@LaraconUS
would have been impressive. However, there were so many but wait there's more moments that it was quite a tour-de-force! To top it off he launched 3 live on stage!
Incredible!

I was so nervous about the 8 hour layover in Delhi. I got in at 3am local time, and I wouldn't have felt comfortable sleeping by myself. However, it was the most lovely layover!

You don't have to be an expert to give a talk, and you don't have to have the talk planned before you submit 💜
There's often a lot of hesitation in submitting to a conference because you don't have a talk when submissions open.
Sell the idea of the talk; the event is usually months after the selection is over.

Some of the most frustrating projects I've worked on are ones where they try to decouple "just in case".
@dr4goonis
@benjamincrozat
@JustSteveKing
The biggest Laravel app I did was started 6 years ago and is still running just fine. Super highly coupled to the framework.
I think it's a myth that coupling is for "quick short projects" and decoupling is for "serious business projects."

Love that more people are trying Laravel and realizing how amazing it is! 💜 The developer experience is just unreal!
Okay call me a noob, but I just had a life-changing experience with PHP.
I installed Laravel, then Laravel Jetstream, and then Laravel Spark. After ~2 minutes of configuring, I have a dashboard, a fully working Stripe integration with users, teams, 2FA, and API auth.
