Ready for a new adventure: I'm open to work from November! 🔥
Laravel or PHP, full-time or a few days a week, remote from Italy.

Nice milestone, and thanks to everyone who tested it!

So we can have more work in maket for upgrading PHP versions, perhaps also Laravel/symfony etc versions too!

If coming from Herd, you can use this Gist: https://gist.github.com/albertoarena/feddebb87dc48eb3b244835955fa5cf4
Anyone want to give flockphp.com a try? It's a free and open source local development environment for laravel and PHP :)
