Meet Taylor Otwell — from solo dev to creator of Laravel, the beloved #PHP framework. When he created Laravel in 2011, it wasn't meant to become a massive #opensource community - he simply needed better tools for his own projects. For a decade, he bootstrapped Laravel while maintaining his "underdog mentality" in the PHP world. He stayed deeply involved with the community, spending his first 90 minutes each day managing GitHub pull requests. Last year, he raised $57M from Accel to take Laravel to the next level. From zero revenue to quarter million daily downloads - what drove Taylor to keep building when no one was paying attention? Watch the full conversation to discover the mindset that built a beloved community!
