@cam @garybernhardt It's an uphill battle. I've been beating this drum for years, with only limited success.

@cam @garybernhardt Laravel violates basically every best practice I can think of...

@Crell @garybernhardt and a few you’re forgetting too! 😂 but the people love it so that’s where the talk goes, who am I to deny the crowds?

@cam @garybernhardt I've been denying the crowd my whole career in order to push them toward better code. I see no reason to change now.
