Love this video - i'm a junior in the programming world, and your videos are like listening to a senior dev advise on what to be aware of ahead! So what I get from this video, I have a vanilla JS proficiency, where enough to help me build interactions on my website. I should learn Node.js for small projects or microservices, but If I'm thinking long term to create a product that do not depend much on outdated dependecies, I should look for more mature ecosystem like Laravel for example. But that would require me to learn PHP (which I know a little). Did I get this right?
Thank you! And yes, that’s a good summary of my views. Broadly speaking, if your goal is to build a successful business, you will be much better served by a mature full-stack framework than a ragtag collection of v0.x node libraries where the burden of integration is effectively all on you. Laravel is my personal favorite but Rails is a close second. People have done great things with Django as well, although I feel it’s gone a bit stagnant the last few years. Thanks for watching!
I don’t blame planetscale for the decision. I used the free tier as basically a testing remote db. I might actually use the regular plan at 30+.. in the future for a bigger project if they become stable and reliable into the future.
