This podcast doesn’t actually discuss the open source laravel framework. They only discuss laravels paid products which means it’s nothing but an advertisement for their paid products. They literally started with starter kits. Want to know how that came about? Money, that’s how. Taylor Otwell sold out the open source community the minute he started to make products for laravel that are solely paid. Tony Lea is no better either 😂😂. The devdojo originally attempting to charge for its products but since no one paid for it, they switched gears towards free products via a subscription. I get using laravel to make paid products but that isn’t what their doing. They are making paid products for laravel itself. I’ll bet money that in just a few years laravel will have 2 versions, a free and paid version. Just like their laravel cloud. They want people to pay money merely to launch a laravel app quicker. I tried a live wire starter kit and it was horrible? It doesn’t even come with the same features as laravel jetstream. Why even do it? Money, that is why.
