I'm excited for these CPUs to come out; I've been yearning to get away from Intel after they've continually shot themselves in the foot, and these models price/performance are really selling team red to me.
I remember watching a video about how old/antiquated the technology used by the IRS is (i.e. a behemoth computer system built in the 60's)... Our government's IT infrastructure needs a massive overhaul.
In all honesty, Laravel has been a blast to create projects with. Prior to that framework, I had very little experience with PHP or any back-end development. It's simple to setup, has sane/safe defaults, and it scales well with the complexity of projects. Can't recommend it enough!
