We, @spriebsch and @sebastian, have been frustrated watching great #PHP articles appear, get a moment of attention, and quietly disappear, while AI-generated fluff fills up search results.

This is why we launched PHP Reads: https://phpreads.com/

Every week, we hand-pick articles from across the PHP community that reward careful reading. No ads. No tracking. No vendor submissions. Just writing that actually deserves to be found.

It's free, and will stay free forever.

PHP Reads - Curated PHP writing worth your time

Hand-curated PHP reading for developers who value signal over noise.

Working on remaking one of my projects in Laravel 12/Filament and spent the weekend trying to figure out why models getting data from database views were failling, but worked just fine in the original project. Finally tracked it down to a change to config/database.php that happened in Laravel 5.3, but never got changed in my project.

March 2025 garden update

After a last bout of below 0°C weather a few weeks ago, most of the plants in the raised beds are coming back to life. The blueberries started popping out a bunch of flowers a couple weeks ago and now they're sprouting a bunch of leaves. Flowering blueberry bushes Flowering blueberry bushes I planted a few more butternut squash seeds I had left over from last year in a few spots.

This is what last night's lunar eclipse looked like from the Blue Ghost lander's perspective on the Moon. Amazing!
