When Iβm starting a new web project, I almost always reach for @laravel.
When Iβm building a desktop application, I usually reach for C# with @AvaloniaUI.
And yes, sometimes that means a C# desktop app talking to a Laravel API. I actually really like that combination.
Thatβs not to say you canβt build desktop applications with something like @nativephp. You absolutely can. But for the kinds of desktop software I enjoy building, C# tends to fit the way I want to work.
I donβt really see programming languages as teams you have to pick between. Different tools feel right for different problems. Sometimes for no other reason than, βI want to build this using that.β
That said, PHP will always have my heart. Itβs still my favorite programming language. Itβs where I started, and it still feels like home.

I'm seeing loads of β¨AI foundersβ¨ going on about shipping hundreds of PRs a week, but then you see the product and it's all "agent this, autonomous that" and the target audience is like... plumbers
Guys, hundreds of PRs a week is not going to establish a value proposition for the people you're trying to sell your product.
All you're doing is paying $2k on tokens every month that you're never gonna make back because plumbers don't know wtf your website is about.

I don't know who needs to hear this but stop sending AI-written emails. It doesn't work.

Introducing FlockPHP v1.0! A free, open-source Laravel Herd alternative for macOS, Windows & Linux!

One of my favorite things about working in tech is knowing just how easy it is to register a .org domain, while remembering all those high school teachers who swore .org websites were more trustworthy than .com.
Turns out, credibility costs about $12 a year.

Flock: A Free, Native Herd Alternative for Laravel posted by @ylynfatt laravel-news.com/flock-laravβ¦
We elected our leaders to enact change, but instead we got only executive orders and war. Those executive orders should have been enshrined in law, and now it's no longer possible.

Yes, I can be cynical sometimes. I wish I had less reason to be, but lived experience has made that difficult at times.
Of all of these listed, .NET is my favorite with Go in a close second! Sorry @ThePrimeagen, I better go get me some pleated pants!
