Stop Building Bad Laravel APIs | Do This Instead

Is your Laravel API a "Big Ball of Mud"? In this video, we’re moving beyond basic tutorials to look at how professional developers build maintainable, scalable, and clean APIs. We’ll break down the common mistakes—like bloated controllers and manual JSON responses—and replace them with modern Laravel patterns. Hello friends, Tony here! In this video, we explore how to build a production-ready "laravel project" with a focus on "rest api" development. I'll guide you through setting up an effective "api in laravel" and cover essential aspects of "backend development." This practical guide will help you understand "what is api" and how to implement it efficiently.

Being anti-hype does not mean being anti-AI

Does everyone need to have an AI hot take right now, or is there value in waiting until you actually know what you're talking about?In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss why it took us 147 episodes to finally tackle the topic of AI.We dig into the tension between wanting to speak with authority and feeling pressure to share before you're ready. Aaron makes the case for building deep knowledge first, while acknowledging that people at every stage of the learning curve play an important role in moving the community forward.We also talk about how fast the AI landscape is shifting, why zooming out matters more than memorizing details, and why being a slower mover isn't something to apologize for.(00:00) - Why we haven't talked about AI yet (01:00) - Building deep knowledge before sharing opinions (02:30) - AI moves faster than JavaScript frameworks (04:30) - Zoom out before sweating the details (06:15) - Every stage of the learning cycle matters (07:45) - Silly bit Want to get that new AI tip we mentioned?

Augment Intent AI Workspace for Developers

Is your IDE feeling a bit... 2024? Welcome to the era of Agent Orchestration. In this video, we’re diving deep into Augment Intent, the AI-native workspace designed for developers who are tired of juggling 20 terminal tabs and stale prompts. Augment Intent isn't just another AI sidebar; it’s a dedicated environment built for Spec-Driven Development (SDD). Instead of just "chatting" with an LLM, you define a living spec, and Intent’s multi-agent system (Coordinator, Implementors, and Verifiers) handles the heavy lifting in parallel. Hello friends, Tony here! This video introduces Argumnet Code, a new application for agent coding. It showcases the developer workspace where ai agents are coordinated, specs stay alive, and every workspace is isolated, demonstrating its functionality with a "Hello world" message. This tool promises to streamline software development with its agentic ai capabilities.
