  • Model events do not fire on a mass update

    Note2 min read

    An observer that keeps a search index in step works perfectly until somebody writes a query builder update, at which point the rows change and nothing notices. This…

  • Laravel 5.6 and logging you can configure

    Deep dive10 min read

    Logging moved into a config file, and stacks are why it matters — a different format per destination, decided without touching a service provider.
