14 days until Laravel Live UK! Hot take: In-person dev events matter More in the age of AI, not less. AI can answer almost any technical question you have. It cannot replicate the hallway conversation with someone who's been through exactly what you're dealing with right now.

One of the things I enjoy most about being a developer is that writing and structuring code isn't a one way thing. looking at this post by @jdavidsonwebdev.bsky.social we do a lot of similar stuff over at @jumptwenty4.bsky.social so its great to see. How would you structure your Laravel apps?
