Q&A session
summary
A live Q&A that names concrete tradeoffs: why Symfony and Laravel complement rather than strictly compete, the 25 core team members who maintain it, the two releases a year cadence and why that shapes compatibility work. Hear which components landed recently and which may get rewrites — Symfony components (scheduler, webhook, console, finder) — plus notes on monorepo benefits, community contribution rules, native PHP experiments, AI via external APIs, and practical upgrade and maintenance realities.
