Stauffer, who sits on the PHP Foundation board, admits Claude would probably pick full-stack JavaScript for a non-developer's app today. His case for PHP is that its mature off-the-shelf CMSs, CRMs and frameworks leave the LLM less custom code to hold in context.
…daily titles, but I am working hard on kind of even like retitling stuff to get it more interesting, even though, you know, it's all the little minor things you have to do when you're running a site like this. So we'll see. But I'm excited to launch it and excited for it to be out in the world.
Yeah.
…LLMs right? And it's like the one where the LLM does as little custom work as possible. Because even if the LLM is writing the code, the bigger the code base, the more each change requires the LLM to absorb the entire freaking code base and all the, you know, using up all the tokens. And even tokens get cheaper. There's just still so much, only so much context that can really usefully work with. So the more custom code you have, the less effective the LLM is over time. So what is the answer there? Less custom code, more pre-built code. Who has the best pre-built code? PHP. Bar none. No question in my mind. Like this is not even a conversation. So I'm like, the answer is already there. The best world to work in with an LLM is PHP, period. But not everybody knows that. So let's get them to know that.
Exactly. And that was, and that was my thinking too. It's like, that was a perfect description right there. Yes. Let's make PHP News outside of PHP. And how do we do that? I feel like this is a good start. Yeah. I feel like this is a start. And, you know, we're going to run this. We're going to see…
we're actually ready to go.
Yeah.
