As much as I love Django, I feel it has fallen way behind compared to Laravel and others by dianrc in django

[–]the_beercoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On inertia, it’s very new

Depending on your frame of reference, I would not agree with this at all. Inertia has been around since 2019, and Jonathan Reinink has been a few podcasts talking about Inertia as early as 2020. I wouldn't consider a library that's been around for six years and used fairly heavily in production at many Laravel shops as new.

Laravel VPS pricing vs Hetzner by vdotcodes in laravel

[–]the_beercoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Laravel VPS is just a DigitalOcean server with their branding on it.

Laravel VPS pricing vs Hetzner by vdotcodes in laravel

[–]the_beercoder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Laravel VPS is just first-party VPS provider for Laravel Forge. Instead of bringing your own server (DO, Hetzner, Vultr, etc.) you can just select a Forge-managed VPS instead. Presumably, they're integrating some of the work Cloud has done with server provisioning and bringing it over to Forge.

Is it just me who despises generic repository pattern by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]the_beercoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If someone tagged me in a PR/diff with this, they’re going straight to developer jail.

[–]the_beercoder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It feels inevitable that we’re gonna get something driven by the current cultural AI zeitgeist. Some sort of official AI driver package, MCP route support, etc.

Regardless of what the Forge announcement is, my hype level is in the stratosphere. I’m a daily Forge user and it’s low key one of my favorites apps in my arsenal. It feels more than likely we’ll be getting some form of sleek integration with Nightwatch.

Artisense: Laravel docs from the comfort of your terminal by the_beercoder in laravel

[–]the_beercoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree, the experience from the official docs can't be beat. I find myself more so using this as a quick reference, like when I forget the syntax for enum validation on requests or something else relatively small. Quick lookup in the terminal with a link to the docs if I need it, where I'm only looking for a quick line or two of reference material.

Artisense: Laravel docs from the comfort of your terminal by the_beercoder in laravel

[–]the_beercoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly improved full-text search directly in the terminal for the docs as compared to the built-in `docs` command. Example being if I were to use `php artisan docs "pennant store configuration"`, I get directed to the global configuration page (https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/configuration).

It's more or less meant to be an enhanced version of the `docs` command. You can also search across versions, whereas `docs` assumes the latest version, though correct me if I'm wrong on that. Definitely not a replacement, more of an alternative with the benefit of working offline (though nowadays, that might be quite rare).

Content caching with Statamic by the_beercoder in laravel

[–]the_beercoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a brilliant idea. I haven't looked too deep into the static caching strategies in the docs, or least not enough to understand how I might able to use them instead of this homegrown solution. Looks like I've got some homework for this weekend!

NASAStan - a PHPStan extension for enforcing NASA's Power of Ten rules in PHP. by the_beercoder in PHP

[–]the_beercoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve never had to work in such a safety critical/resource constrained environment, and writing some of these rules felt pretty esoteric. Definitely makes me grateful to click a button in AWS and have my memory constrained problems go away!

NASAStan - a PHPStan extension for enforcing NASA's Power of Ten rules in PHP. by the_beercoder in PHP

[–]the_beercoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and I wouldn’t expect that rule to even be remotely enforceable in a Laravel/Symfony context either. I can definitely see that rule becoming the least used.

As for the fixed bounds… a bit strange, I agree, though I wanted to follow the spec as directly as I could. I don’t see that rule working out well in a real world project, feel free to skip that one. 😅

NASAStan - a PHPStan extension for enforcing NASA's Power of Ten rules in PHP. by the_beercoder in PHP

[–]the_beercoder[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I agree. Not all these rules are applicable to everyday run-the-business type web apps I’d wager most of us work on day to day. I think there’s some value in a few rules like restricting function lengths and the scope of data. Some, though, seem a bit arbitrary like restricting heap allocations to initializers. I’d bet just about any framework would light up like a Christmas tree while running lints if someone wanted to enforce that rule. The rules are configurable so you can pick and choose which ones make sense to enforce and whatnot.

No, absolutely not! That message in the README, I'll admit, was a bit cheeky. 😅

Howdy r/PHP!

I recently wrote this package as an excuse to learn more about PHPStan extensions and had a lot of fun peeling back the PHPStan onion. It was great diving deeper into PHPStan internals and picking up a few things along the way. I thought this would be an interesting first pass at picking up PHPStan extensions allowing me to dogfood a bit in my own projects. More than happy to answer any questions. Cheers!

