I started experimenting with "vanilla" PHP (without Composer) like in the old days for some of my small projects. I had a feeling that using frameworks or other libraries for them was overkill. This feels so refreshing... #coding #nostalgia
@m I'm curious about how and why these experiences inspire this feeling in you. I'd like to hear more if you're willing to share.
Replying to @elazar@phpc.social
@elazar, I like to create from nothing. Most times I'm using frameworks where you have predefined classes, functions, ... And some of them want you to use their structure.
When I create without them or even without Composer (the latter does not matter), I can create whatever structure I like.
And more, I know exactly what each part is doing and how it works.
I'm not saying that we need to create everything by ourselves (nobody wants to reinvent the wheel), but if a project is simple, why not?
