> As a full-stack developer working with Laravel, I found this article incredibly useful! Your detailed breakdown of hardware and software setup, especially the use of Ddev for containerized environments and tools like WezTerm and Neovim, offers great insights. I’ll definitely be incorporating some of these tools into my workflow. Thanks for sharing! ⭐️

> PHP is a good language, and is the base of many applications like Wordpress. I am a Js developer, and want to learn more about PHP, but the syntax of PHP is boring as per my observation.
> I have used Js more, and I personally believe its syntax is not that good.
> Do you think same way or do you think it needs some improvement, sir?
