Since all Laravel tests are transaction-based and are getting rolledback after the test is finished, there is really no need to migrate the whole table structure from scratch every time you do a test. Here RefreshDatabaseFast comes into play, which only migrates:fresh if your migration files have been changed.
It was incredibly inspiring to meet so many creative and well-known developers. Meeting all the programming gurus you only know on the screen in person was somehow very interesting. Once you think, wow there is really Taylor or the guys from Spatie in front of you and then you realize that they are just people like you and me and suddenly it doesn't feel so far away anymore and you think, yo I can do that too! D I notice in any case again a proper motivation boost after the Laracon and was glad to be there and to have met so many new people!
