Wanna shorten imports when using Laravel Wayfinder? Add a custom Vite alias pointing to whatever directory makes sense for your project.

Laravel Wayfinder integrates perfectly with Inertia, however it also pairs lovely with Axios and the fetch API. ✨✋⛵️

🍭 Refactoring a callback to a first-class callable? Heck yea. But also… You might be subtly changing behaviour by implicitly passing additional arguments, especially with collection pipelines.

Learnt something new about Laravel today. I always thought Laravel’s `$fallback` value kicked in when a retrieved value was either missing OR `null`. I always thought these two approaches were equivalent. Always learning.

A pattern I’ve been enjoying recently is extracting binding callbacks from Laravel service providers into smaller dedicated factory classes and then replacing the anonymous closure with the factories invoke method. Just want the container to accept `callable` rather requiring `Closure`.
