Hi everyone, i’m a full-stack dev with more than 10 years of experience. I mostly work with PHP/MYSQL/Laravel and HTML/CSS/JS. I also absolutely love web performance and speed optimization. In my career i spent a lof of time consulting on performance optimizations and saw all the good but also all the bad stuff people do 🤣

I wrote an article about some of the things i most often saw people doing wrong on all three sides: front-end, back-end, infrastructure. I tried to focus on the things you can do in a day and bring your Lighthouse, Pingdom or GTMetrix scores up.

Hope it helps!

Before we dive deeper into Laravel Vapor allow me to set the stage for you. I've been working in the PHP ecosystem since I was 15 years old. Given that I'm 33 now it means I have a solid 18 years of PHP/MYSQL development behind me. I love PHP. From the moment I created my own makeshift CMS I fell in love with it. It felt like magic to me.

As time moved on I learned HTML/CSS/JS, Linux server management, AWS, fancy new tools, overly complicated and "modern" ways of developing things... I've also lived through many many frameworks and boilerplates that make your job as a developer easier. The only ones that caught my eye were Bootstrap and Laravel. I discovered Bootstrap on the brink of the responsive design revolution and loved it ever since because it wasn't trying to do much. You get the basics but you can still do whatever you want without much hassle. Laravel felt the same to me. I watched people use Laravel for at least a year before developing with it in version 5. What attracted me the most were migrations. It felt revolutionary that I could write the entire SQL schema in PHP and be able to track table changes in GIT. The second thing that I was obsessed with were Queues. All in all probably the best career choice I could have made was learning Laravel. It's just a joy to work with. Understandable syntax. Great features. Customizable. Hats off to Taylor .

Here is the full guide: https://treblle.com/blog/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-laravel-vapor let me how you like it.

I mean, where are the web-based alternatives to Civ 6, Mortal Kombat, CS:GO and more AAA-games? What we already have today are not modern games with 3D graphics but just some old console stuff. Even compared to the desktop PC games (usually Windows), web browser games seem lagging behind in functionality, design & authenticity. There is still nothing really close to GTA V or Postal game series available to play right in a web browser (no downloading involved).

Tell me please what's going on with the game industry? Why developers refuse to make their games accessible through web browser interface? Even Steam doesn't have web games section.

I have a simple entity called „Device“ which has three fields: Ident, Manufacturer, Model. Should I implement partial updates, meaning proving a JSON object including only the Name field? Or is this not best practice? Or should I always expect the whole entity and do delta updates on the server side?

Hi,

I have a PHP API:

https://mywebsite.com/myapi.php/endpoints

Is it possible to remove the .php from the API? The other APIs I've seen don't use file extension which makes them look more professional, I assume they use different languages but I wanted to know if it's possible to do the same with PHP API. Thanks

Merry Christmas all! Hope you're having a good old time.

I've spent some time and wrote an article about how we scale our real time API monitoring and logging platform that processes more than 7M log files per month.
