What a great conversation. Thanks for sharing so many great insights.
Great this approach to content, I'll check out the others in time, new subscriber.
Another fantastic episode, thank you both. I really found the Laravel community very approachable and always willing to help.
Aaron is a gem that must be protected 💛
What a great story, thank you Matt. Michele and Mathias you are a delight to listen to.
Yo Caleb you look rad with a beard. Keep it.
This wast 🔥 I'll be there for all episodes 💪
I really enjoyed this. Thanks Aaron and Matt.
My recommendation of a book for new dev leads: Leading Snowflakes. Helped me a ton when I was in that transition.
Can confirm: never used PlanetScale, will follow Aaron to the end of the earth! Love this!
Nice podcast, enjoyed it! 👍🏻
Thanks for listening
Great stuff. I have a slight disagreement that it’s wise for companies to support open source developers. Maybe in some cases and in particular it’s worked very well for Taylor and Laravel, but as a system rather than on a per case basis is not the right way to think about it. The reason is based on something you said that will be the clue. You said people say they don’t have time and you sort of casually threw in there “because of hobbies” as if that were some casual trivial reason. It’s not trivial. How a person chooses to use every moment of their time whether on raising a family or spending it on hobbies (or ranting in the CZcams comments) is a reflection of their values. Anyone who says “I really value this open source thing I’m working on but I don’t have the time” is lying. Paying them to work on something they have shown isn’t highly valued is wasting time and money. It worked for Taylor because we know that if it weren’t for Ian (and he said this) he was absolutely driven to do it with it without Ian’s help. If you’re going to support developers in that way, do it not because they can’t do it without your help but because they are doing it with or without your help and it would be great to be a contributor on a journey they are already on. <end rant>
What's Caleb sipping on?
I got inspired a lot from this. Awesome talk ! Thank you 🙏
Very inspirational. Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
This episode was absolutely fantastic - I love the way you both talk so eloquently. Great insights. I run a podcast too but I just ramble on and on until Jon stops me from talking 🤣
"Self-employed educator" - love this framing.
