Been taking a course on php and I'm currently working through a cms project. It's just so satisfying learning how all the data communicates from frontend to backend.

I’m surprised that sql can basically do a lot of job for the backend

@devTea I like to do as much as possible with SQL too. I’ve noticed with Laravel people tend to delete related records in their code by using model events or something similar. I much prefer to have this logic happen in the database using cascades. Obviously neither is the “correct” approach, but it seems to make sense that the database schema should be in charge of your data integrity.

I'm surprised there are no comments like "omg your own cms? you know frameworks and wordpress exist right bro? you know about security bro?" Lately I'm seeing more and more of those when someone rants about a custom whatever.

@devRow yeah, I honestly just stumbled upon this community yesterday and I'm seriously surprised how freindly and inviting people are :) And also my response to anything impractical when it comes to tech is.. Because I can xD
