Hey all! š Iām Ryo, a Sr. Design Technologist at PlayStation. I do web dev with React/TS/Node and game dev with Unity/C#/C++/OpenGL/DirectX. Feel free to ask me any questions! š¤
I've fallen in love with the elegance of Laravel too. Coming from a similar world of Wordpress and their messy codebase with endless hooks š¤¬, discovering the simplicity and particularly power of Laravel was career changing.
I find myself looking at projects now and thinking "that'd be so much easier to do in Laravel".
I'm in the same boat. Been doing mostly WordPress development for the last two years for work. Or what I like to think of as "WordPress hell." š
Discovered Laravel about a year or year and a half ago and started doing the majority of my side projects with that. Working with Laravel is so much more pleasant.
I wouldn't use WP for projects generally unless they are CMS based only.
If it's actual saas sort of work, obviously other frameworks would be better to work in -- Laravel included. I've been doing Laravel off-and-on in my own time on random projects. Been really liking it.
Yeah, if I didn't have to use WordPress for work (which, ironically, is for a SaaS product), I wouldn't either. Been pushing to move it to Laravel, but that's a long road.
I'm a software developer who writes about Laravel, JavaScript, Rails, Linux, Docker, WordPress and the tech industry. Follow me on Twitter @tylerlwsmith
I'm totally in the same boat here. Because I work on a lot of small business sites I still reach for WordPress in 90% of cases, but if I'm doing anything much more complicated than managing content I usually reach for Laravel.
This is doubly true if I have to mess with WordPress's rewrite API š

WP is very similar in that regard! I would argue though that the Drupal community is far more cultish lol! It's like a religion for some people.
Yeah, I can't quite say the WP community is cultish. I think they have a strong community, but they're not too far out there. š
I'd say, all communities are more or less religious-like, be it Drupal, WP, Laravel or CodeIgniter, or even language based like NodeJS or PHP.
