From Project Mindset to Product Mindset...
The Laravel Ahmedabad Community invites you to a special in-person meetup focused on a shift that many Laravel developers struggle with, Moving from executing projects to building products.
Most developers are great at writing code. Very few are trained to think like product builders, open-source contributors, or community leaders.
This meetup is designed to bridge that gap.
🎯 The purpose of this panel discussion is simple and intentional:
To help Laravel developers move beyond writing code and start thinking like product builders, open-source contributors, and community leaders.
Instead of talks and slide decks, we're hosting a community-led panel discussion where experienced practitioners share real perspectives and the audience actively participates.
