I was curious why my authenticated user didn't persist to my error pages in Laravel.

Only noticing as the layout used for the error pages (header/footer) is the same as the rest of the site and the top right shows the authenticated user, shows a user nav, logout, etc.

Doing a quick Google search brought up some solutions but not necessarily a reason why authenticated users are not available on the error pages.

The reason not to have the authenticated user on the error page:

• What if the issue is with fetching the authenticated user?

        listen 80;
        server_name *.foo.example.com;

        # We need this to resolve the host, because it's a wildcard.
        # This is google's DNS server.
        resolver 8.8.8.8;

        include /etc/nginx/includes/proxy.conf;

Laravel - Renaming Tables in Production

So I ran into a use-case where I joined a project that had a prefix on all tables in a production database. Now I couldn't just drop all tables and migrate + seed, this is Production we are talking about!

Since the database had a second (much smaller) app's tables in the same database, I had to be careful that I didn't rename those either.

Here's a quick script I threw in a developer-only route which would generate a query which I could manually run on production at the time of deploying the new code which was stripped of hard coded prefixes. Don't forget when you run this to remove any prefixes set for your connection in config/database.php otherwise you'll have some angry customers and "unable to find table" errors.
