Laracon India. Lets get gross. Sweatshops. Cohort 2By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

Joe Tannenbaum took the internet by storm with his incredible SSH CLI "experiments." In today's episode, Chris and Joe sit down to get into the messy details of parsing ANSI escape sequences and dealing with multibyte strings, but spend as much time talking about programming as art and life as an actor. Links: Joe Tannenbaum on Twitter Joe's "Lab" …

We've become addicted to cheap money. Our cheap conveniences are like shifting sands. As VC titans play on our insecurities and whims, only soup stands to sustain us in the world to come.By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

Look we all know there are things to talk about but we recorded this last week before any of that stuff happened!By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

What are the best processes for small software development teams with high trust? In today's episode the InterNACHI software development team sits down with John Rudolph Drexler to talk about whether or not we need to estimate tickets or even bother with sprints…By Chris Morrell

As the saying goes: "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things." So in today's episode we dig into all the ways Ian is taking on one of the hardest parts of programming in his rewrite of their decades-running helpdesk software, HelpSpot. We talk about caching, a little bit of Laravel history, and about…

Complex view logic can be hard to get right—particularly in server-rendered templates like Blade. We recently had to decide just how much a Laravel Blade component should do, and decided to hash it out on the podcast.By Chris Morrell

When applications grow—in scope, sheer lines of code, or the number of team members—how you organize things starts to matter a whole lot more. In today's episode, we talk with Mateus Guimarães about modularization: breaking your application into smaller modules. We explore some of the topics in his new Laracasts course, and talk about the decisions…

It's been said that web development is 99% forms and tables. Today we talk with Adam Wathan about all the decisions that go into creating a great form builder API. Adam and the rest of the team at Tailwind recently launched the developer preview of Catalyst—a React UI library with a robust form system. We take a deep-dive into the API decisions beh…

We all use our personal websites as an excuse for trying something new or over engineering what's usually a simple, low traffic site. In today's episode, Chris and Aaron talk about how to build a great personal website with "just Laravel" and imagine ways that static site generation, markdown editing, open graph, caching, SEO, and more could be imp…

Daniel and Caleb wax nostalgic about the various eras of Laravel, their long and eventfull friendship, Laracon talk nerves, and a tentative plan for WIRECON.By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

In today's episode, Chris and Caleb sit down and try to imagine what the perfect "hook" implementation might look like. Laravel, Livewire, and the upcoming Verbs package, all have to allow for hooking into logic at specific points, and each package has to handle this in its own unique way. What if there was a canonical way to hook into the lifecycl…

And now for something completely different… In this episode, Chris and Daniel sit down to talk about a new event sourcing package they're working on called Verbs.By Chris Morrell

It's been years since our last Laracon episode. It's good to be backBy Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

Most teams have encountered this basic scenario: Your application sends out a periodic report to a specific person in the company. Then, at some later point, either another team member wants to start receiving a copy of the report, or you need to remove the original recipient and add a new one. With a standard Laravel app, you're probably going to …

Daniel and Caleb talk about how you could like, process audio with like, Laravel collections. Wild.By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

In this episode we indulge in the purest form of Over Engineering—a 90 minute discussion of a completely different application paradigm/architecture. Our team has used event sourcing to some degree, and we're considering using it more heavily in the future. But before we do, we're going to step back and ask ourselves if it's worth it… Some useful l…

In this ep, the fellas compare their respective YouTube algos and Caleb learns why the hell Daniel is so amped about event sourcing. It's a good one.By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

Over Engineered is all about those things that bug you but you never get a chance to "solve." Today's episode is about the dreaded "status" column. This is another topic that most developers will hit over and over. You have a model. You need to track the status. You add a status column, and then later a status timestamp "accepted_at", and then late…

Season 1 continues with a discussion of how to deal with special database records that need to be referenced directly in code. We've all been there before: you've got a specific vendor that you need to write a custom command for, or a certain category that needs special handling, so you either hard-code the ID or slug and shudder slightly before mo…

Daniel started an agency.By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

In the second episode of the podcast we talk with Tim MacDonald about a few other approaches to how you might manage other operations that happen before/during/after a database migration (or really any deploy step). Tim pitches a lower-level approach that spawns a whole new line of thinking. We also touch on some of the responses to episode one, in…

This week we talk about whether to leave eloquent support in Livewire and have some crazy fun brain blasts about PHP attributes and how we can use and abuse them.By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

In the first episode of the podcast we explore the boundary between database migrations and other operations that need to happen when the database is being migrated. How do you seed or manipulate data after new tables or columns have been added? In migrations? In one-off commands that you have to run manually? Running seeders in production? In tink…

This week is jam-stack-packed full of fun meanderings all culminating in a passionate conversation about the virtues of writing. It's a good one.By Daniel Coulbourne & Caleb Porzio

In this episode, we discuss the potential impact of chatgpt, a powerful language processing AI, on the workforce. We also talk about Mastadon, a decentralized social media platform, and the recent news that the popular code editor VS Code has been experiencing some technical issues. Join us as we explore these topics and consider the implications o…
