You can skip the first couple of emails from my “Beyond WP" newsletter. (They are preserved for posterity anyway).
The first real issue was about local development tooling.

I raved about Laravel Valet. But there was a bunch of links to resources and tools that let you explore the options by yourself.
I've added some new tools as updates like WP Engine's Local, @nicoverbruggen's PHP Monitor and Laravel Herd.
Perhaps something new for you to try here?
