> Oh and it's free. All of it. PHP, Laravel. And its hosting has always been the cheapest. You don't need a particular OS or certain cloud providers.
Unless you’re getting shared hosting, then it’s true for most things now. You don’t need a specific OS or cloud provider for .NET, Java, Go, Rust… etc
> When I consider the solutions of flask and microservices I've left behind, the many node processes running with pm2, the complexity of .NET solutions... PHP just works, and it's easy to make reliable... And if it's slow, it's because I'm doing dumb stuff, not because of dark corner edge case I happened to be tripping into.
.NET isn’t anymore complex than a PHP app. Unless you write many layers of abstractions. And nothing stops you from doing the same thing in PHP.
