Magic methods are okay in the right context
Переглядів 9Місяць тому
"Magic" methods and properties show up several places in Laravel, as well as third-party packages. They can make certain things easier and less verbose, but there is a trade off.

Are you really going to need that abstraction?
Переглядів 62 місяці тому
Interfaces are a great tool for writing maintainable applications, but it is possible to go "too far" with abstraction. Or maybe, it's a bad use of time to write an abstraction up front before you really know you need it. We discuss some trade-offs and examples.
Should you change application code to support a test?
Переглядів 62 місяці тому

How do you tell a teammate they might be wrong?

How do you tell a teammate they might be wrong?
In my opinion, explicit is generally better. Not needing special tooling for autocompletion is just one of the benefits. With PHP 8.4 property getter/setters we might see ORMs evolving to require less magic
Definitely looking forward to that feature in PHP 8.4!
Hey guys. Great content, but have you considered setting up a video camera for the UA-cam versions? Most people find it much easier to engage on UA-cam when they can see the people speaking. A lot of podcasters are doing it that way nowadays - eg. Matt and Taylor's podcast. Personally, I'd only drop by occasionally for audio-only content but would check out most episodes if there was video.
Thanks for the feedback. Right now this is really an audio podcast that we're cross-posting to UA-cam but we're thinking about more ideas with video content for the future.
