See how Jason McCreary's Blueprint turns a small YAML file into full Laravel scaffolding - migrations, models, controllers, views + tests.
This gives you 100%-covered, conventional code fast, and pairing nicely with AI/Boost for the complex bits.

Love recording this show with our speakers each year.
So many of us in software spent at least some part of our younger years with music one way or another, and it's always fun to get insight into our speakers through the lens of their musical taste.

The Road to Laracon is back for season three.
This season, in line with our 90s theme, all of our speakers will give us a taste of sweet nostalgia, with all of their selected songs coming from the best decade of music (if we say so ourselves).

I’m very excited about coming to Laracon AU! My first time in Australia and my first time travelling this far 😳. But just like my code, it’s time to be more resilient and handle stress better.
See you all in Brisbane!
