@pestphp how do i convince my organization to change from phpunit to #pest ?
@nunomaduro is the man, but I would also point to --tia testing which makes the test passes much more performant.
show them browser testing, type coverage, snapshot testing, everything that phpunit does not have by default
This is the actual question. We all know the AI has changed the way we were writing codes ... but how about the way we think about the problems and analyze them to find the better solution.
To be honest, what is the first thing you open when starting a new project? 😆
- VS Code
- Figma
- Pen and paper
- Or do you jump straight into ChatGPT?
- Notepad to outline the idea.
- An ERD designer.
- Gemini to refine the design and make corrections so I can decide on the scope.
- Claude to review those changes, thoughtfully decide on the phases and order, and write up the document.
- VS Code and Warp (terminal) to set up my…
@tom can you answer him how I think about problems and analyze them to find better solutions? (figure out something that sounds cool)
Are you interested in a stream where I show you how I set up benchmarks all my AI-automated app logic?
Things like auto-labeling pull requests, grouping /dev/null commits into topics, deciding when to generate recaps for them etc.
Alright I’ll do a quick stream about this tomorrow around lunch time! (Amsterdam time)
I'm bookmarking a bunch of tech blogs and leaving them to sit there.
Is there any good way to deal with this, I wonder?

I'm travelling for Laracon AU conference so I can't pick up my pre-order! :(
Definitely looking forward to playing it though!
I got my mom to allow me to have a new cat. I want some good coding-related name for it. Suggestions?

As expected, that was tough...

Alright guys, realtime is live on /dev/null, things are looking pretty good so far.
Previously we were doing a bunch of polling blindly. No more.
The new flow is quite simple:
- Something changes -> Reverb tells your browser -> browser fetches data -> UI updates
This way we're…
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
git reset --hard
When Ctrl+z won't do
Things you love to hear 🙏
"I'll check this in the browser instead of guessing."
Haha, and things also
you were right I could check further instead of guessing 😜I don't know why, but i never liked this. its a bit off putting.
@cakephp / @codeignitor have the automated route controller mapping and so far its the best i have sen.
Working on something new. 🚀
A web app that brings all your SaaS analytics into one place.
AI agents analyze your data, uncover what's happening, and help you figure out what to do next.
Less time staring at dashboards. More time making the right decisions.…
What stops you from letting your agent into the db and asking direct questions?
Still run into schemas that use plain TIMESTAMP instead of TIMESTAMPTZ in Postgres and then wonder why scheduled jobs fire an hour off whenever Europe or the US shifts clocks. Storing UTC instants with TIMESTAMPTZ and converting at the display layer saves so many timezone bugs.
Storing timestamps without timezones is like storing "somewhere within this day" the worst way possible
Interesting that it works. I kinda like that. You can follow people and when they join you automatically see their stuff.
you can, but it seems you cant see the mentions already. Is there already a pr for seeing this, similar as for an org? @tom
yo, guys. is there some performance nerds?
I wonder if you have any stories about things that might not seem so critical at first glance, but actually provide significant benefits.
Don't run transactions in loops. Definitely not in nested loops.
Build the query and chunk it
Any idea about new project which I can practice of distributed systems in laravel?
Have you tried combining different programming languages?
For example, data analysis in Python, concurrency or monitoring with Go, and business logic in Laravel?
I currently have more availability for software development work.
With 21 years of experience, I can help teams improve and modernize existing applications, making them easier and safer to maintain. This may include improving the code structure and tests or handling dependency…

PHP mascot ranked as a A Tier mascot over programming languages. YEAH!

Atomic SpinProgramming Language Mascots Tier List 2026There’s a lot of discourse online about which programming language is the best, but which languages have the best mascots?
No need for a tier list: the number of elePHPant plushies out in the wild is the best indicator. It's an S for me! and a big thank you for that 🫶🏻
