Jev Is Not a Chatbot, and That’s the Point
09 Oct 2026 | Basile Aelterman
TypeSafe AI recently unveiled Jev, not another chatbot like Claude, ChatGPT, etc. But a smart, fast decision model that your code can reliably use to perform actions, based on input. In this blogpost, I'll go over what exactly Jev is, how it works, and why it's something to keep an eye out for.
Websecurity: The first line of defence
02 Oct 2026 | Peter Cornelis
In a day and age where hacking and data theft are common, understanding and implementing strong security measures is more important than ever! In the first part of our web security series, we’ll take a closer look at three of the most common vulnerabilities found in applications: SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). We’ll explore how these vulnerabilities work, demonstrate why they can be dangerous, and look at how developers can protect their applications against them.

Verifying VAT Numbers in Your Laravel Application
21 Aug 2026 | Basile Aelterman
Let's imagine a company trying to create an account on your Laravel application. How do we verify that this company actually exists, and isn't just making stuff up? Every legitimate European business has a VAT number — an official tax ID. Dennenboom's VAT number, for example, is BE0770405771. So rather than trust a signup blindly, we can ask whether that number belongs to a real company, and the data isn't just made up. And we don't have to build that check ourselves.
PSRs: What They Are And Why You Should Know Them
24 Jul 2026 | Basile Aelterman
Almost every programming language out there has at least some sort of standards and best practices so other developers can more easily read, and understand each others' code. PHP is no different. That's why we have PSRs (PHP Standards Recommendations), so we have some sort of guidelines to follow so our code doesn't become a chaotic mess. In this blogpost we'll cover what exactly they are, why you should know them and we'll also throw in some examples so you can better see the difference it can make in your codebases.
Laravel Basics: Routes, Controllers and Views
24 Jul 2026 | Basile Aelterman
Every request that hits a Laravel app follows the same journey: a route decides where it should go, a controller handles the request and decides what should happen, and a view decides what the end user actually sees. In this blogpost we'll break down that whole journey — from everything you can do with routes, what belongs in a controller, what exactly a view is and how blade components keep your templates from turning into a pile of spaghetti code.

Building a GDPR-Friendly Analytics Package: The Tech Behind Findle
22 Sep 2025 | Ayoub EZZINI
Laravel's ecosystem is packed with analytics solutions, but most either store too much personal data or fail to filter out bot traffic effectively. That's why we built Findle - a page view tracking package that respects privacy while delivering accurate data.
Building Verdant UI: How We Stopped Reinventing Dashboard Wheels
22 Sep 2025 | Ayoub EZZINI
Tired of rebuilding the same dashboard components for every Laravel project? We were too. After copy-pasting forms, tables, and navigation for the fourth time in six months, we built Verdant UI, our component library that cut dashboard setup from days to hours.
Why Your Code Needs Bodyguards: The Real Value of Testing
26 Jun 2025 | Ayoub EZZINI
Testing isn't overhead—it's your superpower. Feature tests catch the "it worked yesterday" bugs, unit tests guard your logic, and that green CI check means you can deploy with confidence instead of crossed fingers. Here's how we transformed from debugging heroes to prevention masters.
PostgreSQL: The Swiss Army Knife of Databases
09 Jun 2025 | Ayoub EZZINI
Modern applications typically require diverse data handling: search, documents, time-series, caching. The conventional approach uses specialized databases for each. PostgreSQL eliminates this complexity.
