Why I stopped using Node.js for most of my projects 👇
I got tired of installing a 3rd-party package for every small feature.
Want sessions? package.
File upload? package.
Validation? package.
Auth? 4–5 packages.
Security? More packages.
I just want to build — not manage dependencies.
PHP gives me sessions, cookies, forms, security, routing basics built-in.
Less boilerplate, fewer risks, faster shipping.
Node.js is powerful for real-time & microservices, but for rapid secure web dev — PHP feels more productive for me.
Not hate. Just choosing the tool that lets me focus on creating, not configuring.

📊 Interesting results from the State of PHP 2025 report
According to the survey, most PHP developers currently live in Japan 🇯🇵 (12%), followed by the United States 🇺🇸 and the Russian Federation 🇷🇺 with 8% each.
What’s even more interesting is that 36% of respondents come from “other” countries — showing how truly global the PHP community is 🌍
Why do you think Japan stands out this much?
Work culture? PHP popularity? Or something else? 🤔

🚀 Laravel performance doesn’t have to be limited by PHP’s request model.
In my latest article, I share how combining FrankenPHP, Laravel Octane, and Traefik Labs's Traefik can make your Laravel app truly production-ready — cutting load times from ~60ms to under 6ms per request.
It’s not just about speed: this architecture also improves isolation, process recovery, and deployment simplicity through Docker Compose.
If you want to understand how to move from PHP-FPM to a modern, container-based Laravel setup:

Folks who want #PHP to "stay in its lane" can see the potential
It will take over
They actively want to prevent this so that it doesn't encroach on their territory
But PHP quietly dominates the web and it will dominate other platforms too, you'll see
