We want to move quickly, but we want to do it without putting the business at risk. How do we produce software quickly, without taking on additional risk in the world of AI assisted coding, but also AI assisted vulnerability discovery and attacks? No one would say that driving down this road at 3x the speed limit is safe. Reducing speed gives us more time to react to unexpected circumstances. Formula 1 is fast, but one thing they're not selling is recklessness. How does Formula 1 achieve extraordinary speed without accepting extraordinary risk? How can we increase speed when building apps with PHP, without accepting increased risk? Greg Skerman on stage at Laracon AU

Compared to our suburban road, the racing environment is far more controlled. The speed limit can be pushed much further. If we can control our environment, we can allow for significant speed when delivering software. We want to engineer a predictable environment, rather than…
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) prevents the need to manually configure resources. Describe what you want, let the tooling build it for you. Adapt quickly with a configuration change. We use IaC at work and it helped us respond to the PHP RCE CVEs far more rapidly than if we had…
