  • Route model binding with a custom key per route

    Note1 min read

    getRouteKeyName() changes the binding column for a model everywhere, which is wrong when the admin addresses an order by id and the customer addresses it by reference. An…

  • Read a JSON config file with a fallback in PHP

  • PHPStan levels are a ratchet, not a target

    Note2 min read

    The levels run 0 to 7 and the instinct is to aim for the top, which on an existing codebase produces thousands of errors and no way to…
