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.
It's great to see the #PHP ecosystem grow and prosper and I believe proper tool support and performance insights will only help when it comes to choosing the right tool for your job.
It's been a bit of a struggle getting everything to work for me, but thanks to our C specialists all the test scenarios I wrote along the way are now passing, including #Laravel#Octane
If you are using #Laravel#Herd and experiencing issues with Xdebug not recognizing the correct domain: Go to herd.conf and swap fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $server_name; with fastcgi_param SERVER_NAME $host;
Today I collaborated with ondrey on a fix for #phpstan which improves a previous performance fix, which caused perf regressions in a #laravel edge-case.
The new fix allows a 2-3 seconds instead of 2-3 minutes analysis in all mentioned cases.
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
This article uses #React as it's main example, but it applies to #Laravel, #Tailwind, even #Drupal just a much. I say that as a recovering Drupal dev who used to use the standardization argument.
Greedy management is the reason we can't have nice things.
Yesterday I learned that it's possible to change the path where #Laravel apps store uploaded files, caches, logs, etc thanks to the LARAVEL_STORAGE_PATH env var. This is super convenient when distributing apps as standalone binaries using FrankenPHP.
Nous avons le plaisir d'annoncer la sortie d'@ApiPlatform 3.3 ! Découvrez avec @soyuka, le release manager du framework, ce que comporte cette nouvelle version :
#ProLifeTip. Put more effort into periodically reinforcing the learning that got you to this point in your career, because at some point you might spend a weekend implementing something from scratch and realising you've literally forgotten it all.
The wheel aren't rusty, they've fallen off.
How does one work with #Laravel?
What is a Dockerfile? WTF is Vite?
Been battling to get #LaravelSail working with rootless #Podman all evening and aren't having much luck. Boo to overly complex things.
It's so close to working well but the whole uid/gid mapping thing just falls apart when the container starts running things as different users. All of a sudden there're large parts of my source tree that I can't edit, not to mention being unable to use artisan make tools.
