Symfony's book tutorials starts out way too invasive. For example:

Their CLI has a specific command for you to clone the book project's repository. This command won't run unless you have all their dependencies installed (including docker and yarn). In the end a good old fashioned git clone does the trick.

Next, before even writing a single loc, the book urges you to create a symfonycloud account and give them your credit card number.

Seriously what the hell.

Should I mail you a drop of my blood as well so you can check out my ancestry while I'm at it?

    They don’t want your DNA, just your money. The deed to your house will work quite nicely.

    Stay with simple PHP implementation. I use bramus router and a mustache templating. Avoid SDKs as much as possible. Use a "functionized" curl post instead of bloated psr http clients. Borrow an ORM but not the whole framework. PDO is enough for small projects.
