I'll be presenting tonight at @phpxmel.com on Refactoring to Actions.

We will look at making your code more focused, testable and reusable by using actions, specifically Loris Leiva's Laravel Actions package.

I'll also be paying homage to @adamwathan.com's Refactoring to Collections.

Love it!

That’s impressive Joe, well done! I need to find time to run in amongst work and kids.

Are you training up for an event?

Same here. I actually have never looked at other ways of producing the url.

I dogfood Maintainly for this!

I have time-based automations for which bins are being collected, the bed linens that need changing, when the kitchen and bathroom need cleaning.

I use a tiny amount of the features I’ve actually built for it, but it has given me huge insight into the UI/UX.

Another great episode. Great to see @grogsgamut.bsky.social on the panel, Australians need more of him in their lives.

PHP × NYC | A fresh PHP meetup for NYC area devs A fresh PHP meetup for NYC area devs. Kicking off in 2024

I think we're going to do a little show-and-tell format instead of a talk, RSVP if you think you can make it:

Saloon | Saloon Build beautiful API integrations and SDKs with Saloon

docs.saloon.dev

I used to use the providers sdk but you just end up with a bunch of different ways to do things, or different wrappers.

Now I use saloon, and love it.

Thanks Sam Carré

I’m really loving the t-shirts.

@marcelpociot.bsky.social 👋

Any chance of some MariaDB love in Herd? 🙏

A great write up Marty and an action packed year for you. Happy New Year. All the best for 2025. ❤️

Cancer Bats are sooo good. I also saw them this year in Melbourne. It was the fourth time I’ve seen them. They always put on such a great show, great lads to chat with as well.

Strange to see them pop up in my tech socials!

Rock out Di!! 🤘

You’re killing it Arunabh! I love watching your creations. Keep it up!

I would also suggest trying the database installed on the runners to see if that helps.

[9.x] Add `DatabaseTruncation` trait for testing by patrickomeara · Pull Request #45726 · laravel/framework This is a second attempt at #45630 The DatabaseTruncates trait is a drop in replacement for DatabaseMigrations however it only truncates tables with data instead of dropping and migrating the whole...

Here’s the PR. Hopefully this helps get your dusk tests faster.

Check out the DatabaseTruncates trait. I added it a few years ago and it should speed up your dusk test significantly.

Also, I recommend using octane in your dusk tests. You’ll get a nice bump there as well. The built in server falls over too much and can’t handle parallel requests.

I’m here for this. Which printer did you get?

Great news! Congrats Simon.

At least you know what to do when Jack has trouble sleeping!

Looking forward to it Joel. Keep up the great work.

Doh!

Here it is!

Code showing a much nicer way to make API calls.

A while ago I refactored our #TypeScript SDK so that the method call matches the @laravelphp.bsky.social
route names.

It's a much nicer DX, even the request and response data is typed. I'll write this one up into a blog post at some point.
