I use dd() for debugging, but like… step debugging was revolutionary for me. I wouldn’t have understood how the Laravel framework worked if it wasn’t through stepping in and out of function calls. I do not understand those who think print/dd debugging is all you need.

My first thought was: why is this person shooting baskets in front of a row of urinals?

Cool article about a feature our team has benefitted from. The example here is almost verbatim what is in our codebase 😁

I wrote a simple statsd server with @reactphp I felt like a fish out of water having to write a require_once statement for the first time in I don't know how many years 😅

I want to try my hand at something different, so I thinking maybe async PHP. How did you decide which package to use (ReactPHP, AmPhp, ...others)? Appreciate any tips/guidance/feedback from folks who have trod this road @timacdonald87 @enunomaduro @_joedixon

I’m a @laravelphp developer

The hope is to move some of the niceties of Laravel Data directly into the framework. 🙏🏻

A long-shot Laravel framework PR to add factory functions to classes which will tell the container how to construct them. Allow building strongly typed request objects without needing two separate classes 😍

Yo, what’s this ChatGPT thing people are talking about? Could be big.

To me these changes have pushed pint over the edge for choosing styling for a new project. ✅ configuration via JSON rather than a PHP file ✅ easy run in parallel and specify the cores ✅ comparison against git branches

In the next release of @laravel pint, you will be able to specify the number of max-processes in parallel mode. This is helpful when running in CI to avoid the core counter assuming your node owns all of the cluster cores. 😅

🥳🎉🎊🙌

I think Taylor is spot on in saying people want to contribute to something and feel they can make it even better. I have definitely found that personal satisfaction with Laravel and contributing to their projects.

Soft deletes are ok when you add them at the start of a small app. Soft deletes are miserable when you add them to core models six months down the line in a growing app.

“Discipline doesn’t scale” will be repeated by me, probably until my death. Thanks @dillon_mulroy for this pithy saying.
