- mg 2y agoTo get to know Laravel, I forced myself to build a project with it for a few weeks and I did not like it.

There are too many incentives to prioritize making money, which makes it easy to overlook developer experience. I rather use Symfony instead.
- esskay 2y agoSymfony took venture capital years ago, it's no different really: https://www.sourceguardian.com/blog-symfony-gets-boost-from-sensiolabs-funding-post-152-1.html https://www.sourceguardian.com/blog-symfony-gets-boost-from-...
