How much has your process for “writing code” changed in the last 12 months?

Phparser A modern PHP playground for testing and running PHP code online. Execute PHP scripts in a secure environment with syntax highlighting and real-time feedback.

I’ve been seriously thinking about switching phparser.com over to #WASM, purely on the basis that I know NOTHING about it.

Spinning up docker containers in job classes and then feeding back to the front end using #Laravel Reverb has been way more performant than expected.

I’ll be in London from around 4pm tomorrow for Laravel Live UK if anyone wants to hang out?

I’ve been quiet on here, mostly been tinkering with Arduino and 3D printing to make sim racing gadgets like this.

I did not know you were dealing with lymphoma, this is very sad to hear, sending my absolute best wishes John.

I think my all time favourite of recent is Arr::sole(), probably have to be British to appreciate that though (maybe).

You didn't factor in the fact that you can turn the t-shirt inside out and have a new one for another 10-12 days.

I'm not sure, but I think I have an early winner for "UUID of the year"

Let me know if you've seen anything better? has to be from 2025 though as we crowned 38db57db-8243-4129-bdec-56017397b62b the winner of 2024

Code snippet of how to use Shale package for Laravel

Code snippet of how to use Shale package for Laravel

Pretty happy with the first pass of Shale, just need to build on the AWS Bedrock concepts a little more, however adding additional models is really easy now.

Started working on a Laravel package last night to interact with AWS Bedrock (AI with loads of models to choose from) in the usual Laravel way.

Just to add, when you pick one, let me know, I can point you to a tonne of great learning resources for both. (paid and free)

The Rust Programming Language - The Rust Programming Language by Steve Klabnik, Carol Nichols, and Chris Krycho, with contributions from the Rust Community

the best book I have read, and best of all FREE.

For pure fun, I loved Rust, but honestly I don't think there is a "Wrong" decision here.

That's just the "Go way" of doing things, for me, Go is great for little http handlers and API stuff, but for me personally, not full scale web apps (subjective).

Rust on the other hand, seems to have a lot less opportunities but is just a shit tonne of fun to learn, "The rust book" is probably

However, I see people building full web apps in Go which I just wouldn't do myself since Laravel is so easy and clean.

In go you'll find yourself writing this sort of thing a LOT.

f, err := os.Open("filename.txt")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}

At first this feels really icky, however

As shit as this sounds, "it depends"

If I were wanting to do something useful in my current situation that could complement what I already know then I would say Go.

Go has a lot of http integration by default, and is really nice out of the box, plus there are a lot more opportunities for it.

I learnt both, and both are very fun, I preferred rust I think, the borrow checker is a very different concept but quite simple after using it for a while.

That being said, I found generics in go a lot of fun too 😂
