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.
Well, that fucking sucks. I just went into my o3 meeting with the boss and was told that I don't have a job anymore. If anybody is looking for an experienced #vue / #node / #php dev in the #Milwaukee area (or remote), let me know.
I need some #PHP feedback on a test implementation of jwt token auth:
JWT tokens are valid forever, however we would like to invalidate all tokens when a user changes their password.
We've solved this by saving a random value at the user, and storing this in the token. Whenever the token is used, we check if this is the same. When a password gets changed, we also change this value, which then makes all old tokens invalid because they don't contain this value.
As a consequence of using a single monitor setup, I'm generally trying to have my code lines as narrow as possible, so I can avoid as much as I can doing horizontal scrolling. Luckily #PHP formatters are pretty OK with having, say, one array item or function parameter per line, the splitting options are very liberal and IMO it keeps being pretty legible. I just hope this is considered "good" (or "acceptable" at least) practice. :D
How's that possible that people like @OndrejMirtes or Keradus don't have #PHP RFC voting rights? It does not make any sense. Language should be evolving under an eye of people who know it most, not people determined enough to check all the points of the onboarding list.
Hey #php people! Is there a way to implement an abstract constant? I have an abstract class which implements some stuff for my value objects and a constant IDENTIFIER I would like to enforce to be overwritten by the child classes.
My knowledge of #PHP could be better (read: it’s atrocious) can anyone recommend any resources for learning PHP for absolute beginners? I’m not a developer, I know a little html/css, nothing about JS and enough PHP to be dangerous.
Any recommendations welcome - happy to pay for them too. 👍
