How I got hired at @laravelphp is still wild to me. It literally started with a cold message. I cold dm taylor out of nowhere asking him to hire me at Laravel. He didn’t hire me at that time, but that one DM started a conversation. At that time, they were hiring for a few roles, but honestly, I wasn’t the right fit for any of them. I had limited experience apart from what they were looking for. So instead of waiting for the perfect role, I decided to send message anyway. I built a full website explaining why Taylor should hire me at Laravel. laravel.pushpak1300.me It was my version of /brag which @aarondfrancis and @IanLandsman is talking about. A lot of the stuff on that site feels old now because I was at a very different stage 2 years back. But the funny part is, some of the exact things I mentioned in that pitch are things I’m now actually working on at Laravel. That still feels unreal. Your work, your ideas, your side projects, your weird little experiments, they all become a brand pitch without you even realising it. People often ask me - what’s the one thing really changed my career and i think that is building side projects. You never know which side project, cold email, random demo, or small idea can open a door for you. I never imagined myself working at Laravel. But because I decided to be a little delusional guy and send that cold message anyway, it happened. Of course, it won’t work most of the time. But it starts a conversation. With a potential employer, collaborator, client, or someone who can change your career in ways you didn’t expect. So yeah, keep shipping side projects. Keep deploying those random ideas. Keep talking about what you’re building. Market your work a little. And please, Just never stop building.

Laravel developers now get websockets setup in ~40 seconds, for free, using vask.dev and the new composer package 🔥 artisan vask:install will auth with vask.dev, give you a websocket app, and set those details in your .env file so you're ready to go 💪 Coming soon: your agent will register for you, no OAuth needed 😅

1. Add yourself on laramap.dev (we need more Japanese representation there!) 2. Download the Laravel Community App and add me there (scan the QR code below) 3.

We've revamped our content creator! Say goodbye to flickering and missing copy. Every day, we’re dedicated to making Postavel your go-to for social media marketing. Get ready for seamless posting! 🚀 #SocialMedia #Marketing

Have you tried @postavel_ ? I mention it before, as I am struggling to find the time to publish posts on all networks for my own sass products, so I built postavel, all #laravel and #livewire Now, I write a post, adjust to each of networks with Ai, and schedule posting. That it. It's Done!

Happy Monday! This morning I opened @laravelphp project I built 5 years ago. Found what I needed in 2 minutes. Walked away from laptop and realized something - this is one of main reasons I’m still in this job. In programming, you either keep up with the wave or it drowns you. 25 years of that takes a toll, and nobody really talks about it. Laravel saved me from drowning. Same structure every project, conventions everywhere. My head doesnt burn fuel on stupid stuff like “where did they put the config”, I get to think about actual work that matters. And Laravel didnt sit out AI wave either. MCP, integrations, real tooling. So I’m 58 and still building the modern way, not holding on by fingernails. How are you handling it? Whats keeping you in?

@marcelpociot Is that real?

Quick! Everyone who built a markdown reader/editor in the last months can now go and build HTML editors 😅

Can't wait to hang out with all my British friends again this year and show what we've been cooking up @nativephp!

@LaraconUS @freekmurze Yes!!!

Next on the Laracon stage is @freekmurze Freek is exploring patterns behind great Laravel packages and why understanding them still matters. Join us July 28–29 in Boston. laracon.us
