It's the little things that make me love Laravel so much! 😇

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

This is actually Herd Lite 🫶

Did you know about Laravel's Timebox utility? You can timebox a closure to run for a fixed amount of time, even if an exception was thrown. Very useful for preventing timing attacks, where returning too early for certain scenarios could leak logical information.

When writing commands, if you're going to write some info text to the terminal, what do you do? $this->info(...) right? But you can get a much better output if you instead use: $this->components->info(...) There's also error(), warn(), and a bunch of other nice methods as well.

Inertia wasn't feature-complete after all. Love all these goodies man! 💖

I just refreshed Forge now and... 🔥!!!!

Whenever I get a good use case for `->every`, I feel very happy 🤷‍♂️

Just take a look at the comments. Easy win for NativePHP! 🙌

If you're sending temporary download files to users, like exports, one nice tip is to put them in a dedicated directory like "temp", where you can conveniently clean them up periodically.

Rare gem that more people need to know about. 💯 I even now drop the password_rest_tokens table and just use the cache driver. Laravel supports it out of the box.🤘

Remember that you can easily spin through potentially thousands of models in a very memory-efficient way by just chaining on `->each()` directly on the Eloquent builder. 🍃 Just make sure you *don't* `->get()` the results.

Using ->withDefault() on your relationship definition can be very useful for relationships that you know MUST exist. This can help avoid unnecessary conditional checks everywhere.

As someone using Forge every day, no one needs to tell me that a *lot* of attention was put into this thing. The experience just feels so smooth. Prefetching is also quite heavily used. I'm definitely picking ideas to use in my projects. 💅

I also think inertia-modal was used quite expensively. Is that correct Pascal Baljet?

We often dispatch closures to run in the queue, but we don't often talk about how Laravel managed to pull this off! Especially with PHP closures not being natively serializable. The magic happens in the laravel/serializable-closure package, and it unlocks a lot of possibilities.

Needed to refresh the active tenant in a singleton service across queued jobs, and realized it was just way too convenient. 🤫

Always feels very refreshing cleaning up existing Laravel apps in 10.x skeleton. 🧹
