Laravel has taught me many things about maintainability, but it's mostly "don't write code like Laravel". My favorite is how cache tagging was broken in Laravel, and there was a complete PR presented to fix it, but Taylor just summarily closed the PR and removed all mention of cache tagging from the documentation instead.

I must admit, migrating a 500,000 line codebase from V5 to V10 was an extremely difficult and lengthy process.
