  • I, and then every junior I’ve onboarded as well, struggled to grasp just how important the naming conventions are for everything to just work. Models and tables must be named a certain way or you’ll be scratching your head. Model policies must be named a certain way. On and on. You can override all those, of course, but it’s just another gotcha.


  • If you want to use PHP, and you want to be productive, there’s no other choice in my opinion. I will say, the brain behind it is quite opinionated and most of those opinions are correct. If you don’t agree with those opinions, you will probably find yourself hating it and fighting the Laravel Magic. Give in to the magic and get shit done.






  • Whole heartedly, FDM is laughably worse at the hobby/consumer level. I sold my Ender 3 because it was just a pain in the ass, intending on never 3D printing again.

    A coworker mentioned the Elegoo Mars 4K being so cheap so I gave it a shot. I’ve printed so much with it, and I have literally never had a problem once I dialed in my exposure time with the resin I like. I don’t even fuss with how long the resin has sat idle. Months can go by between prints and I don’t even bother stirring it. It just cranks things out like a magician.

    Everyone who can set up adequate ventilation and buy thick rubber gloves: get a resin printer and never look back.
