Loved contributing to the video! Keep it up

Just so you know, the entire web development kind of cycled back to the good old PHP way of doing things. PHP is an incredible language.

[eptic-c]

Saying that php code is not readable because you write your logic in a php file that contains both logic and presentational layer is the same as writing your javascript on the event handlers of html elements. ( like onclick="<javascript code here>" )

[dgxo]

“and as you can see”, shows the code for half a second while scrolling randomly so nothing is visible, “this code is hard to read”

[MrRaitiz]

What an awful conclusion ahahaha.

Then you have Theo from t3 who hates CORS, because the fkin JS backend framework (Next.js) does not handle the simple flow of CORS elegantly. While PHP frameworks have this functionality built in. PHP frameworks are so much more mature than ANYTHING on the JS side for backend.

php hater means that they are newbies. PHP is a language you must know if you are a web developer. Almost 80% of websites online are built with php.

[supersambat]

they can say anything to PHP, but with PHP I made living

[JustKatoh]

I really don't think a language made of a thing should be hated.
Everyone hates php because they do not use it properly, it's actually one of the most efficient languages out there, as long as it's 7.4+
Why don't people hate on python? It's unironically slower than php, much slower, but people still write whole stacks in Flask, why? It's a language made for cobbling shit together so that you can test it quickly and prototype not put up in production...

Idiots keep complaining about php when they're using php lower than 7 and try and make stupid stuff such as games in it.
Idiots love python, even though it's slower than php and use it in production??

What has this world come to? I have 10 years experience in php, java and in the last few years golang... and the only people that like python and hate on php are complete beginners or do programming as a job only and have no passion for it.

[ExtraNullByte]

I can get so much done with 10 lines of php code that other languages can only dream of, no compile, no hastle, no binary, just works.
does it have downsides? yes, debugging is one of those, but devs debug in prod, so it's all good. Jokes aside, PHP has its downfalls but it doesn't make it any less of a language compared to others, real programmers see it as another tool to get the job done and we pick tools best of the job and sometimes it's PHP. People that hate the language are script kiddies that don't know how to use it, slapping it in HTML and then finding it confusing and then end up hating it, if you have time to complain about a language then you are not doing your job correctly =D

[iVirtuall]

this man told a lie in the first sentence y'all haters

[meme_me]

bro are you living in 2012 ? also who uses Native PHP for full-stack like the example you showed well unless its for a simple small project

[busaonopontoerrado]

A language is just a tool. If you can solve problems with it, than it's good. There's no sense to me in loving or hating a programming language. It's like "I love my hammer, but I hate my screwdriver"

[nbotz]

PHP is not really or no longer terrible if you stick to the latest versions. And this is said by someone who, over two decades ago, wanted nothing to do with programming at all.
Plot twist: The same guy, me, now earns his living as a full-stack dev. 🤷‍♂A bit like the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street: languages, languages, more languages please.

But yes, PHP, like any other language, can be terrible if you only have a rudimentary understanding of it. Nonetheless, an entertaining video and a like from me.

[hellodefhellow]

Lol im tired of javascript dependencies so might switch to something like php or rails

[lucasvillani]

PHP has a function for almost everything, is such a mature language

[DEBUGENTITY]

PHP is the best.. Even next js now using php type routing

[Ed.E]

PHP is goated when you use it right frfr. It's suprisingly powerful

[arjix]

Ok, lets be honest here, PHP 8.1 and above is great, i got no complaints there

But when most websites written in it use PHP 7.3 and below, or even PHP 5, things start to get hard.

Also, you dont need laravel to make easy to read/maintain + dynamic code for a website, you just need experience in PHP, just like with any language, you need experience if you want to skip the use of any library.

[Code_Capital]

All my homies love PHP (we only write code via Artisan commands)

[RicardoSilva-hker]

I just have something to say: "No longer deprecated"
