100 Laravel Tips, SaaS Generator and Short Videos

Somehow I realized that, while sharing a lot of tips on Twitter/Youtube, I forgot to update an e-book I've released back in 2018, with 40 Laravel tips at the time. Then in 2019 it was bumped to 60 tips, and this time I've challenged myself to get to 100!
