You mentioned on 1billion.spatie.be that "Laravel-permissions is our most popular package, yet we never use it ourselves." This raises curiosity: How do you manage permissions in the large projects you develop?
Laravel permission is an excellent choice if you need dynamic permissions. As in: an admin should be able to create a type of permission.
For our projects, we don't need that. We know ahead of time which permissions are needed. In that case, using Laravel's standard authorization features is good enough, We mainly do checks using policies.
