If anything, Laravel has been what has kept PHP relevant. The community (both PHP and Laravel) has continually grown year over year after the sharp decline of everyone’s poor experience with PHP < v5.0, and Laravel has clearly been responsible for that more than anything.

If you work to inflict violence on others, you shouldn’t be surprised when it’s attempted to be inflicted back on you. I’m not saying it’s a just worldview, but it is pragmatic.

Hardly.

Heard! Thank you!

Thank you! Lol, you just happened to catch me in the middle of a broken deployment.

FWIW I mainly use Opus 4.6 on the $100/mo Max plan, and rarely run into these issues. They certainly occur with lower-tier models, with increased frequency the cheaper the model is - as for someone using it for a significant portion of their professional and personal work, I don’t really understand why this continues to be a widespread issue. Thoroughly vetting Plan Mode output also seems like an easy resolution to this issue, which most devs should be doing anyways IMO (e.g. `npm install random-auth-package`).

I really don’t understand the widespread adoption of OpenClaw when a simple prompt injection in an email, chat message, or calendar event has the potential to leak the credentials/keys for every attached service.

The golden age is over. It’s a saddening experience watching something you care about, and your opportunities to build a career and life around it, fade away. The reasons for this are numerous, (like you mentioned; ZIRP, COVID, etc) but the ultimate irony IMO was the layoffs/AI push being an industry-driven nail in the industry’s own coffin.

There’s also something to be said about the industry’s faltering after the social era, a period which largely began the degradation of Big Tech’s public image, which was worsened even more by the overcorrection into Crypto/Web3, and finally through AI - which feels just as forced as the previous era was.

This seems like a weird hill to die on.

I think the record has shown that this administration isn’t very considerate of frivolous things like “fact-based study” or “empirical evidence.”

You can clearly run the provided gist. Calling “You are OpenCode” in the system prompt fails, but not if you replace the name with another tool name (e.g. “You are Cursor”, “You are Devin”). Pretty blatant difference in behavior based on a blacklisted value.
