Why are you building giant apps at all? Wouldn't you be better off delegating some of the responsibility to micro-services?

Laravel is never like Wordpress because it does different things. Yes. You're right. Cars are nothing like aeroplanes because, like, aeroplanes fly and cars don't. So how can they both be called vehicles?

I'm saying cars are like aeroplanes cos they're both vehicles. And Laravel is like Wordpress because with both, you can make them do stuff they weren't really designed to do.

Look - obviously I've not used Laravel for big systems yet so I've got a lot to learn (I've used Symfony for them though...).

But here's an article from someone who has a similar perspective to mine: freecodecamp.org/news/moving-away-...

There are bits of Laravel that are not nice to use and which violate the principles of SOLID. And that's as good a reason as any to question the way it's built.
