Before PHP Existed

I come from a time before PHP existed. Some of you do as well. It's likely why I opposed the notion of a CMS. Because I felt like I didn't need one. People like me eventually conceded to the idea of easy image uploads with thumbnail previews and all the niceties brought on by "Ajax", etc. It was a long time ago, in a galaxy...
I digress.

Things are different now. The AI will code it for you. It's the same as using syntax highlighting, really.

I'm definitely not a coder who thinks, "Oh shit! Everyone can code now!" and care about it for some reason. Because:
1.) No. Everyone can't code now.
2.) Not really.

I reflect upon: https://training.statecollegeguitarlessons.site It seems like it, but it didn't happen magically. It takes extensive knowledge of music theory, AND extensive knowledge of good software engineering principles. Sure, the AI wrote the code.

The point is: I say now more than ever, it makes sense to use a Framework like Laravel. Well? Maybe not. It makes sense to tell the LLM to write comments in the code. It would essentially be the same thing. What was once an advantage through abstraction is now an advantage through narration.

The AI Coding Co-pilot (to give it a name) is capable of understanding the logic in milliseconds. It doesn't need Vue.js to make a Reactive application. Unless it wants to make it fancy.

Go with a framework, and let the AI go nuts on your ideas. That way, you can still participate in the forums.
