And since then tools such as Composer and Symfyony3 have been released. It's been almost 10 years. Hell, even Magento2 isn't that bad, if you can look past the awkward dependency injection they're in the process of fixing.
PHP in 2008 is very different to PHP in 2016.
PHP frameworks in 2008 are very different to PHP in 2016.

- mgkimsal 10y agoJust because those tools exist doesn't mean people use them. There were decent libraries and high quality code back in 2008 (and 2000) but people didn't necessarily use them. It's arguable somewhat easier today, but that's a relative term. If you're FTPing code from BBedit or Dreamweaver up to your godaddy shared hosting and clicking buttons in cpanel... composer/symfony won't help.

At least there in most of the jobs you will deal either with Symfony or with Laravel. > here were decent libraries and high quality code back in > 2008 (and 2000) but people didn't necessarily use them. Please, name a couple from each year. PHP started to mature since PHP 5 and that was released in 2004. While you could have working and tolerable code before that the language was lacking features for high quality code. Maybe if you reframe that as "high quality given the limitations" I'd accept that. But I am seriously curious what would you consider high quality PHP libs from 2000.
