Laravel, I've come to bargain...

laravel-I-have-come-to-bargain.md

I have been doing a lot of "pros-and-cons" stuff from a little over 2 years now - about using Laravel.

I made it a big deal (and I believe I regret it in a certain capacity).

It should not have been a big deal.

It is a just another framework.

Finally, I have caught up with my senses and I strongly believe that I was too arrogant or stupid to not go down the Laravel path.

I am far too young to allow myself to fall into such traps of "not-wanting-to-do-certain-framework-or-language".

Laravel, here I am, and I have come to bargain... and after that it's you "React JS and React Native"...

Here's the reason/excuse/justification for not updating this thread.

I was learning Laravel (damn it, that's the perfect excuse, especially in the context of this thread).

Anyhow, yes, that's true - I've been learning Laravel, and I don't mean "setup controller, model, views", I mean the whole shebang - routes, to migrations, to form-requests, service-providers, console commands, test-driven-development, using the first party packages (and third party as well), to add oh-so-many features.

Following tools have been added to my tech-stack and I have written more code in last 1 year than I have written in 10 years preceding that.

1. Laravel 9.x
2. Docker / docker-compose
3. Tailwind-CSS
4. Alpine.js
5. Terraform
6. Heroku CLI
7. GCP Cloud Run / Cloud SQL
8. AWS / RDS / Postgres
9. PhpStorm [probably "the-best" investment that I have done, like ever]

Packages/tools that I have been experimenting with:

1. Telescope
2. Breeze
3. Sanctum
4. PHP parallel lint, php-cs, php-md, php-security-checker
5. PestPHP
6. ZSH [z-shell]
7. Bladewind-UI
8. Blade-ui-icons
9. SVG icons, and the same icons as "fonts" - Material UI and devicons fonts
