One Laravel mistake I see surprisingly often:
Putting too much logic inside controllers.
A controller should mostly coordinate the request.
When a method starts becoming 100+ lines, that's usually a signal to move logic into:
โ Actions
โ Services
โ Jobs
โ Form Requests
โ Domain-specific classes
The goal isn't "clean code" for the sake of it.
It's making the next change easier.
