The Laravel Podcast brings you Laravel and PHP development news and discussion. Season 5 consists of Matt Stauffer interviewing the creators of the most popular packages in the Laravel ecosystem.
How a Non-Developer Builds and Ships Laravel Apps with AI Agents
In the Season 7 finale, Matt Stauffer talks with Sam Sappenfield, senior field marketing manager and two-time Laravel team member, about her unlikely path from athlete to journalism grad to marketer to Laravel's first dedicated events hire.
They get into why she left, why she came back, and how Laracon US talks on agentic programming turned her into a builder. Sam walks through shipping a Laracon photos app on Laravel Cloud, a Stripe-and-Printful generative art t-shirt store, and why building ruined HubSpot for her.
