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
I’ve spent over a decade remote, mostly head-down in client codebases. The patterns I keep reaching for — Laravel Octane at scale, RAG done right, agentic commerce — don’t show up in tutorials. So I’m writing them down.
Strong opinions, loosely held. Code that runs in production.
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

Code you can actually run
Every post that needs code gets the syntax treatment — real, runnable, not pseudo-code:
use Prism\Prism\Prism;
$response = Prism::text()
->using('anthropic', 'claude-sonnet-4-5')
->withSystemPrompt('You are a senior Laravel engineer.')
->withPrompt('Refactor this controller for clarity.')
->asText();01
That’s it. First post live. More incoming.
