Hey friends, Not recording The Panel today (sorry!), but I do have a ridiculous new animated video to show you: This is an inside joke from the Mostly Technical podcast: Ian Landsman (one of the hosts) loves to keep restarting his programming project (outro.fm). He does this by typing `laravel new` (which initiates a new Laravel project) in the terminal. Aaron Francis isn't impressed. (I have a new technique I'm using for these; I'll update this post about it soon) Cheers, PS: thanks to everyone who shows up in chat + leaves comments on Bluesky, YouTube, etc for the show.

Happy Sunday! Here are a few things on my mind... Why is it hard for founders to be successful a second time? In the latest Mostly Technical episode, Ian Landsman asks Jeffrey Way (founder of Laracasts) why he hasn't tried building a second product. Jeffrey: No, because I feel like it just never works. It's almost as if you can launch something and make money; it's like hitting a jackpot in a weird way. And you see it all the time: incredibly successful people try to do it a second time, and...
