I’m not suggesting, I’m saying that conflation is mother of confusion. Conflating request path with file path is not a great idea, especially for new developers

I’m not suggesting, I’m saying that conflation is mother of confusion. Conflating request path with file path is not a great idea, especially for new developers that get a mental model of how web apps work that is completely irrelevant for the rest of their careers.
- hn_throwaway_69 5y agoThere's plenty of large PHP projects that adopt this paradigm. Is it really fair to say it will be completely irrelevant for the rest of their careers? Also, let's not lose sight that this arises in a context of criticism of the model adopted for programming a simple form. This is just a simple one page form. More complex or abstract paradigms or design patterns is overkill.
