Stop adding external link icons manually. CSS does it automatically. `\2197` is the ↗ unicode arrow, consistent across all browsers and fonts. `:not(:has(img))` skips links that wrap images, so the arrow only appears on text links. Zero JavaScript. Zero extra markup. Three lines of CSS.

@wendell_adriel @christophrumpel @mattstauffer It was a really fun episode! I enjoyed hearing about you applying for the Laravel jobs. I bet it was so nerve-racking haha 😅 Maestro sounds seriously cool, too! It sounds like you're absolutely smashing it at the moment 💪

#PHP doesn't recompile your regex on every preg_match call. ext/pcre keeps an in-process LRU cache of 4096 patterns (PCRE_CACHE_SIZE in php_pcre.c). First call: pcre2_compile + pcre2_jit_compile. Next calls: direct pointer. That's why the same regex in a loop is essentially native. The JIT'd pattern is already there. If possible, don't generate dynamic patterns at runtime. You blow the cache 😄

Where does Rector fit into your PHP/Laravel app workflows? 🤔 I'm writing an article about using Rector, and want to know what stage people are running it at. Is it automated (e.g., git hooks, CI workflows, etc.)? Or manually run?

@JayBird1979 In all fairness, I was considering using something like that (and probably still will). My only concern is that I've not used Swift before, so I wouldn't know if the generated code is secure, etc. It should still be a great starting point though 😄

I want to build a tiny MacOS menu bar app using Swift! Purely as a fun little side project that's completely different to my usual type of work. Any particular recommendations on resources for learning Swift? 😁

@nicoverbruggen Nice! Thanks for the recommendations. And funnily enough, it was actually PHP Monitor that gave me the inspiration to try to building a menu bar app. I love how it just sits in the corner of my screen and is a huge help 😄

@JonPurvis_ Yeah, I'm not expecting it to be anything amazing, but I'm hoping it'll be fun to build. I'll definitely try to get a blog post written after I've finished it 😄

I thought I'd share what I've been working on. 📧🏠 It's a self-hosted web app for creating your own email services on top of Amazon's SES. I hate AWS's console it's horrible to manage and configure. The idea of Mailstead is you're guided through making a simple IAM user that can then manage service creation and any maintenance for you. It helps you set up the domain names and webhooks for email events. It gives you far more control than messing around in AWS. I just want email services to be straightforward without all the costs. It feels like every service just wants to upsell you for the features you actually want. The plan is Mailstead can just be deployed onto Laravel Cloud and you've got your dashboard to control it all. $20+ plans become $0.50 self-hosted.

I've been working on a new Open Source app. Not a package, a full blown, deployable app that I think the everyone in the Laravel community will enjoy, hopefully even wider than that. It scratches my own itch for an area of web app development I've always found a bit frustrating.

#Laravel Tip🔥 Did you know you can prevent duplicate queue jobs with the `ShouldBeUnique` interface? Just add a unique identifier in `uniqueId()` to detect duplicates jobs. No extra checks or manual locks — fewer race conditions, cleaner queues, and more reliable background processing 👇
