Submission + - Best way to transfer legacy PHP code to a modern framework?

rzack writes: Since 1999, I've written a huge amount of PHP code, for dozens of applications and websites. Most of it has been continually updated, and remains active and in-production, in one form or another. Here's the thing, it's all hand-written using vi, even to this day. Is there any benefit to migrating this codebase to a more modern PHP framework, like Laravel? And is there an easy and minimally intrusive way this can be done en-masse, across dozens of applications and websites? Or at this point should I just stick with vi?

Comment Why not invest that $60M in 500 more startups? (Score 2) 376

For the $60M they are spending on these 1000 people getting free income, YC could instead invest their same standard $120k deal on 500 more startups -- $120k*500=60M. They regularly turn away hundreds (thousands?) of hardworking, dedicated entrepreneurs every year with great businesses that just don't fit their model perfectly, who have likely invested all their time, money and lives building their businesses. The startups would in aggregate create actual jobs, likely more than the 1000 people that are just getting free money. This investment would incentivize entrepreneurship and more startups being created and creating more jobs....Even as someone who is open to the idea of UBI someday as a public policy/governmental cost, I just don't understand this move. Instead of giving people free money, why not provide pre-seed capital to people who have a legit plan and want to work?
