    Can we give it up one more time for @aarondfrancis? The amount of work that man has put into the last few days has been nothing short of incredible. Maximum effort as ever.

    Here's a pretty cool Eloquent tip: you can combine `where` with a `match` statement to clean up what would otherwise be multiple if statements 😎

    In the next #Laravel release you'll be able to use `--test` or `--pest` on various artisan make commands to generate matching @phpunit or @pestphp tests 😎 This makes it simpler than ever to start writing tests for your apps ✅ github.com/laravel/framew…

    After some 🔥 tweaks from @taylorotwell, Blade stringable support was merged into #Laravel today. So happy with the final syntax, its soooooooo squeaky clean. Look out for it in next week's release! 🥳

    Reverb is so easy to set up 🤩 - `php artisan install:broadcasting` - `php artisan make:event` - Implement `ShouldBroadcast` with a channel name - Use Echo to listen This demo took 5 minutes to set up, and I've never seen Reverb before today. Amazing work.

    I've been interested in passkeys (passwordless auth) for some time now. The problem is, it's pretty complex, so adoption has been pretty slow in the Laravel community ☹️ So, I've been hacking on a package that makes it a breeze to integrate. Here's a sneak peek 👀

    Here's seamless Passkey integration in a @LaravelLivewire app 😎 The JS is so minimal that I opted to do it using Livewire's inline `js` method 👌 Hoping to do a mini-series on this soon on @laracasts

    New MacBook arrived this morning 🥳 Thanks to Laravel Herd, DBngin and Jetbrains Toolbox I was up and running in less than an hour 🚀 No junk. No mess. Pure DX joy. PHP tooling has never been better 😎

    What are your thoughts on something like this in #laravel? When using groups, what if you could define the controller once, then just reference the controller methods? Just trying to gauge interest before I do anything about it 🤔
