Business as usual?
March 19, 2022
The war in Ukraine is lasting already more than 3 weeks. Russia invaded Ukraine because of reasons that seem far from realistic, they violate human rights on a daily basis and the number of reported war crimes climbs rapidly. Every day I turn on the news, the Ukraine tragedy dominates. So what happens on our side?
Inject dependencies into a Magento class ... without using a constructor
March 13, 2022
I found myself at a difficult position: There is this Magento class X that I would like to extend. But the constructor was huge: 20+ arguments. Therefore, creating an extend of the parent constructor would create a mess. I found a more innovative way to extend the class instead.

Magento 2 Backend Development I on-demand training
January 16, 2022
To get started with Magento 2 backend development, you need to know a lot: Ranging from the setup of a development environment to working with DI configurations. For years, I've been training devs already through live training. But all of that material is now available to anyone, through a new Yireo On-Demand training: The Magento 2 Backend Development I on-demand training has gone live.
Magento 2 SearchResult or SearchResults?
January 14, 2022
One thing that has confused me for ages is that in your own custom Magento 2 repository, you can make use of a SearchResultInterface (singular) and a SearchResultsInterface (plural) - both work fine, but which one to actually use? A little writing to copy this from brain to blog.
