Customizing outgoing email
Over Engineered
07/07/23 • 83 min
Most teams have encountered this basic scenario:
Your application sends out a periodic report to a specific person in the company. Then, at some later point, either another team member wants to start receiving a copy of the report, or you need to remove the original recipient and add a new one.
With a standard Laravel app, you're probably going to need to make this change by deploying a change—either to the environment, or a config file, or the Mailable class itself.
In today's episode we dig into ways we could make it possible for non-technical users to manage outgoing email messages: from the recipient(s), to the message content, to even the logic that determines when and if a message is sent.
Let's talk APIs w/ Steve McDougall
Over Engineered
06/20/24 • 102 min
Steve McDougall (aka JustSteveKing) is known as the "API guy" on Twitter. In today's episode we start with the question, "what if the best option is just a single page app with a good, RESTful API?"

Design Patterns w/ Mary Perry
Over Engineered
10/18/24 • 75 min
Design patterns can be very useful, but can also be weaponized as a way to "prove" that someone is doing something the "wrong" way. Mary has been thinking a lot about the good side of knowing design patterns, so we sat down to chat about them.
The dreaded status column w/ Daniel Coulbourne + Cheyne Rood
Over Engineered
04/19/23 • 86 min
Over Engineered is all about those things that bug you but you never get a chance to "solve." Today's episode is about the dreaded "status" column.
This is another topic that most developers will hit over and over. You have a model. You need to track the status. You add a status column, and then later a status timestamp "accepted_at", and then later an "accepted_by" column—and each time you cringe and wish there was a better way.
Today we discuss a better way... maybe?
The Art of Pairing with Strangers w/ Ben Holmen
Over Engineered
08/26/24 • 59 min
Ben Holmen started his Pair-amid scheme as an experiment in meeting new people and experiencing new code. He shared his calendar with the world, and booked pairing sessions with 15 complete strangers. The outcome? A bunch of new friends and new experiences.
In this episode, Ben and Chris talk about pair programming, side projects, and how to find fulfillment and social connection as a remote programmer.

Verbs vacation (part 1?) w/ Daniel Coulbourne
Over Engineered
09/14/23 • 84 min
And now for something completely different...
In this episode, Chris and Daniel sit down to talk about a new event sourcing package they're working on called Verbs.
Perfecting lifecycle hooks w/ Caleb Porzio
Over Engineered
11/07/23 • 76 min
In today's episode, Chris and Caleb sit down and try to imagine what the perfect "hook" implementation might look like. Laravel, Livewire, and the upcoming Verbs package, all have to allow for hooking into logic at specific points, and each package has to handle this in its own unique way. What if there was a canonical way to hook into the lifecycle of a package that worked across the whole Laravel (and maybe beyond?) ecosystem?
Side Projects w/ Joe Tannenbaum
Over Engineered
09/20/24 • 56 min
Joe Tannenbaum is thinking about starting a podcast about side projects. So we took an afternoon to talk through what that might look like.
02/02/24 • 69 min
Complex view logic can be hard to get right—particularly in server-rendered templates like Blade. We recently had to decide just how much a Laravel Blade component should do, and decided to hash it out on the podcast.
Burnout w/ Ian Landsman
Over Engineered
07/03/24 • 76 min
Today we take a break from over engineering to talk about burnout. Both Chris and Ian have been working on the same products for multiple decades. We sit down to talk about that and what to do about the kind of burnout that comes from working on the same thing for so long.
