With so many PHP developers out there, maybe it is time they stop chasing frameworks and shortcuts to start caring about performance. Forget the sugar, core native PHP is still the sharpest utility in your toolbox 😉
Follow-up, since Laravel people keep asking "Why core PHP"? 1. Framework Bootstrapping & Routing Why it’s slower: Every request in Laravel must bootstrap the entire framework - load service providers, configuration, middleware... before even dispatching your route.

Empty words cannot hide the truth: your government is complicit in genocide. We are an unstoppable movement for peace, for justice and for Palestine — and we are never, ever going away.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
The U.S. condemns Israeli actions on one hand, while supplying the funding, weapons, and political cover that enable the mass starvation of two million Palestinians—half of them children—on the other. I told Channel 4 News tonight that history will remember this shameful…

The world is witnessing an utter disregard for – if not outright violations of – international law; with no accountability. @antonioguterres says failures to uphold international obligations are coming at a staggering cost — measured in lost lives and shattered communities.
So little, so late, President @vonderleyen : After you have given Israel 21 months a free pass in Gaza, it will take more than words to prevent Israel from completing its genocidal mission and overt ethnic cleansing campaign. And even more, to repair what's left of the EU…
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.…
