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.

Clean Up Your Code in Vibe Coding!
As developers, we all know how unnecessary comments can clutter our code, reduce readability, and slow down collaboration.
I just published a guide on how to remove auto-generated comments in Vibe Coding, specifically for .tsx and .php files, and how you can integrate this cleanup into your workflow for a cleaner, more professional codebase.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, automating this process will save you time and keep your projects organized.

Pro tip: You can even add this command to your pre-commit hooks or formatting workflow for consistent, automated cleanup.

From Chaos to Craft: The Evolution of PHP Frameworks
Early 2000s: No frameworks, just raw PHP.
2005: Symfony introduces reusable components.
2006: CodeIgniter and Zend bring MVC mainstream.
2011: Laravel makes PHP elegant again.
2020s: Async frameworks like Octane, Swoole & RoadRunner reshape performance.
PHP grew because of frameworks, not despite them.
