  • Ahead of the rest

    I mean…just due to the title alone, and the fact that so many of the OG Laravel folks have been involved in this podcast…it’s maintained this ability to always be fresher than the rest of podcasts in the Laravel ecosystem. Unlike other shows where you listen to things happening now, this show is discussing things that *will* be happening in the future. It’s always a great insight in what to expect from the Laravel ecosystem when listening to this podcast.

  • Interesting Podcast, but I think it could be better:

    I enjoy listening to this podcast, and I think you bring up very interesting topics of conversation. However, I think you should allow your guests to speak more.

    Thank you.

How a Non-Developer Builds and Ships Laravel Apps with AI Agents
Q: Can you share your origin story and what led you to Laravel initially?
Sam explains growing up as an athlete, shifting to journalism, and moving into marketing through an internship, which gradually expanded into content marketing, marketing ops, and ultimately events—leading to his unique role focusing on Laravel events and field marketing.
Taylor Otwell on Why Laravel + AI Pair so Well, and the Future of Programming
Q: What do you think the future is for programming, both for developers and for non-developers?
The future involves fewer people hand-coding every line; instead, developers act as architects and guides for AI agents, with high-level goals and supervision shaping long-running projects. Review may become more about overseeing outcomes and architecture than line-by-line code, while still requiring a solid understanding of core technologies.
Abby Gilson on Laravel’s Events & Laracon US Boston
Q: What does Laracon US look like this year in Boston?
