I must be going crazy, the amount of posts I’ve been seeing recommending PHP on HN lately is making me doubt my sanity.
I am no latest tech only hipster kid, but making a fast no bloat website this day with modern JS stack is pretty darn easy.
For me it’s hard to evaluate cause I’ve been doing it for years but I’ve recently thought it to a couple of people with no coding experience and they got it.
Seriously, people are terribly close minded about the JS ecosystem and the fame is well deserved maybe but seriously if you have some minimum guidance of what to stick to it’s one of the best and easiest stacks around.
- conductr 4y agoI've observing on HN what seems to be a trend back to self hosting and that essentially is going to lead to the simplicity of the good ole LAMP stack. I see what seems like a lot of fatigue with all the frameworks, dependencies, containers, etc. It was like those things had initial excitement but then longer term were more of a burden/risk/hindrance.
- onion2k 4y agoI love to dunk on PHP as much as the next dev, but if you're recommending JS instead then you're not really thinking about it enough. Pretty much all the issues with PHP apply equally to JS. The cool kids dunk on both of them.
