Nigeria is Big with Laravel. We've had some conferences in the past, and there is another scheduled for next year. I really believe that having an African Community for Laravel will increase the framework's reach across Africa. I really hope to see Laracon Africa someday.

The middle east has a small Laravel community, but we would love u have u there. Probably somewhere in The Emirates.

I think one very nice improvement inertia could get is if you use Inertia with SSR to have the next 2 features:
1. Choose which pages get server side rendered ( Have the marketing pages rendered on the server but not the dashboard )
2. Have the possibility to also start the SSR server when using `npm run dev`.

Japan has a lot of laravel devs and businesses using laravel, especially for its size

I think modules will help big size teams, as for one developer then its not a big deal.
What do you think?

You never ask Taylor about filament ;) I watched all podcasts, nothing about filament. Only Nova.

On the 'has this been written by ai' tool, there are already a lot of those out there and 100% of them return wrong results back all of the time, so they are causing more harm to students as teachers rely on them too much. OpenAI actually had such a tool themselves but they quickly took it off as it was so wrong all of the time.

Matt you're looking good man. Somehow every new podcast video you look slightly prettier lol 😂

[@MattStauffer]

Aw man... lol thank you! I'm gonna blame it on being happily married to a wonderful woman. You can see joy in people, ya know?

[@endlesssummerAMS]

I live in Latin America and buy and sell crypto because the banks' transaction fees are super high. I also use AI to look for typos in my code and to deal with tedious programming.
