Podcasts about Laravel

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

What do you do when you need to create some data but you haven't built out the UI for that data yet? A seeder is a great approach, but is it always the right one? In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we dive into a real project where starting with the most complex feature made test data management painful. Instead of exploding the complexity of our seeders, we built a minimal UI to manage test data. We also talk about some other unexpected benefits, and talk through the trade-offs and why detours like this should feel uncomfortable (and be tightly scoped).(00:00) - Starting deep exposes messy user permutations (02:45) - Seeder explosion vs. a minimal UI (03:45) - Reframing the “detour” after using it (05:30) - Why the mini-UI helped: faster iteration, fewer seed resets (07:45) - Dogfooding + tester debugging benefits (08:00) - Guardrails: detours should feel uneasy and stay tight (09:00) - Silly bit Need help on your Laravel project?
