I never really understood peoples obsession with Japan, but now I have been there... I really miss it, and I want to go back.

One thing is not yet fully clear: are the PHP patches still being worked on, or are we waiting for some symbolic release time?

While in the old days, waiting for a set release time might have made sense, we can assume bad actors have already reverse engineered the vulnerability and are ready to exploit it. Hiding the fix until everybody is ready to update might not be the best option in the age of AI.

The Grafana MCP is such a superpower to help you manage a large production app. It makes it so easy to ask your agent operational questions.

Open-source is for millionaires who have enough money and looking for ways to achieve fulfilment in their life. Us, working class, don’t have the luxury to code for free.

Every project is different, and there's definitely some good use cases where giving your AI agent DB access is fine, but let's try and always keep customers privacy in mind when doing so.
You can now create read-only database users for Laravel MySQL databases in Laravel Cloud. Great for granting access to agents or even for humans tbh.
