“Future Proof” Laravel Projects
Raymund Enso — our 2nd-time speaker shared his talk yesterday, 27th of April, 2019 titled “Two Important Disciplines For A Future Proof Laravel Project”. He shared two key things to ensure that your projects will be “future-proof” — Critical Thinking and Unit Testing.
Critical Thinking
Nobody wants to constantly redo a job every single time especially if it means scrapping everything and starting from scratch once again. He said, every project starts from a “design” and before really starting anything, we need to observe and properly communicate what we understand. And as the project goes on, we should also practice anticipation — a.k.a “thinking in advance”.
Unit Testing
Last but more importantly, testing — unit. What is your testing strategy? Push to production and hope everything’s okay? Or be confident because you have done a good job validating that the code you made (which you’re proud of) pretty sure works. Testing not only boost your confidence but it’s proven to reduce bugs/errors by 80% in most projects.
