This is fine, until someone comes along and asks can we "just" do <this>? Someone tried to foist a Laravel app on me, to update it with some new functionality.

This is fine, until someone comes along and asks can we "just" do <this>? Someone tried to foist a Laravel app on me, to update it with some new functionality. It was so old, I had to setup a Linux box with manually-downloaded versions of PHP and the framework. Not being familiar with Laravel, I needed lots of docs and examples. They were impossible to find, and it turns out Laravel from that long ago doesn't work very much like today's version. You're in luck here, because Rails 3 works pretty much the same way as 6 and 7.
