Directly assigning view variable
🔥 Applications often have the most lines of code within controller actions.
— Jason McCreary (@gonedark) April 13, 2020
One practice to streamline your code is directly assigning view variables.
This also limits the use of temporarily variables and promotes abstractions which make the code more readable. pic.twitter.com/m0JGsybQ9k

Query time casting in Laravel
Tweet – – twitter.com
🧙♂️ One of my favorite Laravel 7 features is query time casting. This is super handy when using a subquery to get extra "non-model" data, such as a date. By default it would be a string. This feature lets you cast it to a Carbon instance "on the fly". 👌https://t.co/Kd94iMsomA pic.twitter.com/VIzowGy3um

Replacing websockets with Livewire
Up until a few days ago, the real-time UI of Oh Dear (an uptime monitoring SaaS I run) was powered with web sockets. We recently replaced this with Livewire components.
In this blog post, I'd like to explain why and how we did that.
I'm going to assume that you already know what Livewire is. If not, head over to the Livewire docs. There's even a short video course on there. In short, Livewire enables you to create dynamic UIs using server-rendered partials.
