Title: PHP devs: Is it still worth learning HTML and CSS for modern web development projects?

Hey fellow devs, I've been thinking - with frameworks like Laravel and CodeIgniter handling frontend tasks, do we really need to spend time learning HTML and CSS? I mean, isn't it overkill at this point? Or are there still some scenarios where basic knowledge of HTML and CSS is essential?

Honestly, I think having a basic grasp of HTML and CSS is still super beneficial, even for PHP devs. Not knowing how to write a simple HTML structure or style a div can make it harder to communicate with designers and front-end devs, and can lead to more headaches down the line. It's not about being an expert, but having a solid foundation.

Honestly, I think HTML and CSS are still super important fundamentals, even for modern web dev projects. You can use frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind to speed up your front-end dev, but knowing the basics will still serve you well. Can't rely on copying and pasting code snippets forever, right?

Honestly, I'd say yes, still worth it. HTML and CSS are building blocks of the web, and understanding them will always come in handy, even with modern frameworks like React and Vue. It's not about mastering them as a separate skill, but having a solid grasp of web fundamentals.

I'm still old-school in this sense, but I think knowing basic HTML and CSS is still essential for any web dev, regardless of the tech stack. It helps you understand the front-end and how the browser parses the code. Plus, it's always a good skill to have.

Honestly, I think it's still super important for PHP devs to know the basics of HTML and CSS. Not only does it help with understanding how the frontend works, but it also gives you an edge in terms of debugging and optimization. Plus, it's just good to have a solid foundation in the fundamentals.

Honestly, knowing HTML and CSS is a must-have for any web dev, even if you're into PHP. They're the building blocks of the web, and you can't rely on frameworks/libraries to do everything for you. Plus, understanding the basics of front-end dev will make you a better PHP dev in the long run.
