Viewing model counts in the Laravel Debugbar
Jonathan Reinink has added a very usefull metric to Laravel debugbar
Last week at Laracon US I gave a talk titled Eloquent Performance Patterns. In that talk I used a custom Laravel Debugbar metric I created to track how many Eloquent models were being hydrated throughout a request. I've had a lot of people asking about this, so today I submitted a pull request to the Laravel Debugbar to add this as an official metric.

Using console.table to debug JavaScript errors
If you're debugging an array or an object, try console.table() instead of console.log()! It gives you a muuuuch better visual representation of the data in the console ? pic.twitter.com/5V9TCsBiOK

Find Segfaults in PHP like a boss
Grégoire Pineau explains how you can find the source of a segfault in PHP.
Sometimes, a segfault happens, but you don’t know where, and your PHP installation does not have tools to find it. Or sometime, you think PHP is hanging, but you don’t know where. You may use xdebug, but you don’t want to click so many times on the « next call » button.

Bringing Symfony's Var-Dump Server to Laravel
Marcel Pociot created another great package. laravel-dump-server will transmit all output of dump calls to another port on your system. This will avoid cluttering up the responses of your app with debug output. Here's a gif taken from the readme of the package:

A PHP debugger written in PHP
Joe Watkins, core PHP developer and author of (amongst many other things) ptrheads, is busy creating a PHP debugger written in PHP that you can just composer require.
This isn't just pipe dreams, the PHP code exists, it's alpha quality and largely untested ...There is much to do and you shouldn't design your workflow around this (or any alpha quality software) yet. What you should do is start reading code, testing, and opening pull requests...
You'll find the code of Joe's debugger in this repo on GitHub.

Debugging the dreaded "Class log does not exist" error in Laravel
My colleague Sebastian took the time to write down the solution to a problem many artisans will come across at some point in time. I hope that in a future version of Laravel that error message will be improved so that it makes clear what the actual problem really is.
Every now and then I come across a Class log does not exist exception in Laravel. This particular exception is thrown when something goes wrong really early in the application, before the exception handler is instantiated.Whenever I come across this issue I'm stumped. Mostly it's related to an invalid configuration issue or an early service provider that throws an exception. I always forget how to debug this, so it's time to document my solution for tracking down the underlying error.
Introducing Clockwork 2.0
Clockwork is Laravel package, made by itsgoingd, that can collect a lot of helpful info such as queries executed, views loaded, route used, ... Unlike the popular laravel-debugbar package, Clockwork will not inject extra stuff into the html itself. All collected info is displayed in the developer tools of your browser (you'll need to install an extension first).
Setting up Xdebug with Laravel Valet original
On most of my day to day work I use Laravel Valet to develop locally. When hitting a bug often I just put a dd() statement in the code to quickly inspect what's going on. But when encountering a complex bug this becomes tedious. Wouldn't it be nice if we could add a breakpoint to our code and be…
Configuring and using Xdebug locally in PhpStorm

We assume that you use PHPStorm on a daily basis, and this guide will help to debug your code locally using the IDE. A remote debugging guide will come in the future.
Find out where a query is executed in a Laravel app
The Query Tracer package can help you find out where a specific database query is being called. It works with both Clockwork and the Laravel Debugbar. Here's a screenshot taken from the readme:
EDIT: turns out that Laravel Debugbar can do this out of the box:
