Looks amazing! I’ve just pre-ordered a copy. Can’t wait to read it.

Developers use webp because it’s smaller, so loads faster on mobile. Mainly though, Google recommend we use it to improve page speed; is annoying if you’re trying to download an image though.

My favourite streaming service too. I’ve bookmarked this as I havent seen all these yet. Something to look forward to for the new year.

You can use the 📌 feed. It shows any posts you replied to with a “📌”.

I did add a second post about this, but for testing I’d only include the bits I need for the test to work. You don’t actually need to mock the response, you can just create the real object if you want but for complex responses I sometimes create convenience methods and mock them if it’s easier.

You can then add a method to the PaymentResponse class such as getPayload() or getAttribute($name) and you can mock these to return just the data you need for your test rather than trying to recreate the entire api response.

There are a few scenarios, but if you have a PaymentGateway class with a pay() method that returns a json response I would create a PaymentResponse class that accepts the json decoded response (associative array) and return that class.

The rule of thumb is “don’t mock what you don’t own”. I usually just create a client class that returns a wrapper for the api response which you can then mock.

I never even thought of looking at feeds for this. I was just scrambling around looking for recommended experts. Definitely going to be looking for feeds in future!
