Multiple times we have encountered the messy reality of rebuilding a decade-old system: stale specs, missing specs, and stakeholders who want "the same… but better." In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we share a lightweight framework for agreeing on an MVP, tagging "post-MVP" ideas, and negotiating trade-offs while still making progress.We walk through practical tactics for parallelizing work and learning as you go.(00:00) - Rebuilding an old system without copying its flaws (02:00) - Two extremes: too many specs or none at all (03:00) - MVP tension: ship value vs. future wishes (04:45) - Define MVP, capture unknowns as post-MVP tickets (05:30) - Build the first slice and learn (07:00) - Code foundations while refining scope (08:30) - Trade-offs as collaboration, not confrontation (09:30) - Takeaway: progress, check-ins, iterate together (10:00) - Silly bit Want to join one of our community dev calls?

Sometimes you have files or other large chunks of data that you need to associate with a record in your database. It might be convenient to just store that as base64-encoded data or HTML in a "longtext" column, but that can eventually cause issues—especially as the table grows. What other options are there?In this episode of Over Engineered, we go back to the show's roots and try to find the absolute best solution to a problem we already have an acceptable solution for.

We join a fair number of projects, and we often help teams bring their project up to our standard. This means bringing a lot of the same small pieces from project to project.In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we rethink our “project standard” repo. Instead of a full Laravel skeleton, we propose a composable library of tool-specific, versioned configs (PHPUnit, Docker, etc.). We walk through the benefits for greenfield and legacy work, open questions about test organization, and how this approach scales as tools evolve.(00:00) - Why we keep our tooling current (00:15) - The “project standard” repo is aging (01:30) - Reference guide vs installable skeleton (02:30) - Supporting old and new stacks (versions, tags) (03:30) - Pivot: organize by tool and version, not app (04:30) - Example plan: folders for PHPUnit 11/12 (and beyond) (05:15) - What belongs where? Tests, traits, and context (10:00) - Docker-first thinking; where Horizon config lives (11:15) - Open questions: PHPUnit vs Pest vs “testing” folder (12:15) - Takeaway: evolve the repo as the tools evolve (12:45) - Silly bit Want help making your project as organized as one of our projects?

DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) aren't mentioned anywhere in the Laravel docs, but some devs use them heavily in their applications, whereas other devs never use them at all.In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we weigh the pros and cons of DTOs in everyday Laravel apps, comparing them to form requests, PHPDoc-typed arrays, and service-layer boundaries, and share one area where DTOs truly shine. The takeaway: keep DTOs in the toolbox, but reach for them intentionally, not by habit.(00:00) - Framing DTOs in a stricter PHP world (01:15) - Our current practice: hybrids, few true DTOs (02:45) - Form requests, `safe()`, and typed inputs (03:45) - Reuse across API and form layers rarely aligns (04:30) - Where DTOs shine: normalizing multiple APIs (05:45) - Service boundaries: wrapping vendor objects (e.g., Stripe) (06:15) - PHPDoc-typed arrays vs DTO overhead (06:45) - Conventions, Larastan levels, and avoiding ceremony (07:45) - Treat DTOs as a tool, not a rule (09:15) - Silly bit Want to discuss how we can help you with an architecture review?

Jake and Michael dive into a wide range of topics, from coding practices in Laravel to the evolving role of AI in software development. They kick things off with daylight savings and weekend updates before moving into technical discussions on authorization, policies, and form requests in Laravel.The conversation expands to cover recent changes in middleware and controller patterns, contextual attributes in the service container, and practical approaches to request validation.Later, the focus shifts toward AI tools like Claude, Grok, and Cursor, including their strengths, frustrations, and industry-wide adoption pressures. We reflect on the uneasy balance between developer control and AI assistance, wrapping up with thoughts on productivity, value, and what it means to let machines write code.Show linksLawn HubArcade 1UpRetroPieMortal Kombat cabinetNuno's authorization on form requestsContextual AttributesGrok Code Fast 1
