I think i program like you.
My code is designed to be fast, terse, mostly procedural, highly readable, with as little abstractions as possible. ( this is PHP code )
The framework i use is one i wrote and is 1000 lines long and fits in one file.
My way of developing is fast for me. Maintainable for me. I've been doing this for 10 years. Yes, it looks like php code from 2009, but it looks like DAMN good php code from 2009.
It was never a problem until i started looking for jobs and laravel and symfony terminology kept coming up in interviews. I have not been able to get another job because i am not familiar with how these jails work.
I've tried to get into symfony and laravel multiple times. It just seems like a ton more code to write and way too many layers of abstraction. It's like you're not writing php anymore.
What i don't get is how you can work in the PHP world today without putting yourself in framework jail like everyone else.
I've considered chucking my entire php skillset out the window and learning another language that isn't ran by architecture astronauts yet.
What say you?
