Good Engineering Practices while Working Solo
When you’ve got to go it alone, how do you make the most out of it?
Most developers work as part of a team. However, at some point in our careers, we’ve had to (or we’ll have to) work alone. And while much of product development involves being able to manage or work with the rest of the team, it’s equally as important to develop good practices while working solo.

How to turn Laravel from Static to Dependency Injection in one Day
A framework is just a tool. Each teaches you coding habits you need to use them effectively. Like Laravel gives you speed at prototyping with static "facades". But the applications grows, so does the team, so does your skill and you start to prefer constructor injection.
What then? Switch framework or rewrite? But what if all you need is to switch single pattern?
