This week @aaronfrancis.com is joined by Jesse Hanley of Bento to talk about building a seven figure business, why he feels less stress now than he did when he started, migrating from Heroku to Planetscale, and more.

Getting hired isn't a game of chance, it's a game of skill. This week @ianlandsman.com's mad because he's read so many garbage resumes - and @aaronfrancis.com thinks he knows why. If you think getting a job is a game of chance, you're doing it wrong.

Right in the middle of a harrowing (and incredible) story, @aaronfrancis.com does what any seasoned podcaster would do. He transitions to an ad read.

@ianlandsman.com and @aaronfrancis.com discuss the most harrowing experience of Aaron's life (complete with the funniest ad transition in Mostly Technical history), talk about Ian's trip to the Laravel Roadshow in NYC, and dive into what's cooking with Solo.

This week @aaronfrancis.com tells @ianlandsman.com that he's on a mission to destroy two competitors: Warp and Conductor.

This year at Laracon US we're hosting...LaraProm?! In a gymnasium!?! @ianlandsman.com's so excited about this idea that he interrupted @aaronfrancis.com's vacation to talk about it.

This Friday at 11:30am Eastern I'll be live with @mattstauffer.com, @ianlandsman.com, and UConn's Joel Salisbury to talk all about finding your first job in tech - how to use (and not use) AI in your job search, how to stand out in a crowded job market, & more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-mX...

I was graciously invited by @mattstauffer.com to join this week's episode of The Laravel Podcast ❤️ We talked about partnerships, community, my obsession with UConn sports (very important), and a lot more. laravelpodcast.com/episodes/the...

This week @ianlandsman.com thinks Claude is doing the right thing with OpenClaw - and you know what? @aaronfrancis.com agrees! "...this is a business....this is not a public utility....they don't owe you access to their service!"

This week @ianlandsman.com & @aaronfrancis.com talk about setting a release date (!) for Outro, huge updates to Solo, a new Cloudflare course, exciting news on the real estate front, and so much more.

. @aaronfrancis.com wonders how are people using 8 agents in a code base? How can you tell the app works? Where’s all this software that’s being built - why aren’t these people shipping! This week on MT, @ianlandsman.com knows why - it’s fake and made up for attention!

This week @ianlandsman.com and @aaronfrancis.com discuss their trip to Laracon EU, the all-new Solo, using the AI SDK for Outro, "poker propaganda", Gen Z Abby's 2004 camera, and so much more.

Thanks to everybody who stopped by the @laravel.com booth at Laracon EU, all of our partners and sponsors, and all of my amazing teammates who spent the last four days with me in Amsterdam 🇳🇱❤️

This week on MT, @ianlandsman.com & @aaronfrancis.com are diving into the future of Laravel & PHP vs. Javascript and/or Python, especially in the era of AI coding 👀 Guess what? They're still pretty bullish on Laravel.

You can't create a new repo from the GitHub mobile app, which makes it annoying to start vibe coding a new idea - so let's use Shortcuts to make this as easy as possible.
