For a couple of projects I needed to read and write a couple of very large Excel and CSV files. I didn't find a good package that does this so I decided to create one myself. Under the hood it uses generators, so memory usage will remain low, even when working with large files.
In this blogpost I'd like to walk you through spatie/simple-excel.

A couple of days ago my colleague Brent published a blogpost on Domain Oriented Laravel. In short, he makes the case for organising your code around business concepts or features. That might sound very "heavy" or daunting, but it's actually for easy to get started with.
In this short video I explain how you can use PhpStorm to refactor your code. Make up your own mind if you need this in your projects.
Adam Wathan explain how can avoid re-rendering the entire UI everytime you click a link in Next.js
Next.js is such a wonderfully productive development experience and produces such incredibly fast websites that I just refused to believe it had to be this way. So I spent a few weeks researching, asking questions, and experimenting, and came up with these four patterns for persistent layouts in Next.js applications.

After tweeting out a screenshot, it often get questions around which editor, font or color scheme I'm using. Instead of replying to those questions individually I've decided to just write down the settings and apps that I'm using.
Tim MacDonald shares an interesting technique.
Action scopes are...well...just query scopes really, but instead of filtering they take an action. It's just a random name I've given them to differentiate them from regular filtering based query scopes in my projects.

When using PHP, you've probably used DocBlocks. They can be used to add additional information that can't be inferred by looking at the source code alone. DocBlocks can be used by IDEs, like PhpStorm, to improve autocomplete suggestions.
In this blogpost, I'd like to highlight a not so well known DocBlock: mixin.
Don't try to manage your colleagues too much.
Employees want to be managed by people who empower them, not manage every bit of their day. The better you get at hitting the right balance between oversight and autonomy, the more likely you are to win long-term fans who will advocate for you as your career progresses.

Not adding an API until absolutely necessary lets us keep our model internal and lets us iterate as needed.

When the void typehint was introduced in PHP 7.1. There was some debate about it. Some people wondered if it is beneficial to type nothing? I was one of them. Meanwhile, I changed my opinion on it. In this short post, I'd like to give you a small example where I think void shines.
A little piece of code I write often enough to mention. Pretty elegant IMO ? pic.twitter.com/F56izKw3hW

Mathias Hansen shares how API response time data is used at Geocodio and how to work with this kind of data in MySQL.
The API is the backbone of our business, so over the years we have continously worked to improve and ensure consistent performance. We look at many parameters such as uptime and error rates, but one of the key metrics is API response time. This is how we use this data.

Atymic (real name unknown to me), a developer hailing from Sydnex, wrote a blogpost on how he managed to get PHP running in the browser via WebAssembly.
I'm sure you've come across plenty of sites that use javascript on the front end, but what about using PHP as a client side language? How, you ask? Since PHP is C based, it's actually possible to compile a version that's able to run inside your web browser using web assembly.

Recently we released a new small package called laravel-rate-limited-job-middleware. As the name implies, this package can be used to limit how many times a job may be executed in a given amount of time.
In this short blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.
Mattias Geniar explains how you can use GitHub actions to run the testsuite of your Laravel app.
Last year we wrote a blogpost about our setup we use for Oh Dear! with Gitlab, and how we use their pipelines for running our CI tests. Since then, we've moved back to Github since they introduced their free private repositories. In this post I'll describe how we re-configured our CI environment using Github Actions.

Marcel Pociot, our teams and me have worked hard to create Ignition, the brand new error page in Laravel 6.
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of being invited to the stream of Gary Hockin where we talked about the internals of Ignation.
Regarding https://t.co/Ky9pICMocc, here's an example (not saying it makes sense to write this test, just showing how it works). pic.twitter.com/1MOFXk1H79
