🚀 App using too much memory? Imagine 100K user records at 1KB each = 95MB. If all users are “Female,” that’s 28MB wasted on duplicate data! Use the Flyweight Pattern to share common data vs unique data & boost performance. #DesignPatterns #MemoryOptimization

💡 Idempotency in REST APIs: Making the same request multiple times should have the same effect as making it once. ✅ Idempotent: GET, PUT, DELETE ❌ Non-Idempotent: POST, PATCH Ensures safe retries, better caching & scalability! 🚀 #API #REST #WebDev

#Laravel Tip When a user updates their password, it's more secure to also change the API Token - right? Here's how to quickly do it via mutator:

💡Laravel Tip: Instead of fetching unnecessary data and filtering it in PHP, use query constraints to load only what's needed from the database. #Laravel #CleanCode #MemoryOptimization #performance

💡Laravel Tip cursor() handles large datasets memory-efficiently by fetching rows in batches. It retrieves a batch, yields rows one by one, and fetches the next batch as needed. Perfect for handling massive data without memory bloat! #Laravel #PHP #Optimization #performance

Building complex objects with many attributes? Use the Builder Pattern! Instead of a fat constructor, this pattern lets you build objects step-by-step, focusing on flexibility and readability. Each step is a method, making code clean & manageable #php #CleanCode #DesignPattern

💡PHP Tip: Using Generators with Keys! Generators are great for memory-efficient loops. Did you know you can yield keys as well as values? Check out this example that calculates squares #php #tricks #optimization #performance #generators

💡Validate Emails with DNS and MX Checks! Use Laravel's built-in email validation with DNS and MX record checks! This verifies the domain has valid DNS records, adding an extra layer of validation to prevent typos and fake emails! #php #security #EmailValidation #laravel

💡PHP Tip: `self` refers to the class where a method is defined (static binding), ignoring inheritance. `static` uses late static binding, resolving methods in the class that invoked them, respecting inheritance. #php #codingtips #oop

🎯 Unlock PHP Secrets with \Closure::bind()! Did you know you can bind closures to objects & access private/protected members? Perfect for advanced manipulation & testing! #phpTips #CodeSmart #WebDev #php #DevHacks

🚀 In PHP, use fn (Arrow Functions) for simple, single-line functions with automatic scope access and concise syntax. Use function (Anonymous Functions) for more complex logic with multiple statements. #php #CleanCode #CodeOptimization

Did you know you can include a URI fragment when redirecting to a route in Laravel? #laravel #php #laravelRouting

💡Laravel Tip: Use Blade directives to show data based on the environment! #php #laravel #blade #CleanCode

💡Laravel Tip: "Use `->dd()` in Laravel to quickly dump & inspect Eloquent query results or SQL without running the query! Great for debugging #Laravel #PHP #CleanCode

💡Laravel Tip: To perform model operations without updating the updated_at timestamp, you can wrap the operations inside a closure provided to the withoutTimestamps method. #laravel #Eloquent #database #sql #orm

🚨Security Tip: Laravel Queries Always bind user input in raw SQL queries to prevent SQL injection attacks! #laravel #SQL #SQLInjection #Security #php

💡Git Tip: Keep commits atomic and focused. One logical change per commit. Use clear and descriptive messages that explain what and why the change was made. This helps others (and your future self) understand the code without diving into it. #Git #CodingBestPractices

MySQL Security Tip: Disable remote root access! 🚫 Allowing root access remotely is a major security risk. Disable it by setting bind-address to 127.0.0.1 in your MySQL config file (my.cnf) #security #mysql #database #DataPrivacy

💡Laravel Tip: Proxy design pattern in collections Higher Order Messages in Laravel Collections make your code cleaner! 🚀 No more closures — just use properties/methods directly! Make your code cleaner and concise! #laravel #CleanCode #ProxyPattern #DesignPattern

💡Laravel Tip: Use forelse instead of foreach in Blade templates to handle empty lists gracefully! ✨ This approach keeps your code clean and ensures you always have a fallback when the list is empty! 🚀 #Laravel #PHP #CodeTips #Blade #BladeDirectives #LoopFunctions
