Nuno’s talk was my favorite at Laracon 2025, and it was because of the energy and passion that just bubbles out of him
“he went from being a developer to wanting to become an influencer, and it’s disgusting.”
i wanted to address this, and give a few words for those you got “disappointed” when find my online personality on livestreams
not everything i make is going to be for everyone, especially video content that is fast-paced and a little chaotic
and i can understand how you might expect that behind the code and tools i wrote there’s some super serious, polished person (and you may get disappointed)
truth is, i’ve always had a bit of that “kid” energy in me; the people close to me know that’s just who i am; i’ve kind of always been that way
i also genuinely love this style of content. it’s the kind of stuff i enjoy watching, and it’s the kind of stuff i enjoy making. i totally get that it won’t be everybody’s cup of tea, and that’s okay
one thing i’ve learned these past few months is that making things i actually enjoy and have fun matters more than making things that only performs better
and i do hear you; i definitely don’t have it all figured out yet. i’m learning as i go, getting some things right, getting some things wrong, and trying to be a little better each time
