Laravel Translations: Keys as JSON String or PHP Array?

It's easy to use text translations in Laravel. However, there are two ways to identify a key: as a string (('My profile')) or as an array key (`('users.my_profile'`). Let me tell my opinion on which one is a better choice.

Using translation as a string can be tempting, as it's easier for non-technical people to translate those phrases from JSON than from PHP array.

However, for bigger projects, having one huge en.json may be a pain to maintain. It can also lead to errors or unexpected behavior. Let's examine two problems.

Extend or implement

I'm probably part of a small group that actually cares about this: the difference between extending an abstract class and implementing an interface (ideally with a trait to provide part of the default implementation). I don't expect many people to follow my reasoning, but hey, it's my blog, I can write whatever thoughts are coming to my mind 😅

Product-focused team vs Body leasing. What’s the Difference?

Product-focused teams and body leasing are popular software development models in the IT sector; however, their operational dynamics are as different as day and night.

The former prioritizes permanent staffing, while the latter relies on temporary staffing.

Now, when you hire staff on a temporary basis, which means they could be gone anytime soon, tell us what sort of commitment levels they’d bring to the table. Think about it! Won’t it be half-hearted? Or maybe one-fourth-hearted?

The PHP Foundation - future of PHP is in a good hands!

PHP began as a personal project by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, initially named Personal Home Page, and has gained popularity since then thanks to its simplicity and availability in most web hosting environments. PHP was originally designed as a set of Common Gateway Interface (CGI) binaries written in C, but over the last two decades, has evolved into a powerful server-side scripting language.

As PHP has grown, so has its need for support and development. Today, this is provided by the PHP Foundation and the PHP development team itself. The foundation plays a key role in PHP’s development, security updates, and engaging with the community. It is a non-profit organization supported purely by sponsors.

Benefits of writing clean, maintainable code

I have been writing code now for close to 20 years, but for the vast majority of that, I never really paid much attention to how my code looked, how maintainable it was long term, I was only really interested in if it worked and did what it was supposed to, but it was full of bad practices and I had a lot of bad habits.

PHP Attributes: how to use PHP Attributes and create custom attribute classes – Fast Tips

PHP attributes were introduced in PHP 8.0. This version marked a significant milestone for the language, bringing several new features and improvements, including the introduction of attributes for adding metadata to code declarations.

The first time I had to deal with attributes was due to an issue in the Inspector’s PHP library. Check on GitHub. Before digging deeper into the solution, let’s take an overview of what attributes are and how they can be used in your PHP code.

Attributes are a powerful feature that allows you to add metadata to declarations like classes, methods, or properties. These metadata can be retrieved programmatically, opening up new possibilities for cleaner, more organized, and efficient code.

The Differences Between var, let, and const Through the Prism of the ECMAScript Standard.

Many articles explain the differences between var, let, and const using terms such as hoisting, Temporal Dead Zone(TDZ), functional and block scope, etc., often without referencing the standard. Some of those terms are not even included in the language standard. It's perfectly fine to explain the topic without referencing the language standard. However, I explain the topic by referencing it for those who want to dig a bit deeper, as understanding the ECMAScript standard is crucial for a comprehensive grasp of JavaScript.
