I had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Taylor Otwell, the creator of the popular PHP framework Laravel.
Not only did he invent this highly popular open-source framework; he also turned it into a very profitable business that helps developers build profitable businesses themselves.
I know very few other open-source devs that have such a clear understanding of market needs and developer requirements.
Taylor seems to be extremely capable of striking a balance between profitable entrepreneurship and community-centric open-source contributions. He intentionally built an ecosystem of free and paid-for tools that is now joined by Laravel Cloud, their latest and biggest tool offering just yet.
In this episode, Taylor will share the Laravel journey from start to today and what the future holds for this powerful PHP framework. Enjoy!
