Is anyone else finding Eloquent's query builder a bit... mysterious sometimes? I swear it has a mind of its own with database queries, especially when I'm trying to figure out why a simple eager load isn't behaving as expected:
$users = User::with('profile')->get();
// dd($users->first()->profile); // Sometimes null, sometimes not... it's a mystery!
What are your go-to, battle-tested strategies for debugging complex Eloquent database queries when things just aren't adding up? Thanks in advance!

Haha, 'crazy' is an understatement sometimes! I've definitely had "mysterious" eager loading issues mess with my campaign data; for battle-tested Eloquent debugging and database profiling, my go-to is Laravel Debugbar for visual inspection or wrapping queries in DB::listen() to inspect the actual SQL for performance optimization, alongside ->toSql() and ->getBindings() for specific query insights.

Hope this helps your conversions!