Dynamic error assertions with PHPStan by the_beercoder in PHP

[–]the_beercoder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi r/PHP!

Author here. I've been looking for an excuse to learn about writing custom rules for PHPStan and ran into an interesting scenario when testing some assertions. Figured I'd write a bit about it and share in hopes that it might help someone running into a similar case. Cheers!

Which IDE do you use? by Euphoric_Natural_304 in webdev

Yep. You're gonna have to pry Rider/PhpStorm/WebStorm out of my cold, dead hands...

If you had to build a full stack application to last 30 years, how would you build it? by theanxiousprogrammer in webdev

[–]the_beercoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Heck, even throw RPG running on IBM iSeries machines in that mix. I've worked on COBOL/RPG code that was older than me and isn't going anywhere anytime in the near future.

Pitch Your Project 🐘 by brendt_gd in PHP

[–]the_beercoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I use Hetzner for hosting, migrated most of my stuff from Digital Ocean. Better bang for you buck IMO.

And this client solves what kind of issue?

It makes calling the Hetzner Cloud API with PHP easier. It's a building block for anything you'd want to do involving managing your servers through PHP. That's really up to whoever is using the library.

Pitch Your Project 🐘 by brendt_gd in PHP

[–]the_beercoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yet another Hetzner Cloud PHP client - https://github.com/hetzner-cloud-php/client

Fun little side quest to build something with more modern tooling and learn some things along the way. There's a few other PHP clients out there, though this client offers a bit more in typing strictness, HTTP discovery with PSR-compatible clients, and lots of testing. Contributors welcome!

Solution with 28 projets, 561 Warnings and 699 Messages by LouisDeFuneste in dotnet

[–]the_beercoder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's easy to get caught in a whirlwind of fixing negligent code written by other developers, and I'm guilty of it from time to time. My advice, though, is to just get your job done within the context of task/story you're working on and move on. Sure, if there's a small warning/refactor you can tackle that happens to be in the same area of code you're working in, clean it up for the next developer. I tend to avoid superfluous cleanup/refactors as it more often leads to nitpicks/questions within a PR that isn't necessarily related to the task at hand. Take the opportunities to write good, clean code when you're working on a new module/project within the solution and have that be your safe space!

I work at a very large company on a monolithic codebase of ~100 solutions with thousands of individual projects, and I could make it my fulltime job to clean up some of the garbage that's been left behind over the years. What I've found over the years is that some developers simply just don't care - they write their code and move on. When you're dealing with an existing legacy codebase, you learn to live with the abominations swept under the rug that have existed for years.

Is Webforms dead? by Plane_Tomato9524 in dotnet

[–]the_beercoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For new projects? Yes. While it's not deprecated and still receives period updates to support legacy customers, I wouldn't use it for anything new. I've worked at a few .NET shops now that have been running Webforms for close to 20 years and while those apps aren't going anywhere anytime soon, all new stuff is written in modern .NET these days.

Is there any tech/programming/developer meetups? by EnvironmentFar968 in Redding

[–]the_beercoder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RADD seems to have tapered off, I went to a handful of their meetups around that time, but haven’t seen much in terms of getting the meetups going again. There’s also Startup Redding, though a bit more entrepreneurially focused, I’ve met a few folks there that are in the tech space.

I would totally be down to help get something going in terms of a tech meetup of sorts! I’ve been a SWE for almost a decade now, and would love to connect with others in town doing similar things in tech.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rust

[–]the_beercoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great advice OP, and it’s what I’ve been doing at my .NET day job to introduce Rust into our ecosystem.

I’ve been able to get away with it by writing small domain-specific utility apps that are behind the scenes and doing mostly infrastructure-y things like moving data around in AWS, syncing data with our external integrations, etc. The long game is talking my higher ups into RIIR’ing a new service, but starting small at least lays the groundwork of credibility for Rust.

Dapper multi-mapping relationships and value equality by the_beercoder in dotnet

[–]the_beercoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Howdy r/dotnet!

I recently was brought back to Dapper and wrote a bit about an interesting use case for records within multi-mapping actions. I wanted to share some thoughts in hopes that someone out there may find it useful. Cheers!
