I find it funny the author choose Symfony as a framework to "shudder" about. Considering the base of Laravel is Symfony. The rest of the article seems to be more about AI code editing and MUX video players then PHP. So I am not really sure what I am supposed to take from this post.
Why choose between PHP and JavaScript when you can write code in CASSIS, a language that runs in the syntactical intersection of both languages? For example: if (js()) { /* javascript */ } else { /* PHP */ } https://github.com/tantek/cassis
> What happened? Well. Laravel happened (and has been happening). Funny, because Laravel was one of the things driving me away from PHP, in the same way that Rails drove me away from Ruby. PHP was becoming a salvageable language with some of the 7.0 changes, but if you don't dump 1000 pounds of gunk on top to make the easy things hard and there hard things dang near impossible, then you're not a "web artisan", I gues…

For example, in Laravel you have the dependencies sprinkled all around the app and with Eloquent you kind of need to use active-record.
I am not a big fan of Laravel but I think it is a great tool to build websites, not sure about data heavy backends.

Well composite keys are a bad idea, so maybe it had a reason for that.

Back in the day we used Symfony at work. I have a vague feeling that some of my coworkers looked down on Laravel. Less dependency injection, more weird magic.
The content of the article is describing the concept of a full stack framework, as if Laravel is the novel solution to it.
How in god's name is this tripe upvoted on HN?

I don't know what to say, just that I wish I hadn't read this code
For more than 1 decade Silicon Valley bros considered PHP a bad,irrelevant, legacy programming language.
Now, with a PHP framework receiving millions in funding, PHP is cool again.
