Laravel & AI Updates - Max Snow

I will summarise key recent developments and highlights from LaraconEU and Dutch PHP Conference 2026

A non-pushy introduction to the JJ version control system - Daniel Buckmaster 

A new git-compatible VCS called Jiujutsu (JJ) is gaining popularity. I'll explain why some people like it, show you how to use it, and will not imply that you need to ditch git.

I will talk about installing the drivers with pecl, using with docker and linux and more!
