The Laracasts Snippet

I didn't come to this decision lightly. It took me most of 2025 to reach this conclusion, but here we are. I'm done. Let me explain.

Let me tell you a story about the programming-induced anxiety that my former self once felt. If you are constantly online, you will have the impression that you are constantly falling behind. But...are you?

Should you learn PHP first or jump straight into Laravel? 🤔 It’s a question every newcomer asks, and in this episode, Jeffrey breaks down both sides of the debate. We’ll talk about the benefits of mastering PHP basics, the faster “time to first win” that Laravel offers, and how beginners can balance learning without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you’re just starting with HTML/CSS or ready to build your first CRUD app, this video will help you figure out the best path forward. 💻✨ Share your thoughts in the comments — what worked for you?

In the last year, the way we program has changed dramatically. Perhaps, more dramatically than at any other time in my career. We can thank AI for that. So that begs the question: how does Laracasts fit into this new environment?

In this episode, we dig into the subject of AI... and whether it's going to steal your job or not. Don't worry: no bait in this video. Just an honest conversation about where we are, and what it all might mean.
