Recently I was helping someone debug a weird issue and I discovered that they had run artisan route:cache and artisan view:cache in their local development environment. This wasn't the cause of their strange issue, but it definitely complicated debugging it.
There is no practical benefit to caching locally. It only gets in the way. In fact, when I asked this dev why they did it, they didn't really have a reason. It was just a habit they did without questioning it.
Route and view caching is a performance optimization that makes sense in production, but just adds complexity to development. You have to be constantly clearing or re-caching any time you make a change, which is very annoying.
Much better to just skip that step and avoid the headaches.
Here to help,
