Episode Highlights[00:00:48] What Makes Software MaintainableDon explains why unnecessary complexity is the biggest barrier to maintainability, drawing on themes from A Philosophy of Software Design.[00:03:14] The Cost of Clever AbstractionsA real story from a Node.js API shows how an unused abstraction layer around MongoDB made everything harder without delivering value.[00:04:00] Shaping Teams and Developer ToolsDon describes the structure of the Search Craft engineering team and how the product grew out of recurring pain points in client projects.[00:06:36] Reducing Complexity Through SDK and Infra DesignWhy Search Craft intentionally limits configuration to keep setup fast and predictable.[00:08:33] Lessons From ConsultingRobby and Don compare consulting and product work, including how each environment shapes developers differently.[00:15:34] Inherited Software and Abandoned DependenciesDon shares the problems that crop up when community packages fall behind—especially in ecosystems like React Native.[00:18:00] Evaluating Third-Party LibrariesSignals Don looks for before adopting a dependency: adoption, update cadence, issue activity, and whether the library is “done.”[00:19:40] Designing Code That Remains UnderstandableWhy clear project structure and idiomatic naming matter more than cleverness.[00:20:29] RFCs as a Cultural AnchorHow Don's team uses RFCs to align on significant changes and avoid decision churn.[00:23:00] Documentation That Adds ContextDocumentation should explain why, not echo code. Don walks through how his team approaches this.[00:24:11] Type Systems and MaintainabilityHow Don's journey from PHP and JavaScript to TypeScript and Rust changed his approach to structure and communication.[00:27:05] Testing With TypesStable type contracts make tests cleaner and less ambiguous.[00:27:45] Building Trust in AI SystemsDon discusses repeatability, hallucinations, and why tools like MCP matter for grounding LLM behavior.[00:29:28] AI in Developer ToolsSearch Craft's MCP server lets developers talk to the platform conversationally instead of hunting through docs.[00:33:21] Improving Legacy Systems SlowlyThe Strangler pattern as a practical way to replace old systems one endpoint at a time.[00:34:11] Deep Work and Reducing Reactive NoiseDon encourages developers to carve out time for uninterrupted thinking rather than bouncing between notifications.[00:36:09] Measuring ProgressBuild times, test speeds, and coverage provide signals teams can use to track actual improvement.[00:38:24] Changing Opinions Over a CareerWhy Don eventually embraced TypeScript after originally writing it off.[00:39:15] Industry Trends and Repeating CyclesSPAs, server rendering, and the familiar pendulum swing in web architecture.[00:41:26] Experimentation and Team AutonomyHow POCs and side projects surface organically within Don's team.[00:44:42] Growing Skills Through Intentional GoalsSetting learning targets in 1:1s to support long-term developer growth.[00:47:19] Where to Find DonLinkedIn, Blue Sky, and his site: donmckinnon.dev.Resources MentionedA Philosophy of Software Design by John OusterhoutJohn Ousterhout's Maintainable.fm Interview (Episode 131)Search CraftElasticAlgoliaWordPress Plugin DirectoryRequest for Comments (RFC)Strangler Fig PatternC2 WikiModel Context Protocol (MCP)Glam AIAubrey/Maturin Series by Patrick O'BrianMaster and Commanderdonmckinnon.devThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!

In this episode of the Business of Laravel podcast, Matt Stauffer chats with Joe Rucci, founder of Ghostable and co-founder of Curricula, about his path through entrepreneurship and the role Laravel played along the way. Joe talks candidly about building and selling a startup, what it was like to shift from founder to employee after an acquisition, and why so many great business ideas come from simply listening to people. He also breaks down how he built Ghostable, his zero-knowledge security platform, and how AI has helped him ship faster as a solo developer. Matt Stauffer on Twitter Tighten Website GhostableHuntressCurricula-----Editing and transcription sponsored by Tighten.

It's easy to overcomplicate data modeling, especially when enums, relationships, and future requirements are in play.    In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, Joel brings Aaron a real-world technical dilemma: how to model a relationship between two models when types are stored as enums, not models.    We discuss the pros and cons of pivot tables versus JSON columns, the importance of context before jumping to solutions, and how developer instincts can sometimes get in the way of clarity.(00:00) - Setting up the technical problem (02:00) - Pivot tables vs JSON columns (05:15) - Filtering and validation considerations (07:15) - Deciding on the best approach (09:50) - Silly bit Would you like us to review your code or application architecture?

