I started experimenting with "vanilla" PHP (without Composer) like in the old days for some of my small projects. I had a feeling that using frameworks or other libraries for them was overkill. This feels so refreshing... #coding #nostalgia

@elazar@phpc.social, I like to create from nothing. Most times I'm using frameworks where you have predefined classes, functions, ... And some of them want you to use their structure. When I create without them or even without Composer (the latter does not matter), I can create whatever structure I like. And more, I know exactly what each part is doing and how it works. I'm not saying that we need to create everything by ourselves (nobody wants to reinvent the wheel), but if a project is simple, why not?
