Most developer blogs read like a LinkedIn post had a baby with a Medium article. This one won’t.
I’m Anass. I ship Laravel + Shopify + AI for a living, and this is where I take notes out loud.
Why now
The patterns I keep reaching for don’t show up in tutorials. So I’m writing them down.
The notes I wish I had
Think Laravel Octane at scale, RAG done right and agentic commerce.
Each of those took real projects to get right. Writing them down helps me, and it might save you a few late nights.
What you’ll find here
- Laravel internals you actually use day to day
- AI engineering with Claude and MCP
- Shopify Plus app patterns
- Architecture and DevOps lessons learned the hard way
This blog vs the AI-slop blog
| What you get | This blog | AI-slop blog |
|---|---|---|
| Real production code | Yes | No |
| Opinions | Yes | No |
| GPT-written filler | No | Yes |
| Personality | Yes | No |
Code you can actually run
Every post that needs code gets the syntax treatment: real, runnable, not pseudo-code.
// app/Actions/AskClaude.php
use Prism\Prism\Enums\Provider;
use Prism\Prism\Facades\Prism;
$response = Prism::text()
->using(Provider::Anthropic, 'claude-sonnet-5-5')
->withSystemPrompt('You are a senior Laravel engineer.')
->withPrompt('Refactor this controller for clarity.')
->asText();
Key takeaways
- Notes from real work: Laravel, Shopify and AI patterns that tutorials skip.
- Code that runs: every sample is written for production, not slides.
- No noise: follow along with RSS, no newsletter or popup.
That’s it. First post live. More incoming. If you want this kind of work on your own product, here’s how I help teams ship Laravel, Shopify and AI features.
Which topic should I write about first: Laravel at scale, RAG, or agentic commerce?
