Just announced: Laravel Herd, a PHP Laravel development tool for 1 step setup. No homebrew, no other dependencies. Just PHP and composer available in a single step (using valet under the hood I believe)
Switch PHP versions from your menu bar, and includes shareable URLs 🤯

We closed on the PHP house today 🥳
I shed a tear pulling into the driveway. I remembered all the YEARS of nights struggling at my computer learning to code, often feeling like a failure and that I didn’t belong in tech.
But, I kept going.
& I’m so thankful I did.
KEEP GOING!

I’m in awe of people who can work a full time job, raise a family, and also create amazing open source projects.
It breaks my heart sometimes that 99% of the code I’ve written is some company’s private IP.
I really need to get more involved in open source 🥲

One of the best patterns you can use in Laravel is the Actions pattern.
Think of actions as bite-sized single responsibility units of logic.
Examples of actions:
- Create a user
- Send a notification
etc..
Here's why they're so powerful 👇

This is a 🔥 package: It creates consolidated migrations based on your actual database structure.
❌ Dozens of migration files and/or sharing schema dump files after migration squash
🤌 Clean, consolidated create_table migrations.
And it supports all first-party DB drivers!

Today I’m a Sr Engineer at a billion dollar company.
It’s been a *long* journey, but it’s possible. I’m proof 👋

🌶️ take: DRY is a bad rule we should stop pushing.
It often leads to over-engineering for the sake of "maintainability" when often simply repeating things makes the codebase are more readable and maintainable.
DRY is a guide post, not a rule.

Over a decade ago I used to ride the bus and live in a garage. Today I’m building a half million dollar home.
Learning to code changed my life, and it can change yours. It took years. There’s no easy path. But the key to the door is persistence.
