This is awesome. I’m leading an Innovation Team (my background is Finance, not tech) and I work with programmers/developers I’ll print all these tweets and paste them in the wall. It also helps me to understand better their minds. 👍

@jamesmh_dev playing with Coravel today; awesome stuff!

Hopefully it can add some automated, scheduled maintenance to my SQL to @elastic ETL process.
