I'm learning Event Sourcing and I'm about to add it to my app for one entire feature set. Which package should I use, Verbs or Spatie?

I need to start using cashier to allow people to set up monthly donations to our ministry.

What are things that I should take into account as I start to plan out this implementation?

I'm so grateful for custom domains getting moved to the Starter tier of Laravel Cloud!

Now I only wish I had a (less than $20/month) way to get access to the Preview Environments. That's such a fun feature in development work, but I can manually do it for free with just a few extra steps so not quite $20/mo worth to me at the moment.

Laravel Cloud is cool! I'm trying to determine the cost efficacy of moving all of my apps from Forge/Linode to Cloud.

Quote from someone who I'm teaching Laravel and Livewire to.... "Livewire isn't the toughest thing. It's easier than a divorce."

:D

I'm attending the Global Leadership Summit, and Craig Groeschel is talking about faithfulness in the boring things making you great over time, and I thought of how this applies to testing our code!

Taking the time to do the "boring" and "slow" actions like writing tests, if we do that over time, we will always end up with building great apps and becoming great developers.

But when we avoid being faithful in doing the consistent "boring" and "slow" things, we may get really quick big wins, but they will be not impacting anyone or anything in the long term.

Not testing means we get a fancy app quickly, but it will be fragile and breaking, and it means we won't grow as well in being dedicated disciplined developers that grow a lot in our knowledge and ability to architect an app well.

What do you think @nunomaduro ? 😆 #GLS25
