Taylor Otwell is the creator of Laravel PHP framework. He also created Lumen, Forge, and Envoyer. Shoot any questions you want Taylor to answer!
Do you sometimes feel you are building tools but don't have actually enough time to play with them ?
Hey Taylor, thanks for awesome job done with Laravel/Lumen. Can you tell us what will be next big thing in Laravel ? And will Laravel be refactored to use PHP7 strict mode? Thanks for answer!
Any advice you have for someone who wants to contribute to any of your open source projects? (particularly Laravel)
What practises developers tend to do that make reviewing Pull Requests harder on you? I'm not asking about coding practises only, I mean in general.
I read that you're using Trello and Wunderlist to organize your project. I created a SaaS called Workstack (workstack.io) built with Laravel 5.2 that I hope you'd like to try. If you want, consider a free lifetime subscription already yours! :) Since I used the latest version of Laravel and Cashier, how difficult do you think it will be for me to use Spark on it, on a scale from 1 to 10? I'm crossing my fingers really hard in the wait for the magic moment of the Spark release! :)
Thanks again for all your hard work and never stop to amaze us with great tools like Envoyer, Forge and Spark!
Thanks for doing this, Taylor. What's your thoughts on Statamic 2 CMS and using Laravel for flat files?
...and how can I become more zonda?
Alright, thanks for bringing your thought to us and your way of thinking.. As a new tools
What is the best way to star refactoring and how do you think when you have to take this duty on you?
Do you have a idea when Spark would be release and how much it will cost? Do I have to pay for Spark for every different project that I want to use it or just a single pay and I can use it for all my projects?
Hi Taylor, how did you choose to use so many components from Symfony?
What is the best way to approcah when we have to organize ideas and write code. What i meant was, how do you thibk when you have to put everything toguether.
Hi Taylor, glad to see you here. How did you manage to build such a huge framework on your own? I've seen a few videos of yours where you mentioned you made early Laravel version for a personal project while you were in working full-time somewhere else(if I recall correctly). What are the problems you faced while developing Laravel regarding coding practices as Laravel has most cleanest code including well formatted comments. Any tips, resources or suggestions for newbie programmers like me who are mostly dependent on tutorials from Jeffrey Way and StackOverflow.
Thanks
Hi Taylor. Do you have an idea to support continuous integration may be as a Envoyer service. something like PHPCI integration?
Can you talk (type?) a little about starting your business? Was it a lot of late nights at first while you worked a "real job?" When did you finally take the plunge and go off on your own?
Hey Taylor! With so much new stuff going on these days with JS, go, and other new/popular languages, how do you feel about the longevity of PHP and it's place in the future of web development?
What are the big picture things that drive you? Trying to make a better world, just putting food on the table, for the love of the code, that sort of thing?
Your videos from pre L4 days hosted on Vimeo (under Userscape account I think) were great. You should do guest videos on laracasts on the same vein... what say?
Hi, Taylor.
Would like to know, is there any ideas about creating some chunked responses from backend to front like it's in Play framework? Basically allowing serve data as soon as possible for a user without waiting for all functions to finish.
P.S. Yes, there are solutions do it from a front end and request chunks from there, however, I'm just curious if in laravel plans is something like that as it's in PlayFramework.
Hi Taylor,
What tools/apps do you use for wireframing and for project management?
Thanks
Hi Taylor.
What about future of Laravel ? can we use hack language ?
Is there a reason queued jobs serialise php? as this stops it being language agnostic.

Thank you very much for bringing Laravel to PHP world. I had really enjoyed reading your book From Apprentice To Artisan with Laravel 4.
Any plans with Laravel 5 or 6. Love the way you approach the things in the book. Thanks once again.
