procrastinative coding is a bad habit of mine. I've been using php for 10+ years and just recently got into laravel. I have to say I love it but at times I wish I could have learned the entire framework before starting my project some time ago. as I am coding I learn new tricks with laravel on how to do things and have to waste time and go back and change existing code... or tell myself "I'll come back to this after the launch".
I'm just wondering how other people handle taking on new frameworks

    I have been working with PHP for some years now and recently tried Laravel. I hated it because it had a tendency to favour dark-magic stuff we should avoid.
    Really, what do you see on it? why the heavy usage?

    @aaronfc i've always been a vanilla programmer with php and for the streamlining i was looking for laravel seemed like the best choice. I love the routes, cron management, modularity of the coding, and huge selection of packages to expand functionality. i know every framework has its ups and downs but this one has saved me a lot of time rebuilding my system from scratch. just having so many features from the start like validation and user management are handy. do you have a framework you prefer?

    i try to do things as much as the "right way" as possible but i still miss out on some things. you can't have it all in one go, but perfect things gradually, i just love how many packages laravel has. its because of amazing community.
