Copilot from Github is proving to be a huge killer addition to the my programming work in node.js

Despite limited enterprise level programming knowledge, Copilot is helping me write pretty good code vs. doing the copy, paste, modify from Stack Overflow.

Not a knock on WordPress at all, since it is ubiquitous. But for PHP I would say the "killer app" is actually Laravel.

I get why you think that, but I'd say that Wordpress was a different time. Back when your Squarespace/Webflow/Wix didn't exist yet, this was a "great" no-code solution

I still think WordPress is great (far better than those other options in the space), I just think Laravel was what PHP needed to legitimize it to developers. You can build anything with Laravel as a framework, it's great.