Wendell joins the show with a literal fire background (the “this is fine” meme), which he admits he can’t use anymore because of company backgrounds. But it’s an accurate representation of daily developer life, and we can all relate. Teaching PHP Six Months After Learning It At 16 years old, working in a small-town Brazilian school teaching Word and Excel, Wendell took a PHP course. Five or six months later, the teacher left and they asked Wendell to take over—teaching PHP to 13 and 14-year-olds when he was barely older himself. Students would ask questions he didn’t know the answer to, forcing him to say “give me a minute” while frantically searching the documentation. But that pressure? It taught him the most valuable developer skill: knowing how to find answers to things you don’t know. No Computer at Home Here’s the kicker: Wendell didn’t even have a computer at home during all this. He could only use the computers at work, so he’d finish lunch in 15 minutes just to get back to his desk and keep learning PHP. The obsession was real, and it paid off. PHP Documentation: The Unsung Hero Everyone agrees—PHP’s documentation is insanely good. You can find almost anything without even hitting Stack Overflow. Comments from 15-20 years ago still work today because PHP maintains backwards compatibility like no other language. Those old comments aren’t just relics; they’re still valid, working code that new developers can learn from. Try that in JavaScript land. Rector: The Migration Miracle Moving legacy code to modern PHP used to be a nightmare. Now? Install Rector and watch it automatically migrate your codebase to use new features. Wendell highlights this as one of PHP’s secret weapons—the community builds tools that make everyone’s life easier. When AI Becomes Part of Your Workflow some literally can’t work without Claude, Cursor, and PHPStorm anymore. Not because he needs AI for everything, but because the anxiety of “what if I need to ask something?” kicks in if it’s not there. It’s wild how quickly we adapt to new tools—especially considering 25 years ago we barely had IDEs. We had Notepad. If we were lucky. The Imposter Syndrome Reality Check Everyone Googles stuff. Every. Single. Person. It doesn’t matter how experienced you are or how many packages you’ve written—at some point, you’re searching for answers. The skill isn’t memorizing everything; it’s knowing where to look and how to find the right answer. Mike and Chris both admit they struggle with imposter syndrome constantly. You’re not alone. PHP Can Do Everything Now CLI apps? Easy. Web apps? Obviously. Desktop applications? Yep. Mobile applications with PHP? Absolutely—and Wendell admits he never thought that would be possible. With AI advancements and tools like the new official MCP SDK for PHP, the possibilities keep expanding. JavaScript might get there first, but PHP always catches up. New Security Challenges: Prompt Injection Frameworks already protect us from SQL injection and script injection. But now with MCP (Model Context Protocol) and AI integration, we have a new threat: prompt injection. How will PHP frameworks adapt? How do we secure AI-powered applications? These are the new challenges keeping the community on its toes. Teaser: Laravel Service Container Deep Dive Wendell drops a teaser—he’s publishing his longest blog post yet about how Laravel’s service container works. By the time this episode goes live, it’ll probably already be out. Worth the read. Listen to hear why the PHP community attracts experts from other languages, and why everyone keeps confusing their show schedule with the video game Fortnite.

Neste Kubicast, recebemos o Chico (Francisco Rodrigues) e o França, da Qive, para um papo técnico e divertido sobre como instrumentamos uma aplicação legada em PHP com OpenTelemetry e destravamos visibilidade de ponta a ponta. Contamos como foi a descoberta, o desenho da arquitetura e as primeiras vitórias: da auto‑instrumentação às correções cirúrgicas que derrubaram a latência no p95 e eliminaram instabilidades intermitentes.Falamos de decisões práticas: por que escolher OpenTelemetry em um monólito Zend antigo, como alinhar a coleta com o ecossistema Grafana (Tempo, Loki, dashboards, alertas) e qual o impacto real em consumo de CPU/memória versus os ganhos na operação. Também abrimos o jogo sobre trade‑offs de transporte (gRPC/Protobuf), overhead na request e como padronizamos spans para tornar o tracing “quase APM”, mas com stack aberta.De quebra, exploramos experiência do time (SRE e Eng. de Software) para acelerar adoção, self‑service e developer experience. Se você quer entender auto‑instrumentação em PHP, custos/benefícios, stack de observabilidade com Grafana e boas práticas de tracing distribuído, este episódio é para você.Links Importantes: - Marcelo França - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marceloluizfranca - Francisco Rodrigues - https://www.linkedin.com/in/fcoedno - Artigo inspirador - https://medium.com/engenharia-arquivei/instrumente-sua-aplica%C3%A7%C3%A3o-php-com-opentelemetry-cb3460a64d04 - Conheça a Qive - https://qive.com.br/institucional/ - Opentelemetry PHP - https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/php/ - João Brito - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juniorjbn/O Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

