When I’m starting a new web project, I almost always reach for @laravel. When I’m 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. That’s not to say you can’t 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 don’t really see programming languages as teams you have to pick between. Different tools feel right for different problems. Sometimes for no other reason than, β€œI want to build this using that.” That said, PHP will always have my heart. It’s still my favorite programming language. It’s where I started, and it still feels like home.

I don’t hate this. Fairly certain I’m team `=>`
PHP might be getting a "using" block. πŸ‘€ It would automatically handle resource cleanup, even when exceptions occur. There's a new RFC targeting PHP 8.7. And developers are already debating "=>" vs "as". πŸ˜‚

I'm seeing loads of ✨AI founders✨ 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.

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.

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.
the republicans were handed the country on a silver platter for the first time in a long time culturally & politically and basically did nothing with it except bomb iran. historical fumble.

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!
Be honest, which backend stack has the strongest future?
