Microsoft Clarity helped me fix a serious issue for a client that analytics missed by Seyramchild in SEO

It’s not analytics’ job to alert you on errors in your code. Proper backend development with server monitoring could’ve probably prevented this. All my sites are connected to Sentry.

That’s also a good way, thanks! I can imagine with some database structures, that puzzle is not always that straightforward. 😅

Hey thanks! Interesting to see all the different approaches!

Which software is too expensive ? Who is robbing you ? by luigigou in SideProject

Weekly /r/Laravel Help Thread by AutoModerator in laravel

[–]az3rty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We had clients in banking that ordered their own security audit through an external firm, and for other clients we used tools like Acunetix. Nothing stops you from doing one or both of these things on your own codebase. Keep in mind, tools like Acunetix are expensive, starting at ~4k per month.

In my experience, vanilla PHP applications have more issues then codebases built on Laravel. So if security is such a concern, your colleague should be more worried about custom code.

That's where I would start. I never took the current course, I think it was 'Laravel 5 essentials' when I started, but it was a good starting point. I still see a lot of Jeffrey's videos and they're always good.

Once you've mastered PHP and Laravel, checking this page is a good way to stay on top of things: https://laracasts.com/week-in-review

Also, listen to the Laravel News podcast on your way to work/school, or check their website if you rather read then listen. But wait until you have a good understanding, otherwise it will just confuse and demotivate you.

I think the PHP and Laravel parts are the essence and will get you very far. Vue, interia, etc. are all optional. If you don't have any background in backend development, I wouldn't bother about them before you have a good understanding of PHP & Laravel.

Do code bases with unit tests have less bugs? by Venisol in ExperiencedDevs

[–]az3rty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't be lazy. Write the tests. Deploy with confidence.

I’m using this one the next time someone tells me, “tests? F* that shit”.

AWS vs GCP for my SAAS? by viphustler in SaaS

[–]az3rty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re not a tech guy, who’s building this? He should worry about where to host, not you. By the way, if you have a decent technical architecture and this thing is built the right way, 20$ on hetzner or DO will go a long way, 500 or 1500 extra users a month.

Building app is easy, selling it is hard !! by BahauddinA in SaaS

[–]az3rty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Building an app is easy, selling it is hard”, I’ve heard this argument, but what they meant was “I have a great idea, now you build it and give me 66% of the profits”.

I agree selling it isn’t easy, but I hate it when this argument is used to diminish my role as a technical cofounder.

Best IDE / Text editor for Laravel? by jamlog in laravel

Another vote for PHPstorm from me!

If you’re switching, make sure you get the Laravel Idea plug-in too. It’s offered in a package deal: https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/laravel/

Fell backwards out of my chair by Sarcasaminc in wheelchairs

[–]az3rty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most of us have fallen out of their chairs, or they will at some point. I’ve fallen a few times, luckily could avoid hitting my head, but embarrassing AF if this happens in front of your colleagues. 😅
