Great episode! I totally agree, it's hard to bring people to Laravel once they've been using a different stack for a couple of years. Not sure how it works in US, but here in Argentina I bet many universities and courses platforms would be open to include Laravel in their study programs if there is some kind of support, partnership, or teaching material provided in return. That'd be a great place to bring people on board since early stages.

I never understood how people can complain about PHP as a poor language and go full-in with JavaScript. Probably I am a stupid developer but developing a complex application in JS as a one man show is a nightmare for me. On the other hand PHP always delivered for me.

Why doesn't Laravel the company, support PHP Foundation?
