I love working with Laravel. I made a career switch around 3 or 4 years ago from factory work to development.
First job I got was mostly plain php. I remember that we build systems from scratch and needed to make everything over and over again.
In my spare time I looked at frameworks and I started with codeigniter but ellislab dropped support and it wasn't clear what future it would have.
When I started with Laravel the 4.2 version was just released and I liked using it since the learning curve wasn't too high. I remain using laravel to this day and have seen most of the ups and downs.
It really gives me joy that I can help my team on a framework level. Meaning I have seen almost all changes that happend and are happinging in the framework which I can explain to my team.
Sometimes I can make educated guesses based on the past which sometimes help me and my team to be ready for new releases.
GraphQL is really soothing for me, and writing tests with rspec
I feel relaxed when using bootstrap for styling and angularJs.
Notepad++
It is the one tool which I can use easily and whenever I need to make small changes. It's so much better than any of the IDEs for this reason.
Of course, I miss all the features an IDE provides at that time. But it makes me feel relaxed. 🙂
Microsoft Excel, Ms SQL server, Vs code, Visual Studio
GitLab :D
I had a very good experience using Hanami/Ruby recently.
I feel relaxed working with React / Redux.
Personally I prefer MEAN stack, VSCode with awesome extensions.
Java, Swift, IntelliJ Idea IDE family, Item2 with ohMyZSH
