- esskay 2y agoFor additional context, it's using Laravel, Livewire, Alpine and Tailwind (the 'TALL' stack) - pretty common and a nice stable base.
- oldandboring 2y agoI doubt that will appease the haters. I still think it's funny that we've somehow birthed a whole generation of young developers who will talk shit about the tried-and-true technologies that practically everything runs on, and then go back to reinventing every possible wheel they can find in checks notes Javascript.
- Operyl 2y agoPeople have been hating on this or that language. In particular PHP for the better part of 15/20 years now. It’s just human nature and tribalism at this point I guess. There’s the potential to create insecure code in any language, it just happened most often in PHP because of how accessible and cheap it was for the masses with shared hosting is all.
- esskay 2y agoIt also didn't help that a wildly inaccurate blog post was spread around (PHP: A fractal of bad design) and people took it as gospel, and still do to this day even though its a totally different language these days. PHP pays the bills and these days has fewer novices writing utter junk, that's a plus in my book!
- esskay 2y agoThe easiest way to silence someone who's die-hard over the top in love with Javascript is ask them to compile something they wrote 3 years ago from scratch without a copy of the node_modules directory from its original compilation. Then you get to watch the mountain of errors and ridiculous amount of time wasted.
