> All you had to do was edit, save & refresh. No rebuild of code, server restart, compiling Just edit & save.

The majority of webdev is either exactly like that, or effectively like that with very fast rebuilds/restarts. It's not really something unique to PHP.

In fact in your modern stack you'd probably have autosave, and most importantly "fast refresh", so you don't need to manually refresh and you don't lose state.



Nah you don't yet it.

Nowadays there is so much build config you need 4gb just to run wepback.

Php is just a save of a file. That's it's.

So for instance we would use remote file save. Edit & save via ftp. Most editors have such a plugin. Then you could work remote easily.

But also hosting php is 10 times easier and stable then node. Php servers don't run stale or crash. Because there is no server.
