Taylor Otwell and Caleb Porzio coming this friday


Hey friends,

This Friday, we'll publish a new episode of The Panel with Taylor Otwell (creator of Laravel) and Caleb Porzio (creator of Livewire and Flux).

Here's a sneak peek:

Cheers,

For them, pivoting between projects keeps them fresh and prevents burnout, even when the traditional wisdom is to "just focus." Listen wherever you get your podcasts:...
