Found myself thinking about the Mars Climate Orbitor mishap the other day after a config units mix-up. Queue timeout set to 10ms instead of 10s 💥

@OskarStark Maybe the cache key to ensure its deterministic and isn’t being affected by a query parameter or something

🎤 Interviewer: Your API returns stale data for 5% of users. Cache is set to 60s. TTL is correct. No errors in logs. What do you check first? 🤔

Adding a new NOT NULL column in Laravel can be one of those “it worked locally” changes that blows up during a deploy. I wrote up the safest rollout pattern I use, and when to split it across releases (you almost always should). moonpixels.co.uk/articles/safel…

Hey, Laravel crew, do we still care to read non-AI technical deep-dive articles? Honest question to help me determine if I put the energy into writing the backlog of posts in my brain.

I asked ChatGPT what it thought my deepest, darkest secret is 🤫 My real deepest darkest secret? I once stole some Pick 'n Mix from Woolies and I didn't feel guilty.

@mattstauffer With AI moving so fast, it’s hard to find creators who haven’t jumped on the hype train at least once. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, you need a mix of timeless advice with a bit of “this is a new cool thing”. @jeffrey_way and @aarondfrancis are finding the right balance!

If you're looking to learn how to use AI/LLMs in *practical*, *pragmatic* ways--not "what's the latest-greatest", but "how can I as a business owner and/or technologist use these tools for my benefit *today*"... Who do you look to?

@OskarStark I know reading docs is old-fashioned now in the age of AI, but I still enjoy a good read. I buy with my eyes too, and the Laravel docs are more appealing: less busy, easier to follow, more whitespace. Sounds silly, but really helps when digesting a lot (especially for newcomers)

@adamwhp Did you check the Symfony docs and make a comparison on some parts, what is better or can be improved?

Honest question for #PHP devs: If you'd start a new project TODAY – #Symfony or #Laravel? 🐘 And more importantly: why? (No wrong answers, genuinely curious) 👇

Laravel was written before PHP had attributes, so we used properties to define configuration on things. After attributes were introduced, we've accumulated a few attributes that can be used to configure behavior. However, the mix of attributes and properties makes things feel inconsistent. Sometimes you use an attribute, sometimes you use a property. 🤮 For Laravel 13, I've been going through the framework and creating attributes where possible, while still allowing fallback to properties so there are zero breaking changes. 💪 github.com/laravel/framew…

Rebuilt my site over the weekend using @astrodotbuild. It's now super fast and way simpler to maintain! Not sure Lighthouse is the best metric, but it seems to be the gold standard around here, so I’ll take it 😅
