Agreed, the best framework is the one built into browsers already 🙌

Thank you, as a developer, I was thinking a lot about which framework I should use and this article was very helpful.

I was using nuxt and vue in the frontend, but I was quite undecided about the backend, I was going back and forth between 2 options; python fastapi and laravel, I think I will make my choice in favor of fastapi because it is better in terms of performance and I already have the chance to work in many areas with python. If I am thinking wrong, I would like to hear your valuable opinions.

Although I completely agree with you, that won't stop me from reading more posts about "the best framework"!

Great article!
We have to accept that sometimes, we prefer to tinker and try out new things instead of shipping what works (and that's okay!).

Thanks Boris! Yeah, we definitely shouldn't stop trying out new things (that's how we learn), but we also shouldn't be too harsh to what we're using right now. It's probably good enough for the job.
