Laravel has always been about letting the framework carry the boring parts, and AI agents take that idea a lot further. Laravel developers are unusually well set up for it.
The conventions give an agent a sensible default for almost every decision, and Laravel Boost now lets it read your schema, routes and logs, and search the docs for the exact package versions you run. It's a good time to be writing Laravel.
What you can't hand off is deciding what to build and checking what comes back. An agent builds exactly what you described, and where the description has gaps it fills them with confident guesses, like a controller with no policy check or an N+1 query that's invisible on your seed data.
In a controlled trial by METR, experienced open-source developers using AI took 19% longer to finish their tasks and still believed AI had made them faster. Closing that gap takes a workflow, and no tool ships with one.
Unlearn teaches these workflows to developers who ship production code with AI.
Free for one weekend
On October 10 and 11 the paywall comes down. Sign up and you get three complete workflows, three full courses and 62 hands-on lessons, with no card required.
Each workflow follows one real feature from idea to production.
- Write a spec an agent can't misread
- Run AI like an execution team instead of autocomplete
- Orchestrate agents, subagents and MCP
- Review what comes back before it gets anywhere near main
The courses go deeper on the foundations, from a working mental model of what AI coding tools can and can't do, to reusable agent workflows, to production RAG systems.
Every lesson is built to run on your own codebase the same day, and nothing is tied to one framework or AI tool. So bring your Laravel app and a ticket from your backlog.

Written by the person who built Codecourse
If you learned Laravel from videos, there's a fair chance some of them were Alex Garrett-Smith's. He started Codecourse as screencasts in 2009 and grew it into a full learning platform with 300,000 YouTube subscribers, and it was acquired in 2025. He now leads the curriculum at Unlearn and builds every workflow you'll use over the weekend.
Unlearn comes from BitterBrains, the team behind Certificates.dev (which runs certification exams for Laravel, JavaScript, Vue, React and Angular developers), Vue School and Frontend Nation. Together they've trained more than 2 million developers. It's written for engineers who already ship production code and would rather build judgment than collect prompting tips.
Get the prep plan before it opens
The Free Weekend runs Saturday October 10 and Sunday October 11, and access closes when the weekend ends. Sign up now and we'll email you a prep plan before it opens, so you can start Saturday morning with a feature already picked.