In this episode of the Business of Laravel podcast, Matt Stauffer talks with Adrien Lewis, Founder of CarePortal, and Bret Pudenz, Director of Engineering, about how their Laravel-powered “care sharing” platform connects caseworkers, churches, businesses, and neighbors to support vulnerable kids and families—often preventing foster care placements.They share how CarePortal's tech evolved, why they chose Laravel, and how they onboard developers with no Laravel background. Matt also explores how founders and engineers can find purpose in their work and how technology, when used well, can actually rebuild human connection.Matt Stauffer on Twitter Tighten Website CarePortal on Instagram CarePortal on FacebookCarePortal on LinkedIn CarePortal on YouTubeAdrien Lewis on LinkedInCarePortal WebsiteHow CarePortal WorksMended Futures Podcast with AdrienRethinking Foster Care in America-----Editing and transcription sponsored by Tighten.

Girlfriend, maybe you've been struggling with disordered eating for decades and you don't want to put your life on hold to go into a full-blown treatment facility. Maybe you have kids at home, aging parents to care for, or a career you can't walk away from. Or maybe you don't even know what options are available, so you just stay stuck thinking you'll manage it all by yourself. Girl, you weren't meant to do this alone. In this episode, host Lindsey Nichol breaks down the 6 different levels of eating disorder treatment and care - from outpatient support to acute medical stabilization - so you can understand what's available and what might be best for YOUR unique situation and life circumstances. Lindsey shares her own treatment journey through IOP and day treatment, and why finding the right level of care that fits your life is so important. Whether you're a busy mom, working woman, caregiver, or someone who simply can't leave home for residential treatment, this episode will help you understand all your options - including recovery coaching as a personalized support option. You deserve a life free from the chains of disordered eating. And it starts with knowing what treatment options are out there. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The 6 Levels of Eating Disorder Treatment: Level 1: Outpatient Care What it is: Weekly sessions with a care team while living at home Who it's for: Those deemed medically stable who need ongoing support What's included: Dietitian, therapist, medical doctor, support groups Best for: Maintaining school, work, family life while getting treatment Level 2: Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) What it is: Multiple sessions per week in specialized settings Where it happens: Treatment centers or hospitals What's included: Group therapy, individual therapy, structured programming Lindsey's experience: This is where she spent the majority of her recovery Level 3: Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) / Day Treatment What it is: 5-6 days per week, 6-8 hours per day Structure: More intensive than outpatient, includes meals and therapies What happens: You return home in the evenings Lindsey's experience: Combined with IOP while in school - included therapies and support groups Level 4: Residential Treatment What it is: 24-hour care and supervision (inpatient experience) Who it's for: Those medically stable but requiring intensive support Where it happens: Medical hospitals, centers, or homelike facilities Structure: Full-time structured environment with comprehensive care Level 5: Inpatient Hospitalization What it is: Most appropriate for high-intensity medical/psychiatric needs Structure: 24-hour medical psychiatric facility Who it's for: Those not responding to other treatments, experiencing self-harm, severe depression, or needing intensive medical oversight Level 6: Acute Medical Stabilization What it is: The highest level of critical care for eating disorders Who it's for: Those medically unstable due to severity or medical complications Primary focus: Physical stabilization before moving to other treatment levels Plus: Recovery Coaching as a Treatment Option What it is: One-on-one virtual support for guided accountability and actionable recovery steps Who it's for: Those who can't or won't go into residential but need support How it works: Weekly sessions focused on action, not diagnosis Can be layered: Works alongside therapy, dietitian, and medical care Key Takeaways: ✨ Treatment is personalized - what works for someone else may not work for you, and that's okay ✨ You don't have to choose residential - there are multiple levels of care that allow you to stay home ✨ Recovery is NOT black and white - you can get support at various levels based on your life circumstances ✨ You weren't meant to do this alone - even if you can't go to residential, you need SOME level of support ✨ Everyone's recovery is their own - your journey is unique and valid regardless of which level of care you choose ✨ Recovery coaching is a valid option - especially when layered with other care team members ✨ You owe you, sister - putting yourself first isn't selfish, it's necessary ✨ More options exist now - compared to years ago, there are so many more treatment options available Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "You deserve a life that's free from the chains of disordered eating" "Maybe you don't even know what options are available for you, so you just stay here thinking you're gonna manage it all by yourself" "Everyone's recovery is your recovery. Your journey is your journey" "What's best for you might not be best for me. What worked for me might not work for someone else" "You weren't meant