In something I probably knew once but never used - you can return a response in a laravel policy.
Bools give you a 403, but Response::deny("you can't access this because you are not part of the owning team") is clearer for the user - and then you when they complain they can't see it!

Loved reading this post about #PHP ’s new URI extension - the amount of work in making it good, secure, and extendible for the future is impressive, but the benefits being extended not only to PHP, but also to upstream projects is quite delightful.

This is one of the more thought provoking articles I've read recently - I typically redirect, but maybe the norm should be to reject http api calls so clients have to use https?

Security Tip: How Should APIs Respond to HTTP?
[Tip #123] If an API client tries to connect via unencrypted HTTP, what should your API do: redirect to HTTPS, disable HTTP, offer a swift rebuke, or take matters into it's own hands?

I've been trying out ddev on some projects, and I might, maybe, just so slightly be enjoying a docker setup for once.
The best part was in the docs where it says it's using docker-composer, but you can "cheerfully ignore" that.

There most embarrassing part of this to me is the lack of sensible problem solving steps, then blaming the WiFi?
To me, he interrupted the first step, causing it to go onto the second. Should have asked for the previous step, not just kept asking "what do I do first?"

I am currently in an existential battle between doing things the time consuming way or the quick and easy way 😔
This code should really be a package - I already have it copied between 3 projects - it's 100% overdue being a package.
But I could just copy it again without having to do package work...

Couple of months back I had some new users with various internal app problems. Turns out many auth checks were done via user display name lookup. Case sensitive, unpredictable and entirely undocumented.
It often used an email to build a request to get a display name too... 🙄
