Windows users don't know what this screenshot is 😂 #ai

Laravel devs Why would someone prefer Laravel Nova over Filament PHP? Especially when you consider that Laravel Nova is a paid option. 🤔 #laravel

🗑️ Laravel Soft Deletes = Never lose data Perfect for: ✅ Data recovery ✅ Audit trails ✅ Trash features ✅ Compliance needs Records stay in the database, just hidden 🔒 #laravel

This is me, making sure that my calendar is full with content 🙂 Thank you gaplos.com 😎🙈

🔒 Laravel Atomic Locks = Zero race conditions Perfect for: ✅ Duplicate prevention ✅ Critical operations ✅ Distributed coordination No external services needed 🚀 #laravel

Prevent the same Laravel job from running twice simultaneously. Automatic queue release if job is already processing. Perfect for credit updates, reports, any operation that can't overlap. One line. Zero race conditions. #laravel

🤯 Laravel Model Broadcasting = Real-time updates with ZERO boilerplate Add BroadcastsEvents trait to your model & Laravel auto-broadcasts: ✅ Created ✅ Updated ✅ Deleted ✅ Restored No custom events needed. Frontend gets instant updates automatically. This is why I love Laravel 🔥 #laravel

🔥 Laravel's HTTP Client fires 3 events you should know about: 🎯 RequestSending - before the request 📨 ResponseReceived - after response ❌ ConnectionFailed - when it fails Perfect for: ✅ Logging all API calls ✅ Monitoring performance ✅ Error tracking Game-changer for API-heavy apps! 🚀 #laravel

🧠 Your brain isn't built for memorization, it's built for recognizing patterns. Top devs don't memorize every function. They build systems for debugging, code review, and knowledge sharing. Solid systems = everything clicks Broken systems = spinning wheels #laravel #php #remote

Who would have thought that I would get more views than StackOverflow in 21min. P.S. there are still questions being downvoted out of nothing 😂StackOverflow is a really dark place 😎

AI cannot do this 😅

A great way to start the week: https://github.com/symfony/ai #php

Freelancing is dying... 5 minutes on Upwork and you will see countless examples like the one in the screenshot. Non-technical people create a prototype using AI and tools such as Lovable and call it production ready 😂 What you see in the screenshot, is 1/3 of the requirements

Who remembers this https://github.com/laravel/laravel/pull/5361? 😅 #laravel

Here are all the AI tools I use daily as a Software Engineer: 1. Copilot 2. Claude 😅

PHP 8.5 new features: array_first() and array_last() functions 🔥 Works on indexed AND associative arrays. Returns the actual value, not the key. This is going to save so much time... what took them so long? 😅 #php

The biggest scam of this century is not crypto. No, it's vibe coding. 😂 #vibecoding

Your code broke in production. Here's how top developers respond differently 🧵

You know what's better than reading 12 books a year? 2. Read 2 books that align with the person you want to become and read them daily and focus on the highlighted text. Don't push yourself reading 12 books when you read none, you will fail and then you are back to square one.

Ever wonder why some codebases feel like they "just make sense" while others are a nightmare to work with? 🤔 After 16+ years in software, I've noticed a pattern...

Stopping disposable emails in SaaS is crucial for data integrity & resource optimization. I always implement this when architecting systems! #laravel #php #ddd #cleancode #saas #softwareengineering

Can AI automate my night routine? #32 I would pay hard for such a service 💆‍♂️ #ai Shared via gaplos.com

Warm milk with honey 🍯before bedtime. Nothing can beat that 😋 An easy recipe to get 8 hours of sleep so we can code 12 hours tomorrow 😂 Shared via gaplos.com

Embrace the beginner's mind 🌱 Put yourself in situations where you're a novice. Try new hobbies, explore unfamiliar subjects. When you feel the urge to pretend expertise, choose vulnerability instead. Fresh perspectives come from admitting you don't know everything. 🤷‍♀️

What a world we live in 🤦‍♂️ Shared via gaplos.com

Stay curious by asking better questions 🤔 Move beyond "What?" to: "Why does this work this way?" "How does this connect to what I know?" "What assumptions am I making?" "What would challenge my understanding?" The quality of your questions determines the depth of your learning.

The person you become is shaped by daily choices, not grand gestures 💪 Resilience = bouncing back faster each time ⛹️ Integrity = aligning actions with values when no one's watching 🙈

AI makes anyone capable of mimicking your advertising tactics. So what will set you apart? Having a durable brand on authenticity and trust. Biologically, being authentic and trustful is what can help you build long lasting relationships with humans, the same is in business.

Threads feels like a different beast! There's so much value in it nowadays. 👌

In the past, we waited for code to compile and run. Now, we wait for DeepSeek to finish thinking. 😅 #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

🔒 Prevent race conditions with lockForUpdate(): $user = User::where('id', 1)->lockForUpdate()->first(); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

📊 Need to query JSON? whereJsonContains() is perfect: $users = User::whereJsonContains('options->languages', 'en')->get(); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

🛠️ Create custom builder methods with macro(): Builder::macro('role', function ($role) { return $this->where('role', $role); }); $admins = User::role('admin')->get(); $customers = User::role('customer')->get(); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

🎯 Custom query scopes? scope makes it reusable: // In User model public function scopeActive($query) { return $query->where('status', 'active'); } // Usage $activeUsers = User::active()->get(); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

🔄 Insert or update in bulk? upsert() is your magic wand: User::upsert([ ['email' => '[email protected]', 'name' => 'John Doe'], ['email' => '[email protected]', 'name' => 'Jane Doe'] ], ['email'], ['name']); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

🎭 Dynamic casting? withCasts() makes it happen: $user = User::withCasts(['is_admin' => 'boolean'])->find(1); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

⏰ Need to skip timestamps? withoutTimestamps() got you: User::withoutTimestamps(fn() => User::create(['name' => 'John'])); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

Don't build your apps on trends. Trends come and go. Write clean code that is independent from infrastructure and can exist by itself. #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

⚡ Stop accidental lazy loading with preventLazyLoading(): Model::preventLazyLoading(!app()->isProduction()); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob

🚫 Exclude relationships? without() keeps queries lean: $user = User::without('comments')->find(1); #laravel #ddd #php #softwareengineering #devlob
