The Laravel Podcast

In this episode, Matt Stauffer chats with Nuno Maduro, a prominent Software Engineer at Laravel, about his journey from a traditional developer role to becoming a key voice in the Laravel ecosystem. Nuno shares reflections from his early days, how simplicity has become a cornerstone of his coding philosophy, and what he's learned through co-creating in the open source world. They dive into the evolution of Laravel projects, the balance between building and maintaining software, and the tradeoffs between full stack development and specialized teams. Nuno also discusses the challenges of balancing streaming with a full-time role, his content creation journey, and his latest project, Pokio, an asynchronous library for PHP. Plus, he shares insights into his work on Laravel Cloud and how his role continues to evolve alongside the Laravel and Inertia ecosystems.
