I personally use the pieces of code or classes from these packages instead of using them entirely. This saves a lot of my time.

I have been introduced with some of the great techniques in laravel with your 'tip of the day'.

I am really confused to invest in role and permission. I am still learning so it gives me some room. I think I will invest time making my own code. Thanks for scaring me.

The complicated topics also, for example, I work on SaaS, I could take any cms from open source but to rework them for my needs would be an issue big time killer apart from that there is other concerns like security, and above all copyright questions or license issues with sub-packages that can be faced.

Damn good advice. I've been lumped with old laravel projects that were stuck in the dark ages cause a ton of the package were abandoned.
I'm a bit of a stickler for control over speed, so evern things like jetstream are not for me (WAY too much happening for me, though I am sure it is awesome). I'll stick to Breeze for now and build it myself.
Luckily my job lets me have a ton of time per project.

Could you make a video about Laravel Lumen, please? Have you used it and what is your opinion on it? For which applications would you recommend it over the full Laravel framework?

[SilverWave]

Packages are great if they are well written and extendable. However, lots of packages use private properties or methods, therefore you can't create a subclass to override pieces of functionality.

Do you have any tutorials for creating packages? I had to write code for out AD login, and I want to build it in a package to reuse.
