I don't miss Twitter but I do miss the #Laravel community I used to interact with there. I don't really see any evidence that those folks are likely to give up on it soon, but I do wish they would. I expect the hard-liners wouldn't end up on Mastodon anyway.
Welp, will just have to do my best to build and contribute what I'm missing to this community.
My first #PHP was 8.0, still in school, and I confess that I began learning it with the prejudice of it being a junky, terrible language everybody was making fun of. Fast forward ~1 year later, after finishing my internship, where I used full stack #Laravel mainly, and having discovered that not only it wasn't that bad, but really a pleasure to work with. Not perfect, but perfectly suitable for its use cases and, what's perfect anyway? So reading this has been a joy. :D https://developerjoy.co/blog/php-doesnt-suck-anymore
Liebs. #LaravelValet ist mal wieder im Eimer. 502 Bad Gateway. Wie ich diesen Fehler hasse und es ist jedes Mal random, wie man ihn behebt. Die üblichen Sachen funktionieren schon mal nicht mehr…
This article is all about how things are looking great for hiring Laravel devs in 2024, and I’m not seeing it.
I’ve been job-searching for 3 months, and very, very, very few of those jobs are decent-paying #PHP / #Laravel jobs. Sure, PHP/Laravel jobs exist, but most (anecdotally) pay far less than the rate others are willing to pay for #Golang, #Python, #Rust, #Elixir, #Java, #Csharp, and #TypeScript developers.
The industry does not value the output of PHP developers.
Someone please explain to me how TF to use #Redis in #Laravel (6, specifically, for now) without just praying that I put the right method name on a facade? How can I inject it instead like a grown up?
Seriously, I can find nothing for how to use basics like incr()/decr() other than "it will simply pass the arguments."
Any reason to not have local .env and .env-staging files in #Laravel? I have a use case where the DB migrations are different on the two, and I can’t refresh the DB each run. Using the attached in bootstrap/app.php and having multiple .env files inside a root /env directory. Would love to hear alternative solutions to this that may not need changes to bootstrap/app.php
Are you a #php developer or a WordPress/Laravel/Symfony/Drupal developer?
Understanding the underlying language will make you more effective and considerably more flexible/employable.
Understanding the language helps you read the framework code and make sense of complex things. It lets you adopt new tech. And it empowers you to switch from one project to another without fear.
I spent this afternoon trying to replace my series of chain-of-responsibility validators with a #laravel pipeline…but think it is wrong to do so as I am not sure how to break out of the pipe on the first validation failure. Ideas on how to do this are appreciated #php
Saw this on the #Laravelshift newsletter (admit I mostly signed up for tips at the bottom), and looks like Jason doesn’t post on Mastodon… yet :) so posting here. Have to admit, I’ve had a hankering for something like a .laravel file a few times now.
#PHP folks, what framework-agnostic tooling (as in not #Symfony / #Laravel / #Laminas etc) are you using for running headless browser-based tests these days via something like #PHPUnit?
I'm looking at setting something up in #Docker on #macOS, I've tried Symfony Panther and it's been a shitshow of errors and not being able to get #Chrome or #Firefox running in Docker :/
If the only #PHP I’ve written has been in the course of forcing Wordpress edge cases to work, how would one suggest getting started with #Laravel? (I write a lot of #Javascript but don’t necessarily want to write it on the server).
Please, web app developers, consider how your users will upgrade. If your upgrade process is "remove the old one, unzip the new one", then it's not an upgrade process. It's an encouragement to never upgrade.
I'm going to do a series on https://securinglaravel.com debunking the various "PHP and/or Laravel is Insecure" claims. Because they are getting pretty ridiculous... 😒
Great question in the comments for: https://securinglaravel.com/p/security-tip-disable-dev-tools-on
"Would you recommend moving "laravel/tinker" to dev?"
No, since it's only a command line tool, but you do need to consider your audit trail. Building custom Artisan commands instead would be easier to test and review. #Laravel#PHP
Due to some questionable life choices, I need to use PHP/MySQL for the back end of a simple web app. In particular for user authentication.
I'm coming from Django (which I like) and .NET MVC (which is OK I guess). Which PHP framework will I vibe with the best? I see words like "Laravel" and "Symfony". Are these any good?
