Not everything needs another layer of abstraction

This looks more confusing than before. `refreshForUpdate()` doesn't tell me that it's locking anything.

Laramap Events is live. Claim the events you're going to or have been to, see who else is there and share your photos. The map draws a line from everyone's home to the venue, which looks better than I expected. What's the furthest you've travelled for a Laravel event? laramap.dev/events/larav...

I also like them in "plain" Laravel. Less magic. One class for every scope.

Dennis Koch @denniskoch.dev · 22/08/2026

It's fascinating how a single message can spark motivation. Laramaps events have sat idle for months now. I worked on it the whole morning after receiving a nice email from Simon, who just came back from Laravel Live Denmark. Hope to ship this soon.

It's interesting to see Pascal build "Inertia for Blade" just to fully go into Inertia afterwards. 😅

Yep. Too many people just don't give a fuck as long as it doesn't affect them. He's invited to Laravel Live Denmark 2026, sharing a panel with Taylor, and nobody seems to care. I'm glad I haven't bought tickets for that conference. Or maybe I should, just to boo at him.

He's been at the far right of politics for a long time. But they are becoming less and less afraid to write down what they actually think.

Would be awesome, but don't put too much work into it just for me 😅 I also wanted to look into it, but didn't have the time yet.

I like the chain rule for fixing `expect()->` stuff. Would be cool if there was another option that chains without `->and()` 😂 Maybe I just need to get used to it.

Michele Hansen @mjwhansen.com · 23/07/2026

It's pretty much your existing rules merged into core? I already wanted to add them. My only pet peeve with PESTs expectation API is `->and()`. I'd prefer a new `expect()` for readability.

Probably not worth the effort as it takes some seconds to delete the other events 😅

Dennis Koch @denniskoch.dev · 13/07/2026

Great, thanks! For the "watching online" folks it would be cool to just get the talks as a separate ICS file 😬 But I can certainly just delete some of them

Aren't we currently trying to make it Java with all the new additions? 😅

Dennis Koch @denniskoch.dev · 15/05/2026

Depends on the word. If it's absolutely clear, that it will be the same everywhere (e.g. "Yes", "No") I reuse them. Otherwise it will be a separate key.

Dennis Koch @denniskoch.dev · 11/05/2026

I was just looking for that post on Mastodon, but seems you didn't post there. Hope you're not discouraged from posting. I totally agree with you. The function reference is great. I never navigated the PHP docs directly, only visit via Google. The onboarding is pretty boring. Comments can be gold

You changed the query though. It should be `->whereNowOrPast()`.

What's this obsession with Laravel taking over PHP?

This is sarcasm (from Ed), right? 😅

Maybe add new logs at the top and keep the table at the top too? Bottom feels weird. First I didn't even realise