to do life alone. You definitely weren't meant to do the hard things alone" "You owe you, sister" "It's not black and white. There's so many other options" "What matters is that you're standing up for you" "You are worth it. You deserve it" "Everyone else in your life is gonna benefit when you can start putting you first" Important Information About Each Treatment Level: When to Consider Outpatient: You're medically stable You can maintain work/school/family responsibilities You need ongoing support and accountability You're in maintenance or relapse prevention phase When to Consider IOP: You need more structure than weekly appointments You can still live at home You benefit from group support You need multiple therapy modalities When to Consider PHP/Day Treatment: You need daily structure but can return home at night You require meal support You need more intensive care than IOP You're transitioning from residential or preventing residential When to Consider Residential: You need 24-hour support but are medically stable Your home environment isn't supportive of recovery You need complete immersion in treatment Outpatient options haven't been effective When to Consider Inpatient: You're experiencing severe symptoms There's self-harm or suicidal ideation You need medical and psychiatric oversight You require the highest level of structure When to Consider Recovery Coaching: You can't or won't do residential treatment You have kids, aging parents, or career obligations You want actionable support, not diagnosis You're looking for relapse prevention You want to layer support with existing care team What Makes Recovery Coaching Different: Not therapy: Coaches don't diagnose or address trauma - they focus on forward action Accountability structure: Weekly sessions keep you committed to your recovery goals Actionable support: Focused on practical steps like facing fear foods, getting off the scale, eating out with family Virtual and flexible: Fits into busy lives with kids, work, caregiving responsibilities Layered care: Works alongside dietitians, therapists, and medical professionals Relapse prevention: Helps maintain recovery after intensive treatment Questions to Ask When Choosing Treatment: What level of medical stability am I at currently? What are my life circumstances? (Kids, work, caregiving, school) Can I leave home for treatment, or do I need to stay local? What treatment options are available in my area? What does my insurance cover? Do I need 24-hour support or can I manage with weekly sessions? Am I willing to commit to doing the work required at each level? What has or hasn't worked for me in the past? Do I have a support system at home? What does my healthcare team recommend? Action Steps After This Episode: Assess where you are: Are you medically stable? What symptoms are you experiencing? Talk to a healthcare professional: Schedule appointments with your doctor to discuss which level of care is appropriate Research local options: Google treatment centers, IOP programs, PHP programs in your area Consider online options: Virtual recovery coaching, online support groups, telehealth therapy Build your care team: Even if you can't do residential, assemble support (dietitian, therapist, coach, doctor) Stop doing this alone: Commit to getting SOME level of support starting today Reach out: If recovery coaching interests you, visit lindseynickel.com to learn more Who This Episode Is For: This episode is essential listening if you: Don't know what eating disorder treatment options exist Think residential is your only option (and you can't do it) Have been doing this alone and need to know what help is available Are a busy mom, working woman, or caregiver who can't leave home Have been in treatment before and need to know what's next Are researching options for a loved one struggling with disordered eating Want to understand the difference between IOP, PHP, and residential Need permission to choose the treatment level that fits YOUR life Are looking for alternatives to inpatient treatment Want to layer recovery coaching with your existing care team Resources Mentioned: National Alliance for Eating Disorders: Information on treatment levels and resources National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA): Comprehensive treatment information and support Recovery Coaching with Lindsey: One-on-one virtual support, weekly sessions, actionable recovery tools Her Best Self Facebook Community: Support group for women in recovery Important Reminder: Lindsey is NOT a medical professional.

Let's be honest: the decision to go into a treatment program can feel terrifying. You're juggling work, kids, a million invisible tasks—and the idea of raising your hand and stepping away (even briefly) can feel impossible. What if people judge you? What if your boss notices? What if your partner uses it against you? What if the moms at the bus stop whisper? Here's the truth I wish someone had told me: the fear of getting help is almost always louder than the reality of it. I was much more worried about what people might think if I stopped drinking than I ever was about showing up hungover on a Tuesday. (Make it make sense, right?) To pull back the curtain and demystify treatment, I sat down with Jana Wu, Director of Clinical Integration at Mountainside Treatment Center and a mom in recovery who's helped women navigate every pathway: detox, inpatient, PHP, IOP, outpatient, medication—without shame and without blowing up their lives.  I asked Jana to share how to choose the right level of care, what modern programs actually look like, and how families can support—not sabotage—your healing.
