I wish AI slop blogs would get banned with extreme prejudice. I guess there's a YC company that makes AI slop blogs, so it won't happen?
I'm not so sure that it's full AI. Might have used it to clean up, but she does seem to want us to believe that it isn't. [0] https://www.linkedin.com/in/fagnerbrack/
Can you not ship fast with a much faster language right now using LLMs?
Been using PHP for 20 years and have built multiple startups with it that went from ideas to exits. Today's PHP is better than it has ever been. Are there some things that are rough around the edges? yes ofc. But there is no language that doesn't have that. It's all trade-offs. Last week I switched from Nginx+FPM to FrankenPHP and my god even the deployment experience got 10x better. Safe to say that if you haven't t…

If anything, Laravel has been what has kept PHP relevant. The community (both PHP and Laravel) has continually grown year over year after the sharp decline of everyone’s poor experience with PHP < v5.0, and Laravel has clearly been responsible for that more than anything.
