It's interesting how you can observe thousands of developers utilizing Typescript and ORMs. Code bases with millions of lines. And have someone like you assume that these tools are 'useless' and solve 'self-inflicted' problems. Assume that large code bases are 'bad practice'. Assume 'breaking' something up is some amazing insight and will simply fix problems and not create new ones. Also assuming that we're not aware of these things already and have not evaluated these options such as plain javascript and raw sql.

You really think you're that above everyone else? No doubts that you might be missing something?




I appreciate your passion for php and i like our otherwise enjoyable debate, but instead of projections and a misuse of the term “assume” i would appreciate counter arguments.


Hrm I haven’t been talking about PHP, but ORMs and static typing.. If you’re working in PHP then yea I see how you’re still using raw sql probably. I don’t know of any enterprises that don’t use either .Net or Java for their large line of business apps. Definitely not PHP, static typing is relatively new to it.

I think we’d need to know a lot more about each other’s projects and experiences to continue as this debate has become a bunch of generalizations.
