Getting started with Domain Oriented Laravel original
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.

Software Architecture is Overrated, Clear and Simple Design is Underrated
Gergely Orosz argues that you should start with a simple design and try your best to keep it simple. I don't necessarily agree with everything in the post, but it's an interesting opinion nonetheless.

Extracting doesn’t guarantee simplicity
Extracting doesn’t guarantee simplicity. Sometimes extracting code into another module means I’ve smeared one “conceptual module” in my brain into two physical files. Now I can’t look at the whole thing at once, and their internal wiring is more prominent than it deserves. Oops.

An alternative way to organize the Laravel directory structure
I don't necessarly agree with every detail in this post, but it's very interesting to see how others structure larger projects.
In this article, I would like to show you an alternative way to organize your Laravel directory structure. I think the default structure is fine for the most projects. But when it comes down to larger projects I was looking for a different structure.

Domain Events vs. Event Sourcing
Christan Stettler wrote an interesting post on why domain events and event sourcing should not be mixed up.
Event sourcing and domain events can of course be used both at the same time, but should not influence each other. The two concepts are used for different purposes and should therefore not be mixed.

Patterns Are Not Defined by Their Implementation
Some wise words by Mathias Verraes
We must remember to think of a design pattern as “a problem in a context with a reusable solution”, not merely “a reusable solution”. If two patterns have identical solutions, we should not think of them as the same pattern.
