Hi everyone,
They say, hindsight is 20/20 - the gift of hindsight is being able to re-frame your past experiences and stumbling blocks and use it to calibrate your trajectory or share it as a heads up to others going on the same path as you. This week, we have one such blog post where a programmer enumerates four things he could have done differently. New releases are also out this week from Laravel, Symfony and Mailcoach. In the podcast sphere we have new episodes from Free The Geek, North Meets South and one about using a flight simulator to prepare developers for the realities of what they will face on the job on The Stack Overflow.
Finally we have great reads about deep dives into Laravel Queue and how to reduce breaking change in code.
We 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 [email protected].
Do follow us on our social media channels on Twitter and Facebook. You can connect with me on LinkedIn:

All the best,
Adrian
