Exactly what one of the creators/marketers of remix would say, with a just crated account. Remix might be good if you want to use React, but it's ages away from what the Rails or Laravel ecosystem will provide you. Things such as

THIS. The same applies if you pick Laravel, in my opinion.

Usually the only thing stopping people to just use a simple, proven tools is other developers looking down at you because you're not using the latest shiny thing.

It's hard if you follow every trend and what every "influencer" suggests on Twitter. Just pick Laravel or Rails and you have right there everything you need with great and cohesive documentation and plenty of books, courses a

Can’t agree more with this. I think the same. And I’ve tried almost everything under the sun.

The only bad part of the PHP community is the people that have never done anything else other than WordPress. The shittiest more careless horrible and bad practices riddled codebases I’ve seen in my life come from WordPress developers. It h

Well, the business is to sell courses and consulting once you make a mess. It’s understandable.

Well, the more complex he makes things the more courses and consulting he’ll sell. It’s just marketing and his business model.

I’ve been a JavaScript developer for the last 7 years or so. Before that I was working on traditional MVC Django apps. This year I was moved to work on a Ruby On Rails project, given I had experience with Django (and some Laravel on the sid
