Hi everyone,
We've gathered all the latest news and updates from the community, and it seems this week in the podcast section the buzz word is 'bug hunt' from the latest PHP Ugly, Laravel news and No Compromises episodes. We also have Brent's latest post on the state of PHP, where it's been and where it's headed.
We have the latest update from Laravel, a preview from PHPStorm and a launch announcement from Inertia. Finally we have a couple of posts sent over by our readers. We do appreciate you sending over content to share with the rest of the community.
We do hope you enjoy this week's newsletter. If you have an article, tutorial or podcast that you would like to be featured in our newsletter, feel free to reach out to us at articles@phpweekly.com.
