+---
+If you’re returning a fully qualified class name, you can use the `class-name` docblock. You can specify a base class or interface between `<>`
+
+And of course, you can also return an array of `class-name`s too 👍

+🔥 Simple typehints and annotations go a long way
+
+Even without any docblocks, this code is perfectly understandable by both developers and IDEs
+
+Writing code like this:
+👉 Prevents bugs using type safety
+👉 Makes the code self-documenting
+👉 Takes only a few seconds to implement

+Does your @laravelphp application have 0 tests? Here is one test you can easily add to get started. It's probably the most important test — in web projects — and it has an enormous value.

+✓ Ensures your application boots. ✅
+✓ Ensures the home page can be loaded. 💨

+⚡️ Database Tip
+
+You don't have to execute multiple queries to calculate different aggregates. With the filter clause you can narrow the rows which should be included for the calculation. So you may need to scan the table only once, the performance impact can be massive 🔥

+🔥Another amazing #Laravel feature!🔥
+
+We often write if statements to check if a value is present on a request or not.
+
+You can simplify it with the whenFilled() helper.
