move it to a new server on forge. Took a few minutes and all was up and running again. The Laravel VPS on Forge are impressive tbh.

Last month I deployed a Filament + Livewire app that was written by Claude Code. I wrote less than 300 lines. The client had a limited budget, but it worked. I ended up adding some nice-to-have features. Would you read a blog post about it?

Uff, after upgrading to macOS and iOS 26, my Logitech MX Keys S keyboard doesn't connect to either device. Neither Bluetooth nor the Logi Bolt works. Of course I no longer have the receipt, and the Logi support bot is useless. Is this a known issue, or did my keyboard break?

First day at work after 20 days of vacation with my wife. I feel so refreshed. Before, I was using Claude Code a lot. Is it still good, or should I give Codex a try? I downgraded right before the vacation, so I'm open to giving Codex a try.

A few weeks ago, I had my Aaron Francis moment. Someone contacted me to mentor them with a Filament project, all because of my Youtube videos and blog posts. That felt wonderful.

Today marks what would have been my grandfather's 100th birthday. He passed over a decade ago, but I still cherish our conversations. He was a fascinating man, and many buildings he designed still stand in and around Lucerne. I have to visit the city archives someday.

Working on a Laravel Cloud-style navigation for a Filament v4 project, and it's coming along nicely. 🤗 If you're interested in a tutorial, the code, or both, let me know!

Filament V4 Tip: Multitenants and Nested Resources When your nested resource model uses a hasOneThrough relationship to your tenant model, you might want to disable the tenancy for the nested resource (of course check that your authorization works).

Now that Laravel Boost is out, I need to rethink my own Claude Code hooks, agents and commands. Combining them in a project worked quite well, but I need to remove some MCPs that do the same as boost.

Gave Warp with GPT5 a try this morning to compare it to Claude Code, it's not bad but it does overengineer stuff in my experiments, even when told not to do so.
