I wanted to stop controllers calling external services, however deep in the call graph.
So I built a PHPStan extension: mark external calls as 'slow', forbid 'slow' in controllers, and let it flag violations. Probably has many other uses too.

Lerd is a free, open-source local PHP development environment for Linux and macOS, think Laravel Herd, built for people who also run Linux.
It runs nginx, PHP-FPM, your databases and services as rootless Podman containers, managed by systemd on Linux. There is no Docker daemon, nothing runs as root, and nothing is installed into your system PHP or your package manager's paths, so uninstalling leaves a clean machine.
You get .test domains with trusted HTTPS, every PHP version side by side, a web dashboard, a terminal UI, a CLI and an MCP server for your AI assistant.

New "futuristic" Laravel package!
square1-io/laravel-mpp: Add machine payment capabilities to your Laravel APIs github.com/square1-io/larave…
Charge AI agents for access to Laravel routes with the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP).
Feels like we live in the future! :)

Five months ago I launched Lerd with a handful of stars and no idea if anyone would care.
Today: 840+ stars, 18 contributors, users in 40+ countries.
I wrote about what worked, what completely failed, and what surprised me:

Indie developers spend years building games that never get discovered, so here’s me shamelessly resharing mine.
It’s called Berroku 🫐
If you enjoy smart puzzle games, I'd genuinely appreciate a repost or a try. Every share helps more than you think ❤️

From the docs: it offers a clean syntax using custom HTML attributes and supports advanced templating features like view composition, slots, conditional rendering, loops, and built-in security measures.

a SaaS company reached out to us after OpenClaw-style agents are sending ~50k requests per hour (wayyy above normal site usage). the company now wants to charge agents small amount for reads and writes with @stripe machine payments.
if this is also you (or may soon be), say hi.
