​Laravel Greece – Now in Thessaloniki!

​After many years of organizing Laravel meetups in Athens, we're excited to bring the community together in Thessaloniki for the very first time! 🎉

​In this special meetup, we'll explore powerful tools and practices that can elevate your Laravel development experience. We're thrilled to have Laravel as our main sponsor, alongside HackTheBox who will be supporting our community once again!

​Don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter (https://laravel.gr/s/subscribe) to receive updates about news, meetups, and more from the Greek Laravel community.

​Talk No.1: Tests are part of your codebase

​In this engaging session, we will shift our perspective from "tests slow us down" to "tests speed us up." We'll explore what we often overlook when writing tests and how we can leverage them to develop new features faster and more effectively, using them as an ally rather than an enemy. If you hear the word "tests" and think, "not again...", then this talk is definitely for you!

​Nikos is a freelance Laravel developer and Elasticsearch expert working mostly on Upwork with clients from Germany, Switzerland, and the USA.

​Talk No. 2: Boost Your Workflow: AI-Powered Code Generation with Project Context

​AI tools have long been part of our daily lives – but what if AI didn't just blindly spit out code, but actually understood your entire project? With repomix (JS) and the PHP version repophp, that's exactly what you get: context-based code generation directly for your Laravel projects. Less boilerplate, more focus on the actual logic.

​In this dynamic session, we'll demonstrate how to generate clean, structured code with just a few prompts – code that also recognizes your project structure. It's almost magic!
