Pennant looks great. The problem I have with feature flags is that people abuse it. I have seen codebase with hundreds of feature flags, a thousands of dead lines of code, never been deployed/used. Also I have seen deployments failing because of too many if/then. Because when you develop a feature you have code regarding that feature everywhere. So feature flags should be only used when strictly necessary,, and not as development approach. Having only the master branch and relaying exclusively on feature flags is a (very) bad idea. Trunk development is a bad idea. Use branches, gitflow, and eventually feature flags, when you are rolling out features that require to be tested by a restricted number of users. This is not the case for all the features, this is the case for just a small percentage of you develop. Abusing feature flags will make your code unreadable. Also flags should be removed when the feature is released for all. Does Pennant have something for that?
Both gitflow and trunk based development have their own tradeoffs, as everything in programming. I worked with both patterns and cannot really decide which one I like more. Although I do have to agree feature flags do get abused a lot in trunk development. People are like "Oh I have to change this page title to say something else, I'll put it behind a feature flag" and proceed to create a feature flag for most useless of things. Hiding larger features or chunks of logic behind feature flags I think is nice, but going too granular is a maintenance nightmare. I've seen people introduce feature flags into code only to remove them literally 24-48 hours later, which is pointless and just unnecessary overhead.
I'm a 41 years old guy, I started programming in PHP with 16 years old, landed my first job as a programer at 21, I did amazing thing with PHP. Now, it's been almost 12 years that I don't use it anymore, but my brain still finds it easier to learn thing in PHP than using my current stack, funny how that works....
Even though many people hate or make fun of PHP, I still think modern PHP doesn't need to shy away from competition. I have a similar vita as you, and while I often use Go for new projects, coming back to PHP and especially Laravel or Symfony is a joy. And with Octane, you can even combine PHP with Go.

"That seems....pretty ~dumb~" - Aaron Francis, looking at his own code. Love the video! Bookmarking literally all of these to send to people when they ask me why I still use PHP/Laravel in 2024
If not because of subscribing to you, i would not have known about this neat feature flags in laravel. I usually use spatie permission and sometimes it just too granullar for my use cases, maybe the thing i need for my past projects was this feature flags. Thank you Aaron! Maybe for future topics, is there an Alert System in Laravel to notify developer if some user encounter error in their production apps? Keep up the good works, your videos is very pleasant to hear!
Hi Aaron, me too I prefer light mode to work but I find that dark mode more versatile for videos for two reasons: first, white is too bright when watching at night 😅 and two, switching from full frame video to white editor is too harsh. Anyway, just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work.
These videos make me want to use Laravel more and more. I wonder how hard it’d be to swap now. I have been working on a Vue 3 front end and just started the backend portion. Express is proving to be a headache for logging in with Steam 💀 I might have to learn more and see if this is the perfect fit, I’m just not too sure how to best connect existing data or if I can define models for an existing schema. I’ll have to investigate 🕵️♂️
If you just started working on your backend and didn't do much work, just switch to Laravel. In Express you'll end up connecting 10 different libraries for things that Laravel provides out of the box and that all integrate nicely in Laravel because they are officially supported. And also Express is outdated and isn't really maintained for a few years now.
Aaron, a tip for the artisan cli: if you type `artisan ` you will get all the commands in that namespace. For a shorter display you can make it error out adding the : after the namespace.
Hmmm I don't know if I've ever seen anyone use Pennant for that. I bet you could make it work, but it feels like a little bit of an unsupported use case

Or you can write your own storage driver! Honestly just using the database driver is probably good enough. You can read it from anywhere
A subscription and a network dependency (point of failure)

12 years using most php hoping that will get better. And here we are.

Woah .. this is so much better than what I have had to do in Node.js and Next.js applications!!
I don't use Laravel, and last time I touched PHP was over 6 years ago... Why am I here? 😂
PS: Awesome video, as always! 😊
We'll get you back!
@@aarondfrancis I wouldn't mind, I heard you guys have Lambos! 😆
I'm thinking why do we actually need that feature?
You might not
I'm curious what is the Database management tool you use in this video?
Is that DB Browser?
He’s using TablePlus
@@alcymn Thank you 🥰
Can you sometimes share your PHP Storm config? Looks pretty neat.
Simply so great and clearly explained! Thank you!
light theme was a horrible idea
Besides that, what'd you think
Can you do the same thing with Gates?
Maybe! Not super sure.
What's the name of white theme of phpstorm? I liked it.
It's great to have first-party FF, nice video man.
Do we have any good lsp of laravel for vscode?

light theme console? you must be a psycho :D

Great! Would this also be recommended for user preferences that they choose themselves?

@@aarondfrancis cool, I'll look into it. I'm new to Laravel. Thank you for the reply! I love your content! ❤️
first
okay, but why light mode ?
same reason I do almost everything I do: I like it
@@aarondfrancis Finally found someone who is not trend-driven👍
Because he wants this information to be seared into your retinas so you retain it
i like the way you make the explanations more easier
Thanks
