This week marks the official end of life of Laravel 7 and it will not receive any new security fixes from this point forward. If you are still using it, then it's a good idea to set aside some time and update your app to Laravel 8 which is the latest, and will continue to get security updates through September 2022. Later this year Laravel 9 will also be coming out and that will be the next LTS release that will run through 2024. For complete details on how the release process works check out our post outlining everything.

Language in Dev Culture
How we use language in development-centric circles is as important as the code we design and the sprints (development iterations) we plan. Especially as many workplaces have transitioned to full-remote (temporarily or permanently), it's more important than ever to reflect on *how* we communicate with each other. Just by rethinking how we phrase things in writing or over calls and video chat, we can make drastic productivity improvements.
