I'm pretty good with nodejs but I'll pick PHP for my backend everytime.
Laravel > Nestjs
Don't @ me
Discussion
Had to work in a Laravel PHP today for the first time in a long time. I'm going to @ you on this all day.
Lucky you, what a dream
For the record, there was a time when I loved Laravel. So easy to spin up a quick API backend. And I imagine code could be made more developer friendly with type hinting and the like.
I'm also probably bitter because I was debugging a html parser that I didn't write and that's just a huge pain.
It's been awhile though so I'm admitted rusty and have been in NestJS projects a lot more lately.
I’ve heard this from more than one person!
Laravel is very mature and refined, it has a huge headstart though
I like Laravel, I haven't made anything with it in many years but my recollections of it are all good feelings.
PHP is intuitive to me, maybe because I used to write straight HTML with notepad++ many years ago.
I tried to get into JavaScript development, SPA stuff and even node. I can do it but I always feel that I'm doing something wrong (likely accurate) and chasing which framework to use becomes exhausting.
Do I ...
Vanilla js
jQuery
Underscore
Backbone
Angular
Ember
React
Etc.
F%$k it just shoot me already and get it over with.
And don't get me started with the hell that is CSS

Front end is pain. Avoid at all costs.
