@adz_chappers Great question! Some of our offers do not receive the fancy “was” price treatment. Rest assured, if it's on our Today Only page, a discount should be applied! 😊
Learned this recently from @LarsKlopstra
This isn't documented, but in Laravel you can register a listener on the MessageSending event and prevent it from actually sending if a condition is met
This is really useful if you need a blocklist feature to prevent sending to emails that may have bounced in SES to preserve your send reputation
You can modify the email in transit and pull emails out that have been blocked. If there are none left in the email, return false and the email will be silently discarded
@ste_bau 1000000% have the official MailChimp SDK installed on a Laravel system, and it is just so poor. Every time I need to work on it I get closer to just rewriting in Laravel HTTP client.
Another lesson learned. I'll now never under any circumstance use any HTTP API SDK's. Going to use Laravel's HTTP Client or build my own using Saloon
They seem to always have:
- Bugs
- Delayed feature support
- No testing tools or utilities
- Inconsistencies with actual API
@ste_bau I generally find standard ORM features are perfect for 99% of what most people need. I usually use raw SQL, or "raw" SQL in the ORM's syntax when doing large data reports. Means I can be super precise.
I'm never gonna not use an ORM for query languages. If one isn't available, I'm gonna build it and then continue on with my work
It's never a good time raw dogging these in any programing language. You know how I know? Because I did that shit for years and it was absolutely excruciating
Every small feature becomes an insurmountable task because of all the additional logic you need to think about and write. An ORM alleviates that. You'll eventually end up with some kind of home grown one anyway which will be worse than the ones available, or one that you built with intention in the first place
I don't believe anyone who says otherwise on this app. Pshh "Just write raw SQL", yeah NO thanks dog. I'll live in 2025 and you can live in 2005
So I'm now going full time freelance, as well as working on a follow on API course, and building a super secret SaaS project 🔥
I went from 9-5 to ultimate flexibility
@JustSteveKing Depends what you're trying to get from it. But if just a kanban Trello, but also could take a look at todoist as they have a large variety of layout views for managing projects
I need a good personal project management tool I can use between my Mac and android phone.
I have a few long term projects I need to track, as well as clients I'm taking on.
So, the Laravel API course I have been working on is finally ready 🚀
I will be soft-launching it to a few people today, to get early feedback. Then, later this week I will be launching it for everyone!
If you want to join in with the early feedback, I will be letting in the first 10 people who comment on this tweet!
@DT_comic We can probably all have a good educated guess on that. My timeline is filled with bots, memes, and crap. Blocking accounts nearly every day now. This feels like it has accelerated massively in the last three months.
I'll be honest, seeing less and less people engaging with posts on all sites is incredibly dispiriting. Am I doing something wrong? Is the comic not good enough? Am I fighting algorithms? I don't know what to do to improve things. It feels like an uphill battle to nowhere.
What do you use for a repeating to-do list?
I have a few tasks that I want to tackle every day right at the beginning before I move on. Do you use a to-do list for that? Or fixed browser tabs I have seen too?
@CWolf Or the time I got teleported into darkness and died. Couldn't help, or use revivify. And then later that play I kept clipping through elevators and died 🤣🤣🤣
@CWolf The worst part was a bug I had when seeing auntie Ethan. I went underground and there were gas vents, but the gas wasn't displaying and I couldn't work out why I kept failing rolls and dying
I love Baldur's Gate 3 but sometimes it hits a bit of the game where the pacing absolutely grinds to a halt. When I hit those bits I really struggle to push past them.
Currently in the Underdark trying not to step on a trap every. single. metre.
Send help. It's hurting.
