Yep, agreed!

Of course, these are just the fundamentals, and with Laravel, there's way more you can do to multiply your power level, such as the scheduling of periodic tasks (e.g. statistics calculations/updates) that you can store/keep warm in the cache, but the opportunities are endless! 👍

Now, technically there is one other benefit to queueing; Imagine spills your coffee mid-prep. ☕

- ✅ With a queue: They’ve got your order ticket and just start over.
- ❌ Without a queue: You awkwardly re-explain your triple-shot, half-decaf, oat milk latte.

For example, imagine you're ordering a coffee at a busy cafe:

- ✅ With queues, you'd get a buzzer and can sit down and relax until your coffee is ready
- ❌ Without queues, you're awkwardly standing at the counter until it's ready

In both cases, the barista' work just as hard

In most cases, I'd recommend #2 even if you need a response right now.

Why? It's simple; For the most part, "right now" is a concept that mostly applies to humans, less so to computers.

While "queueing" sounds slow and negative (nobody likes queues), they're definitely not.

You might ask; but what about things that need a response _right now_? And to that I'd say you have two approaches:

1. Lie about it succeeding (e.g. "an email has been sent")
2. Add a "processing" state, and use polling/websockets to get an update the second something's done.

Examples of things you'd queue:

- ✅ Sending an email
- ✅ Calling a third-party API to send/fetch data
- ✅ Resizing an uploaded image
- ✅ Processing a payment or order
- ✅ Handling an incoming webhook

My advice to any web-developer; Treat your incoming requests like hot potatoes🥔🔥

Validate the input, store it in the database, dispatch a queue job if needed, and let the user know everything's great _immediately_.

Processing any logic is the queue worker's problem 😏

Yeah, I think the PHP 8.0 Attributes are a syntaxical crime against developers.

It's like that one ex I regret but can't seem to escape.

PHP 8.4 was just released ✨

✅ Property hooks - pure magic!
✅ Parentheses-free `new MyClass()->method()` -finally!
⚠️ Asymmetric `public private(set)` - a feature and a vibe
❌ `[\#Deprecated]` - Ironic. Should've `@Deprecated` it's own syntax instead

But hey, 2.5/4, not bad!

Phew, at least it ain’t me this time

Of course! 👋

I've just released version v1.4.0 of my Word Generator package. ✨

- ✅ You can now generate more complex words (uses multiple adjectives)
- ✅ It now ships with 3x the amount of adjectives & nouns by default!

Ok Laravel folks, it's time to increase your bcrypt rounds because 10 is no longer considered secure enough.
