I think as a backend engineer, learning your first framework is the hardest part. After that, it will be much easier to switch to another framework if your company asks you to. However, it is important to choose a framework that is in demand in your area. For example, if most companies in your area use Express, it would be a waste of time to learn Symfony. It is better to focus on learning a framework that will help you land a job. Once you have a job, you can learn whatever framework you want. There is no competition between frameworks, and they all have their own purpose.

the fact that he said that laravel is harder to learn than django broke my heart django is a pain for me

Python still remains the fastest language so far! What??? Since when 😂

Django Rest api is almost as built in package its has part of Django documentation also if just add Django rest api you would get ur rest api. All CRUD and authentication done ✅ for all models. Unlike laravel you have build routing and controller for each model

I personally think Laravel is way easier to learn, and based on what I’ve seen recently, it’s way more feature packed than any other framework, it’s got pretty much everything you could ask for.

Maybe it’s true for Django as well, but I’ve given up learning it years ago.

Tech discussions aside, Damn I love the art style and the animations =) thumbs up!!

Laravel hosting is more readily available compared to Django. And maybe knowing a bit more PHP is required for Laravel the environment setup for Python I always found to be pain.

Especially on a Mac

rest_framework in combination with drf_spectacular and is a great experience in django.
You get serializer generation based on typed dataclasses full openai specifications generated for your api's and quite quick and flexible api development using function or class views, everything customizable to the core but with sensible default inital setups.

If speed is what you need, use octane

[botcontador]

Php8.1 onward versions have execution time way faster than python. Now, all of most popular and stable php frameworks have not yet caught up with the latest php language features.

I have worked in both, but each one has their own goods and bads

[JuriBinturong]

for APIs, Django has Django Rest Framework.

[guitubeyt]

Pretty sure the speed is faster on Laravel, due to new PHP 8 that is faster than Python, and combined with FPM or Octane which is blazingly fast

"Steep learning curve for Laravel" - Nah

[hoceynesouala]

how do you animate your videos which all are awesome🤯

[amanuelmekashaw]

Django's license only needs M to be NSWF

[fcnealvillangca]

What's with the violent reaction with laravel has more steep learning curve than django?

Probably because schools teach you php as basic starter language but for people who just started with both from scratch and no IT degree it's probably true that django is easier to learn than laravel

[alkadoHs]

Django is easier than Laravel...??
Brother seriously ???
Do you know Django really??

[techinsider]

As a django developer.
One thing that is missing in django is vite for frontend building

Author of the video: "Django good because it on Python. Laravel is worst because it on PHP". Level of competence is very low.
