The Ultimate Guide To Testing Uploads and Downloads in Laravel
Laravel provides some helpful documentation for testing that your file uploads and downloads work as expected. But their examples test at a shallow level, in the name of test performance and simplicity. The documented upload tests upload no real content; the download tests only check headers or check for the presence of strings. Thorough testing often requires testing at a deeper level - ensuring the file is parsed properly by your backend, or that you are generating a valid file at all. This guide covers most of those common use cases. Note that Pest is used for the examples here, but the approaches should work just as well for PHPUnit.

The Zebra Puzzle: Evaluating Developer Potential Without Coding
In a previous career, I was a software lead who wanted to build a highly performant group of devs. Doing so usually requires either a) hire several all-star developers, or b) develop a team from scratch for high cohesion, and then grow them into all-star developers. Due to budget constraints the latter strategy was chosen. Since the team was going to be primarily junior- and mid-level developers, I wanted to evaluate their skill in a code-agnostic way.

System Integrations, Just Good Fun
Let's take a quick trip back to the early ‘90s. No cloud software. No instant messaging. No fancy dashboards pulling data from half a dozen sources in real time. If you needed something from another department, you picked up the phone, walked over to someone’s desk, or waited for someone to drop a printed report in your inbox - your physical inbox - on your desk.

Despite their innovation, they still weren't quite perfect. They relied on simple keyword matching, often returning a flood of results that left users drowning in irrelevant links. Then?

A Clever Way to Structure Flutter Apps
During my time building apps in flutter, I have found that online examples of implementations really boil down to two things. The two implementations I see most often rely on a Stateful Widget or a Provider to handle everything: updating the view, performing business logic, calling APIs, etc.

Some move at light-speed, while others linger for decades without much change. We asked our engineers to give us a few of their predictions for digital trends in 2025.
