I'm a PHP developer and Laravel enthusiast. Most of my time is spent at Spatie of which I'm the co-owner. At Spatie we use a lot of open-source software: PHP, Ubuntu, Laravel, Composer, Yarn,… are a few of the things we use every day. Whenever my colleagues and I stumble upon a problem that we can solve in a clean way, we extract our solution so other developers can use it. Together with my colleagues I regularly release PHP, Laravel, and JavaScript packages. Those packages have been downloaded more than 100 million times.
