Nomad PHPMe: Is that really important that the tables are MyISAM? It's 2018, you know.. There are dozens of queries in queue waiting for table-level locks.
R**: Are they MyISAM? Really?
Me: Yes.. Any objection against converting them to InnoDB? With the current state of the website, with all those tons of Gateway Timeouts, it's not going to make it worse if I do it right now..
Me: Nah, it didn't help a lot.. But, looking at the SHOW PROCESSLIST output, I see something weird. What, do you think, this query does? SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() FROM images?
R**: ehh... Gets you the last AUTO_INCREMENT id from images table?
Me: Let's play another good news bad news joke.. Good news: you're right, it gets you the last AUTO_INCREMENT id. Bad news: it's not for table, it's for the session. Worse news: this query gets you the last AUTO_INCREMENT id and does it exactly as many times as there are rows in the images table. how many are there?
R**: about 8mln. #@%&! It's sending 8mln rows on every image upload, through the network!
Me: Bingo! 8mln rows, with one and the same integer value in all of them.
R**: Ouch... Aaaand... Before today, it was not an issue. Because the database was on the same server as the application..
Me: Exactly, it used the loopback interface, and now it's using ehternet, which, apparently, doesn't have a super good bandwidth. We don't have a gigabit channel between servers, do we?
R**: No, it's 100 Mbit
Me: Are you fixing the query, BTW?
R**: yeah, man, deploying it...

var_dump(), which is obviously not the best way to do it. If you see the code for the first time, if you work with legacy code - step-by-step interactive debugging is the way to go. Sometimes it can save you hours of old school var_dumping.watch phpunit /path/to/test while developing: this way the test is run every 2 seconds, you switch to the terminal whenever you want to see the latest results and that's it. However, there are certain advantages in running tests from the IDE. First, it's super-handy to launch a test method, test class or a whole folder with tests, just by pressing a hotkey. Second, the test results appear right there, in PHPStorm, with failures and their stack traces, every entry clickable and takes you directly to the file:line where a nasty thing happened. I also find the ability to run a debugger for a unit test, extremely attractive. Test fails, you click on a trace entry, get to a problematic line, place a break point, re-run the test in debug mode - and there you go.$HOME/projects/cool-project, but inside a docker or on a remote host it might be located at /app or /var/www, then you have to let PHPStorm know about this.Debugging is like being the detective in a crime movie where you are also the murderer.

$cache = app("cache");
app("cache"") and expect a Cache\Repository instance as result. If I pass the result of this call to a function that requires a Cache\Repository as parameter, I will probably have a code inspection warning from IDE. Moreover, if I want proper autocompletion, I will have to add additional comment:
$cache = app("cache");
namespace App;
class MyApp extends Application
{
public function cacheRepository(): Repository
{
return $this->make(Repository::class);
}
}
TypeError in case of a misconfiguration, and I have a type-hint which allows the IDE to recognize the return value. Bye-bye nasty comment lines and IDE warnings! I make a method per service, with type-hints, like dbConnection() or viewFactory() - works really well for me!bootstrap/app.php, should reside in that custom class:namespace App;
class MyApp extends Application
{
public function __construct()
{
define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true));
define("APP_ROOT", realpath(__DIR__ . "/../"));
parent::__construct(APP_ROOT);
$this->setUp();
}
private function setUp()
{
$this->singleton(
Contracts\Http\Kernel::class,
\App\Http\Kernel::class
);
}
}
bootstrap/app.php becomes just this:return new \App\MyApp;
app() function will also return an instance of MyApp from now on. However, it's @phpdoc says it returns \Illuminate\Foundation\Application, so for better clarity, I also added my own accessor method:namespace App;
class MyApp extends Application
{
public static function app(): self
{
$ret = parent::getInstance();
return $ret;
}
}
MyApp::app(). The IDE wil be aware of the return type due to the type-hint, so I get everything I want for clean and clear development.
