From Scrapping an MVP to Landing a Contract: My Internship at Dennenboom
26 Jun 2026 | Basile Aelterman
This summer I did my internship here at Dennenboom. I went in expecting to spend most of my time extending an existing codebase. That's not quite how it went.

PSRs: What They Are And Why You Should Know Them
24 Jul 2026 | Basile Aelterman
Almost every programming language out there has at least some sort of standards and best practices so other developers can more easily read, and understand each others' code. PHP is no different. That's why we have PSRs (PHP Standards Recommendations), so we have some sort of guidelines to follow so our code doesn't become a chaotic mess. In this blogpost we'll cover what exactly they are, why you should know them and we'll also throw in some examples so you can better see the difference it can make in your codebases.
Laravel Basics: Routes, Controllers and Views
24 Jul 2026 | Basile Aelterman
Every request that hits a Laravel app follows the same journey: a route decides where it should go, a controller handles the request and decides what should happen, and a view decides what the end user actually sees. In this blogpost we'll break down that whole journey — from everything you can do with routes, what belongs in a controller, what exactly a view is and how blade components keep your templates from turning into a pile of spaghetti code.

Is PHP echt een verademing voor een Java-developer? Of juist een cultuurschok? Die vraag probeerde ik te beantwoorden terwijl ik de Monitor App voor Dennenboom bouwde. Het resultaat is een applicatie die niet alleen healthchecks uitvoert, maar deze ook real-time visualiseert in kleurrijke charts. Het was een proces van vallen, opstaan, en uiteindelijk een "bewustere architect" worden. In mijn blog neem ik je mee achter de schermen van dit project.
