I am Ahmad Mayahi, a software engineer who builds web applications with PHP and Laravel.
I did not study computer science. I learned by building projects, reading source code, and making every mistake you can make in a production codebase. That background is why I write the way I do — practical, direct, and with zero patience for theory that does not translate to real code.
I have worked on projects of all sizes, from weekend MVPs to large applications maintained by teams over several years. The patterns in this book are the ones that survived — the practices I kept coming back to because they actually made codebases easier to work with.
