Using Laravel Telescope?

Having it accessible in production (securely of course!) is a great tool for diagnosing problems, but can cause performance issues.

Pause Telescope recording for an instant boost to a busy application!

Understanding database queries, indexing and limitations of database storage engines is essential if you're trying to optimise an application for scale.

Running EXPLAIN queries is my first go-to when I'm looking at query performance.

Starting to move back towards using Docker for development stacks. I got fed up with switching PHP versions for different projects and things breaking; it's far far easier just to run a properly-configured docker-compose file!

How do you implement change password rules in Laravel?

I prefer to use a custom validator rule and call that from my request class.

First look at X-Plane 12 - on my Mac with default settings so I didn't have my 2080 graphics card - I'm impressed.

First flight of 2023 - seeing the London skyline at night 😍

I'm going to have to go on one of those helicopter tours - I flew several miles north of Canary Wharf but no picture does the sight justice! Just stunning.

Got some UI work done for my domain management portal - billing methods and finishing the add/remove card integration with Stripe.

Also decided to adopt the #addamsfamily for testing from now on 🕷️👈🏻😂

This is your annual reminder to update the copyright notices on all your websites.

Or better still - automate it so you don't have to worry about it again!

Just back from 4 hours of flying to my hometown and back, the first time my daughter has seen Wales.

Loved hearing Christmas wishes from both pilots and controllers on the radio. Shout out to ATC at @RAFBrizeNorton and @Cardiff_Airport - fantastic as always!
