Great talk, Steve knows laravel like the back of his hand, very much a whirlwind tour of laravel and building an simple API with a query system.
Helping people understand using V1, V2 now is great, having built a Restful API using Lumen, I made the mistake of not doing this upfront. This approach is more flexible, closer to graphQL (but easier to learn)
This was very impressive, thank you!
