In the next few weeks we'll be kicking off work on new Laravel starter kits. Here's what I'm thinking... I don't think the starter kits should be packages. Instead, I think they should just be GitHub repositories you clone. All of the code lives in your application, no "install" commands. 🔨

I think I had a migraine Monday. It was awful. I just laid in bed all day. It is pretty rare for me to throw up but I did Monday. Thankfully I already sleep with an eye mask so I just used that during the day to keep out lights.

This was the most moving talk I have ever seen. The bravery and vulnerability Marty showed discussing his struggles was incredible, I had tears down my face the whole time + off/on for the next hour. The standing ovation was very well deserved, and the content personally resonated. Well done mate ❤️
