It is a way for Laravel to monetize to their user base of people who don't really know what they are doing.
- 9dev 2y agoYou’re conveniently ignoring the fact that these same people earn money with what they are doing, despite their not-really-knowing, so that seems like a better business strategy than elitism in an online forum to me.
- ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7 2y agoIt is not elitism. It is a fact that all framework user bases have these type of users. Some call them newbies. Laravel, IMO, intentionally keeps these users at a low information level. Laravel's documentation is sparse, lacking essential information about the general API. This is improving somewhat these days with phpstan promoting wider adoption of documenting types. However, you really need to walk yourself through the framework to understand it, in addition to reading the provided documentation. Also, I am not sure the point that you are trying to make here. Is it that being willfully ignorant of what you are doing is some sort of net good as long as you can convince someone to give you money?
