@laracasts2020 I ran into this too. I looked it up and it seems like you need to run:

sudo chmod 600 [name-of-key-file]

from within your public instance.

Outstanding lesson! Making AI do good UIs is super tricky, and I love this approach of starting up with a design styleguide. I've had success with a similar approach.

Essentially, it's providing context once again, but in terms of design decisions and opinions! 🤙

I've noticed that some GSAP animations and elements may not work properly, or even display, if a user is using Ad blocking. That would be a consideration when designing with it.

Definitely test with a cleared cache and Ad blocking in place to see if visitors may have problems seeing or interacting with your content.

A series similar to Jeff’s “PHP for Beginners”, where it starts simple and slowly grows into more advanced topics, would be amazing to have for vanilla CSS.

There’s a lot of Tailwind content on Laracasts, which is great, but having a modern, ground-up CSS series would really fill a gap. I think you’d be a great person to teach it since most of your courses already lean toward frontend fundamentals.

content => 'poly relationships are cool'
That could be taken in a couple different ways

My sides 🤣

After digging a bit through the Laravel Docs I didn't really find the 'implicit' way you created an accessor on the Pivot Model. However, I did find an explicit way. I presume those two are equivalent and that the 'implicit' is using some sort of 'magic' under the hood.

My question is if the Laravel Documentation is missing the implicit how can we learn more about them and how they work?

@JeffreyWay

Spending 20 hours on a single job application is egregious and quite frankly ridiculous. Most job postings demand a myriad of qualifications for roles that simply don't need them. If someone were to actually follow your advice, they shouldn't be applying to the vast majority of postings out there.

The "numbers game" you're criticizing isn't something applicants chose, it's a behavioral adaptation that emerged as a direct response to this broken environment. It's a vicious cycle: as the job market deteriorates, people become more desperate and apply to even more positions, which overwhelms hiring managers, who then deploy AI to scan CVs. Now we're dealing with all the additional problems that come from having a machine as the first point of contact.

Besides that you have skipped the elephant in the room like the Junior Jobcalypse or the ongoing AI disruption that is fundamentally reshaping the hiring landscape.

While your advice sounds nice it increasingly belongs to a world that no longer exists.

Completely out of touch get out of your bubble.

I am not even looking for a job and this sounds exasperating and depressing, can't imagine if someone really needs the job and are looking. Maybe these things are only meant to be done for a specific job that you really, really want get and not for every single potential job because it is just impossible. It is called "job hunting" not "job luring".

I'd rather apply to 50 positions a day with the same resume and hope for the best than spend a couple of days conceptualizing, designing, developing a website for a specific role, only to find that applications are closed the moment the website build is complete, or even if I do send it through, not receive any reply at all.

And doing all of this stuff would not really guarantee the candidate a job anyway, but it would make sorting through the applications easier for the recruiter. So it is actually helping the recruiter more than the candidate. So it makes sense coming from you now because I assume you do more job applications reviewing than actually applying in the way you described.
