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!

Since the .env is not under version control, it often happens that developers are missing new values added by other developers. Also the .env.example is often totally out of date, cause the team forgot to add new values to it. Thats a pain, when a new developer joind the team and tries to setup the project. Often .env files get shared around, send via email or something like that. But this is not realy a generic and solid solution. Best would be, if the .env.example would just be up-to-date! Lets try to configure some githooks to ensure our .env and .env.example always stays up to date!
