I still feel bad about the image of people towards PHP, but given the amount of bad tutorials and packages that are outdated out there I understand that most enterprise / startup wants to avoid having to code in PHP again.

For the past couple of years I have been working with laravel in a small company, and I really enjoyed it. The environment that it provides honestly is amazing. Documentation is super easy to read, laracast is amazing to bootstrap your knowledge in couple of weeks, and community is huge that you can find almost anything already built by them.

However its hard to find any big companies here that uses PHP, jobs popping up is mostly python, java and c#, thus sadly I have to leave php and learn java / python for the new big tech job (also for my own future). Its not that java / python community is bad, but I'll surely miss the laravel ecosystem.
