While everyone is building the next AI SaaS, I recently took on a completely different challenge: engineering an internal business management and stock inventory system for a local marble and granite company.
No complex microservices or trendy frameworks. I just used pure PHP and MySQL to transition their frontend invoice application into a fully database-backed accounting tool. The impact on their daily operations was immediate and massive.
I wrote up a technical breakdown of how simple, 'boring' tech stacks are still the absolute best choice for real-world brick-and-mortar businesses. Would love to hear stories from others building tools for non-tech local industries
