As a full time JavaScript developer for the last ~8 years (with some previous Django experience), getting into Laravel has been one of the best things that have happened to me in my professional life.

It's so refreshing to have such a wonderful, well maintained and "batteries included" framework where I can focus on getting things done instead of taking thousands of decisions on non important stuff, tying libraries together and reinventing the wheel every time.

I'm now getting into Livewire + Folio/Volt and damn, feels like cheating for real.
