Do you ever look at the code that was written by other developers and see the clean, concise, almost-looks-like-english syntax? How the heck did they write something so clean?
In this talk we'll talk about my journey to writing clean, maintainable code. And how you can too. It's really easier than you might think!
After we demo the concepts with Laravel/PHPUnit, we'll see how you can apply it elsewhere. WordPress, JS, Go, etc. Start at the finish line and your code will be that much easier to read in the future!

Great talk! Focused, plenty of code examples, but moved along at a snappy–or dare I say, _sassy_– pace.
Very much enjoyed this talk. The approach he demonstrated already aligns with my own coding tendencies, but the framing as "wishful thinking" driven development was delightful, succinct, and a great on-ramp for getting into TDD.
Did a good job of showing us what options Laravel offers to help us get from no code to some skeletons but it really didn’t show us TDD — just how to write a test for code that already exists.
Great talk, appreciate the focus on code. I think this was a little more of a Laravel-focused talk than a TDD-focused talk. But that's OK, you have to have a base to build on. One thing I like to mention whenever I talk about TDD is that it's just another tool in the toolbox, it's not the be-all-end-all strategy.
