[How to Prepare](#how-to-prepare) Unlearn.dev Is Free This Weekend — Here's What Laravel Developers Get --------------------------------------------------------------------- AI coding tools are everywhere, but most developers are still figuring out how to use them without slowing down. On **October 10 and 11**, [Unlearn.dev](https://unlearn.dev/?friend=LARAVELNEWS) is dropping its paywall entirely for the weekend, giving you free access to its full curriculum — no credit card required. ### Why Laravel Developers Are Already Well-Positioned Laravel's conventions give AI agents a sensible default for almost every decision. Tools like Laravel Boost can read your schema, routes, and logs, and search the docs for the exact package versions you run. That's a genuine advantage. The catch is that an agent builds exactly what you described. Where your description has gaps, it fills them with confident guesses — a controller with no policy check, an N+1 query that's invisible on seed data, or a missing validation rule that only surfaces in production. A [METR-run controlled trial](https://metr.org) found that experienced open-source developers using AI took **19% longer** to finish tasks, yet still believed AI had made them faster. Closing that gap requires a deliberate workflow, not just a better prompt. ### What You Get During the Free Weekend Sign up before the weekend opens and you unlock: - **3 complete workflows** — each follows one real feature from idea to production - **3 full courses** covering mental models, reusable agent workflows, and production RAG systems - **62 hands-on lessons** designed to run on your own codebase the same day The workflows cover practical ground that matters for production Laravel apps: - Writing a spec an agent can't misread - Running AI as an execution team rather than autocomplete - Orchestrating agents, subagents, and MCP - Reviewing AI output before it gets anywhere near `main` Nothing is tied to a single framework or AI tool, so you can bring your Laravel app and a ticket from your backlog. ### Who Built the Curriculum The curriculum is led by **Alex Garrett-Smith**, who started Codecourse as screencasts in 2009 and grew it into a platform with 300,000 YouTube subscribers before it was acquired in 2025. If you've learned Laravel from video tutorials, there's a fair chance some of them were his. Unlearn is a product of **BitterBrains**, the team behind Certificates.dev, Vue School, and Frontend Nation. Together they've trained more than 2 million developers. The content is written for engineers who already ship production code — not for developers collecting prompting tips. ### How to Prepare Access opens Saturday October 10 and closes when the weekend ends. Register now and Unlearn will email you a prep plan before it opens, so you can start Saturday morning with a feature already picked from your backlog. **Key takeaways:** - Free access runs October 10–11 only; no card required - Includes 3 workflows, 3 courses, and 62 lessons - Lessons are framework-agnostic and run on your own codebase - Curriculum is built by Alex Garrett-Smith (Codecourse founder) - Backed by BitterBrains, which has trained 2M+ developers - Register early to receive the prep plan before the weekend opens [Register for the Unlearn Free Weekend →](https://unlearn.dev/freeweekend?friend=LARAVELNEWS) --- *Source: [Laravel News — Unlearn.dev goes free for a weekend, October 10 and 11](https://laravel-news.com/unlearndev-goes-free-for-a-weekend-october-10-and-11)* - [AI workflows](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=AI%20workflows) - [Laravel](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Laravel) - [developer education](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=developer%20education) - [AI coding](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=AI%20coding) - [Unlearn.dev](https://www.msaied.com/public/articles?search=Unlearn.dev) Frequently asked questions --------------------------- What is included in the Unlearn.dev free weekend?During October 10–11, you get free access to three complete AI workflows, three full courses, and 62 hands-on lessons.
