Michael speaks with Devon Garbalosa, Solutions Engineer at Laravel Atreyu - Becoming the Bull Usher feat. Lil Jon & Ludacris - Yeah! The Road to Laracon…
The theme this year, as I mentioned earlier in the show, is devolution and something that you, I guess, have gone through yourself being an engineer and then now moving into more of a sales-focused role at Laravel.

Okay.
