The gap between having an idea and putting it in front of real users keeps getting smaller.
If there's a side project you've been sitting on, build it.
If you've never tried Laravel and want to give it a shot, we made a prompt for you to paste into your agent. It tells the agent how to get started with Laravel, and even how to install PHP if necessary: https://t.co/VvqEH7MOYa

- architecture and system design
- product and real-world decision-making
Submit your talk👇https://t.co/OVetxqedwp
