We talk about resources.

At the end we have a little clip of our guest appearance on North Meets South ([http://www.northmeetssouth.audio/](http://www.northmeetssouth.audio/)) with Michael Dyrynda and Jacob Bennett.

This week we talk about the only thing in programming, Naming Things. Caleb wants to write a Bob the Builder book.

We talk about the routes file, Route:resource(), conditional redirects, and talk about some PRs.

We talk about feature traits in Eloquent Models.

Caleb wants a utopian world where all models are just a list of traits.

Daniel is very reasonable.

We talk about our favorite topic.
