On the Cloud side, Taylor breaks down managed queues, sub-second scale-to-zero for everything, and why he'd turn it on for every app.The conversation closes on a bigger idea: Laravel as a multilingual, full-stack application framework — not just a PHP one — and what that means for the community it's about to welcome. Matt Stauffer on X - https://x.com/mattstaufferTaylor on X - https://x.com/taylorotwellLaravel Updates from Laracon US 2026  — Taylor Otwell - https://www.youtube.com/live/0P-VMS7JMQY?si=_kp2ob_OMmo8PSF6&t=24379Laravel Twitter - https://twitter.com/laravelLaravel Website - https://laravel.com/Tighten Website - https://tighten.com/Suggestion Box - https://suggest.gg/laravelpodcast----- Editing and transcription sponsored by Tighten - https://tighten.com/Big thanks to the companies that support the show:Flare by Spatie - http://flareapp.io and Performance Monitoring - Performance Monitoring for Laravel & PHP | FlareLaracon AU - https://laracon.au

Check us out at tighten.com and also by other sponsors you will hear about later in the episode. In this episode, Matt Stauffer sits down with Taylor Otwell, creator and CEO of Laravel, just days before Laracon in Boston, and gets into why Laravel has become such a natural fit for building with AI coding agents.They talk through Laravel Boost, the value of an opinionated, “batteries included” framework when agents are writing the code, and how “vibe-coding” platforms tend to hit a wall that Laravel doesn’t. Along the way, Taylor makes a striking claim: the big shift in programming has already happened. Most of us aren’t writing code by hand anymore, and the open question is just how much we review versus trust.It’s also a candid conversation about craft, deleting experiments without guilt, and Taylor leaning back into being unapologetically himself.Matt Stauffer on X - https://x.com/mattstaufferTaylor on X - https://x.com/taylorotwellVoxacon - https://voxacon.laravel.cloud/Kayla Helmick on the Laravel Blog - https://laravel.com/cloud/customer-stories/how-a-non-technical-built-an-app-with-laravel-cloud-claudeLaravel Twitter - https://twitter.com/laravelLaravel Website - https://laravel.com/Laracon US 2026 - https://laracon.us/Tighten Website - https://tighten.com/Suggestion Box - https://suggest.gg/laravelpodcast----- Editing and transcription sponsored by Tighten - https://tighten.com/Big thanks to the companies that support the show:Honeybadger - https://www.honeybadger.io/for/laravel/Laravel - Laracon US and Laravel CloudLaracon AU - https://laracon.au
