These phrases were overused, didn't add any value, and seemed
a bit condescending. People are reading the Laravel docs to
become educated. The docs shouldn't imply that everything

instead of instinctively knowing it already.

I left three instances of "of course" intact, because they were expressing solidarity with a natural reaction to doing something in a more cumbersome way. Most instances of "of course" were merely removed, but a few were replaced with "note that" or "importantly," if it flowed better.
