I don't think I am particularly talented at programming. I think I have a low pain tolerance for complexity and an interest in simplifying things.

I think a programmer is growing when they are no longer superstitious and they are able to weigh trade-offs. Many growing programmers read important programming texts and become somewhat obsessed with a silver bullet or magic architecture that will make all of their code clean and pure and holy. It doesn't exist. Not in PHP and not in any other language I've seen.

I ran out of tips for the time being! I have few ideas for new ones though. Stay tuned!

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is that I wish Closures were more easily serializable in PHP. Most Laravel features I am pretty happy with overall.

Hmm, I feel like major new features have slowed down across all frameworks as they have matured. However, I think I still keep an eye on Rails the most, as well as the things that Zeit are doing.

Why am I so much better than you at Rocket League? 😇

That would be cool!

Possibly. I will consider any pull request that is submitted.

Laravel should work fine on the Hack language. Regarding the future, I will just continue to listen to the community and try to keep making everyone's lives easier :)
