Magic methods are okay in the right context

Update: 2024-05-28

Description

"Magic" methods and properties show up several places in Laravel, as well as third-party packages. They can make certain things easier and less verbose, but there is a trade off. In this episode, we discuss a few different contexts where we like and avoid magic accessors.

We'd really appreciate it if you share the show with other Laravel devs.
