🔥 Laravel devs — stop using DB::enableQueryLog()

I just published a quick but powerful tip that most
Laravel developers overlook completely.

Did you know Laravel has 6 built-in Eloquent query
debugging methods?

Most of us write this the hard way:

DB::enableQueryLog();
$users = User::where('active', 1)->get();
dd(DB::getQueryLog());

When you can just do this:

User::where('active', 1)
    ->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')
    ->ddRawSql();

One line. Full raw SQL. No setup. No package needed.

Here's the full toolkit:

Method	What it does
->dd()	Dump results and die
->dump()	Dump results, continue execution
->ddRawSql()	Full raw SQL with bindings, then die
->dumpRawSql()	Full raw SQL, continue execution
->toSql()	SQL string with ? placeholders
->getBindings()	Array of all binding values

I covered all 6 methods with real Artisan Tinker
examples in my latest article.
