Why I Love Working With Laravel

TLDR: With Laravel I truly feel like an artisan. I run laravel new idea and I suddenly I have a powerful, unobtrusive, fast, and beautiful project ready to craft.

Frameworks are a funny thing, you want security, flexibility, and a powerful feature set, but you also want the framework to just fade into the background.

Because when you have the tools you need and the framework fades into the background you can enter a incredible state of creativity.

You reach into your tool set, grab one brush and quickly switch to another. You sit there and ponder the structure of one small bit of code… when a new idea flows, you quickly dive back in.

The last thing in you mind is the framework, you don’t want to have to stop the worry about not having the tools you need.

In my experience, once you have learned the basics, Laravel provides this ideal environment.

Laravel has made adding third party PHP packages as seamless as possible with package auto discovery.

The ecosystem is first class, diverse, and constantly innovating. I’ve highlighted some of my favorites below

Laravel removes friction by adopting smart standards and focusing on developer experience. It spans the full stack and does so with well planned ease.

If your a PHP developer and haven’t given Laravel a try, I would give it my highest recommendation, hope this helps someone out there!
