The real sad thing is that we as a industry have not learnt a single thing from this. Deploying stuff on the server is still a nightmare with ever increasing layers of complexity and fragility. SSR on top of GraphQL on Npm on top of mongodb on top of kubernetes on top of docker on top of Linux on top of kvm. And we praise and promote this type of nonsense instead of simplifying stuff. PHP still follows the very simple way. Install LAMP (perfected down to a simple one step script), run certbot, copy code and voila, you're done. PHP and it's community on the other hand is learning from its mistakes. The popularity of Laravel and the clean code it forces you to write is a godsend. So is the work in the community to recommend it to every beginner.
