PHP (and it's community) can survive by outsourcing its thinking to AI, but it will last by building its own intelligence, PHP-LLMS?

I think both, Laravel first then PHP, because they're many concept in Laravel I didn't get it until I learnt PHP, but Laravel is way better to learn and easy than PHP I think.

I think the problem solving and the puzzle is still there, but the real challenge is the business model, it's changed and we need to figure out a new one, especially for the people who build these tools, you guys 🙏🏽 , and I'm sure we will figure out new business models, in this 2026.

Yes it's transforming software development, but it makes learning from here more important than ever to me, we need to keep up and adapt as the tools evolve

Thank you Josh, I enjoyed the course and watched it all in one go. Some parts felt a bit slow or repetitive, or maybe for a non-developer? (Jeffrey Way students here, lol), but at under 10 minutes it was still great.
