Writing & notes

A deploy check reported a total outage against a site that was serving fine. The difference was 250 milliseconds of Happy Eyeballs, and it cost me an hour twice.

A class selector in my own layer was losing to a type selector in a framework reset. The layer order I had carefully declared was being ignored, and nothing said so.

I moved a Nuxt site to a plain Node server and every route rule silently stopped working. Nothing warned me, nothing failed, and the site got slower forever.

Controllers should orchestrate, not implement. Moving business logic into dedicated Action classes keeps your Laravel codebase readable, testable, and change-friendly.

Before I write a single line of application code, I sit with the schema. Here is why the data model is the most important design decision you will make on any project.
