Very proud of these accomplishments. Thanks to @MrPunyapal for spreading the good word!
Testing in Laravel 12.28 just got faster. 🧪 You can now cache your routes and config once per test run, instead of rebuilding them for every test. 💪 A nice performance boost for apps with lots of routes or heavy config. ⚡ Works in both PHPUnit & Pest.

Please stop gamifying all of your apps. It's not fun, I just end up feeling guilt (which is the point) if I miss a day, and when I realize this, I hate your product.

"AI can generate syntactically correct, even idiomatically “good” code, but it doesn’t possess the contextual awareness, the historical knowledge of the project, or the foresight into potential edge cases that a seasoned human developer brings"
Wrapping up the week with a controversial thought: We're all praising GitHub Copilot for its speed, but we're ignoring the fact that it's making us worse engineers. It's eroding our most critical skill: thinking. I wrote about the problem here: https://t.co/FkLtSj05hA

Laravel needs first party support for fully-typed requests/responses and API doc generation. There are great packages (Laravel-data and Scramble) but they feel brittle to me. There’s a lot of reflection and guessing that maybe could be avoided if it was baked in.

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.
90% of the Laravel developers are using "dd" for debugging... feels good read this.. 😌
