I finally feel comfortably enough to call myself a developer. It has taken lots of projects and getting over impostor syndrome to do it, but I'm there now.

PHP tip. Use `sprintf()` if you want to generate some numbers in specific sequence, with leading zeroes. Example of hotel room numbers like 101, 102, 103, etc.

Hey Laravel Developers 👩‍💻 What if you get a requirement that you don't want your users to be logged in from multiple devices simultaneously? Do not worry; Laravel makes it pretty easy to implement such functionality. The Auth facade comes with a logoutOtherDevices() method which you can use to immediately logout the users from other devices as soon as they log in to the current device. Here is an example code snippet for the same... #laravel #php

Here's a Laravel tip that's not well documented. I learned it directly from OpenAI's o1-mini model, actually: You can sort records using a relationship's column maximum value in an Eloquent-friendly way. Use case: Let's say you have products. Each product has reports. You want the first product in the list to be the one with the most recent report. Well, that's one way you can do it. There's only one mention of withMax() in the documentation without any example.

Laravel Tip 💡: A Better Pluck We often need to get the IDs of some models. While you can use the "pluck()" method to do this, you can also use "modelKeys()", which reads better and won't break if you change the primary key at any point 🚀 #laravel

do yourself a favor: in your "pest.php" file, globally, ensure that all HTTP requests must be faked, so you never hit a real API 🤌🏻

Hey Laravel Developers 👩‍💻 A common scenario in programming is assigning a value to a variable based on a condition or otherwise setting it to null. Typically, we define a null variable and then assign the actual value inside an if statement. In Laravel, we can simplify this with the when() helper method, which takes a condition and a callback function as parameters, allowing us to handle this assignment logic in a single statement. #laravel #php

Ben does some really good stuff, looking forward to seeing where this one goes!
I'm trying to make a modern debug bar for Laravel. It's a super early concept, I have innovative ideas to try that will make the debug bar a true coding companion. I'd love to share more later if anyone is interested. For now, I'm just trying to improve the UI by reimplementing the basic features everyone, no matter their level, needs.

Did you ever get annoyed by PHPStan complaining when retrieving config values and you must type a /** @var string */ comment? TIL from @danmasonmp that you can use type-hinted config methods to retrieve typed values from Laravel config.
