A Week So Busy Even My Laptop Asked for a Day Off!

Let me tell you, this week has been a rollercoaster ride. 🎒

Monday: The "12-Hour Shift Marathon" πŸ•›

Monday kicked off strong. By strong, I mean 12 hours of non-stop work. I think my chair now has an imprint of my soul. πŸ˜… Every time I thought I was done, something else popped up! But hey, at least I managed to tackle some Laravel domain work. Writing domain logic? Easy peasy! πŸ’»

1// Laravel domain stuff β€” smooth as butter!
2public function handleDomainStuff($request)
3{
4 return DomainLogic::process($request);
5}

Then came the real challenge...

Tuesday: Google Authentication, but with a Twist 🧩

You know how Laravel Socialite makes Google authentication sound like a breeze? Well, it is... unless you're dealing with multiple domains and a central point of failure. Trying to manage Socialite redirects across different domains was like trying to teach a cat to play fetch. 🐱

1use Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite;
2Β 
3// Seems easy, but not with multi-domain redirects!
4public function redirectToGoogle()
5{
6 return Socialite::driver('google')->redirect();
7}

Pro tip: Remember to triple-check your redirect URIs, or you'll be pulling your hair out wondering why Google thinks you're an imposter.

Interns, Interns Everywhere! 😡

And don’t get me started on managing interns while juggling all this. I spent more time explaining the difference between git fetch and git pull than I did coding. At this rate, I’ll be adding Intern Wrangler to my LinkedIn profile.

Wednesday to Friday was basically more of the same, but with slightly fewer hours and more coffee.

Friday: Wrapping Up with a Smile 😎

By Friday, I was down to a solid 8 hours, but still, no day off in sight! My weekend plan? Sleep. πŸ’€

Conclusion? Multi-domain authentication isn’t for the faint-hearted, but hey, if I can survive this week, I can survive anything! πŸŽ‰


Hope you enjoyed the chaos! Time to treat myself to a well-deserved break... or at least a second cup of coffee. β˜•
