I'm founder and CEO at Tighten, and an author, podcaster, speaker, and teacher in the Laravel world. I love to teach about Laravel and the connected technologies and processes we use at Tighten to build and rescue web apps and dev teams.
Video Description
In this episode, Evan You, full-time creator/project lead of open source projects Vue.js and Vite, talks with us about open source software and how to turn a passion project into a career. We discuss the unique balance of creating and maintaining a free product while also trying to make a sustainable living off of it, as well as the conveniences of being beholden only to yourself in your job. --- - Evan You's Twitter - https://twitter.com/youyuxi - Evan You's Website - https://evanyou.me/ - Evan You's GitHub - https://github.com/yyx990803 - Become a Sponsor to Evan You - https://github.com/sponsors/yyx990803 - Vue.js Twitter - https://twitter.com/vuejs - Vue.js Website - vuejs.org - Vite Twitter - https://twitter.com/vite_js - Anthony Fu's Website - https://antfu.me/ - Anthony Fu's GitHub - https://github.com/antfu - Taylor Otwell's Twitter - https://twitter.com/taylorotwell - Tim Urban: Inside the mind of a master procrastinator | TED - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU - Why Procrastinators Procrastinate - https://waitbutwhy.com/2013/10/why-procrastinators-procrastinate.html - Tailwind UI - https://tailwindui.com/
