[kwlug-disc] Cry for help, Laravel/Vagrant/Homestead

Thu Jul 13 09:26:29 EDT 2017

I work with Laravel full time at my day job. If you want to meet for coffee
or lunch we can do that. As Khalid has said the documentation is incredibly
straight forward and should direct you well enough. Feel free to email me.
