"Conventional" commits is such a bamboozle given that there really isn't a single fixed convention, thus failing to solve the problem it's named for trying to solve.

Sure, AI can be great for writing tests, but I still think there is a huge value in writing at least the first few ones yourself. When you sit there and write code to replicate code paths, you will probably find great refactoring opportunities and bugs the AI would have missed.

Instead of using arrays and having too many concerns in a single class, HydePHP v2 will have code refactored to use internal typed value objects. These won't change the public API, but it makes it so much easier for me to write and test new code, and maintain existing features.

With the #Laravel Artisan console testing helpers, is there a way to get all the output from the command?
I know I can do `withoutMockingConsoleOutput()` but then I can't use fluent testing helpers which I need to interact with input when there are questions.

The next minor update of #HydePHP will automatically transliterate logographic writing systems to ASCII compatible representations when generating slugs in order to improve internationalization. What more can we do to improve support for developers making sites with HydePHP in other languages?

Pro tip: If you make #PHP packages that need to work on multiple operating systems, make sure you don't use `GLOB_BRACE` since some Linux distros don't support it. Use Symfony Finder or even RecursiveDirectoryIterator from the start to save you some headache.

Foo, bar, and baz all have one problem: They're not tasty, and they're not alphabetical. Use this list instead.

People underestimate the value in things that "just work". It's a low bar, but it's exceedingly hard to meet.
But it pays off. Take Apple as an example, people (and especially companies) are willing to pay a high premium for an ecosystem of products that Just Work, and that work well together.

Okay I'm loving this UI so far. I'm actually thinking about making this the default. Personally, I don't think I've ever wanted to publish all #Laravel views for a package. Am I weird? What are people's thoughts on this?
There will be a button and a flag to select all views of course.

Gemini 1.5 Pro with 2M context window is really really good for analyzing changes across massive diffs. Wanted to double check my release notes were up to date for a parent PR with around 10 sub-PRs, and totalling 20 000 line changes over almost 500 commits. Looks to be really accurate!

Which style do people prefer?
$extraAttributes is an array that may or may not be empty, and may or may not contain a class key.
In my opinion the first one is more readable, but it's annoying me that there is so much repetition. The second doesn't look as readable to me though
