One week ago, I watched "20 Days in Mariupol", a gripping film when Russia started the full scale invasion of Ukraine.
At times, I had to pause watching it as it way too much.

Hot take: the best framework in PHP is easy to figure out. I'll even tell you what it is.
Drumroll please...
The best framework in PHP is the one that gets the job done for your business case.
