It Depends

" summary

A consultant-sized set of tradeoffs with concrete data and tools: a live voting app written by Claude Code in Laravel plus React and Reveal.js polls that mostly works on stage, claims that Xdebug saves hours over var_dump, and guidance to prefer monoliths until deploy pain warrants microservices. Poll results: 78% favor opinionated frameworks, 88% will pull open source libraries (composer), 55% would rather maintain legacy, and 33% actively use AI coding agents—practical thresholds, not slogans.
