MVC vs HMVC vs HAVC


MVC (Model-View-Controller)

The most-common, traditional approach where files are grouped by type. CodeIgniter 3 uses MVC.

  • Characteristics: Centralized folders for all Controllers, Models, and Views.

  • Best For: Small to medium-sized projects.

  • Pros: Very simple to set up. You literally can't mess this up.

  • Cons: Might become serabut as the project grows. Still usable though.

Directory Example:


HMVC (Hierarchical Model-View-Controller)

An evolution of MVC. Further organizes files into modules.

  • Characteristics: Each feature has its own folder containing its own MVC structure.

  • Best For: Medium to large-scale projects.

  • Pros: Much cleaner folder structure. Can easily be moved or reused in other projects.


HAVC (Hierarchical Asset-View-Controller)

A specialized variation of HMVC, popularized by the Trongate framework.

  • Characteristics: Replaces the "Model" folder with an "Asset" folder.

  • Structure: Everything specific to a module, including models, CSS, JavaScript, and images, is stored within the "assets" sub-folder.

  • Pros: Designed to make modules completely self-contained, including their front-end dependencies.

  • Cons: Literally no other framework use this.

Turning AIs Into Cavemen Is Actually A Good Idea

    Token limits have been the number 1 problem of vibecoding. Aside from high usage, vague prompting and inefficient context management are two key causes that contribute to this problem. Tokens are counted from two things, the user’s input and agent’s output. You can have the best prompt in the world, but if your AI puke a Shakespearean essay for each response, your token will reach its limit faster. Similarly, if your prompt is too long, your token usage will also skyrocket. Prompting Prompting seems easy enough, but the reality is, if you want quality output, the input must be of similar quality. Here are some tips you can try to achieve a better, token-efficient prompt. Stick to English language only Certain languages may use higher tokens. Switching between languages might not be a good idea. Sure you can control your input prompt, but the output may use more tokens. Extremely short input Do not use ‘please’ or ‘thank you’. Get rid of filler words. Straight to the point....

Git Revert is Easier Than You Might Think

    Its surprisingly easy and not as complicated as some people might say. You just need to know which one is the 'bad' commit, then revert to one commit before the 'bad' one. In this example, person 'M' accidentally pulled from the dev branch instead of main. So to revert this, just follow these steps: Find the 'bad' commit In this case it's git message have something like 'pulled dev into branch...'. This is the bad commit, do not copy the git hash of this commit. Instead, get the last 'good' commit. Copy the commit hash of the one before the 'bad' one. Paste it somewhere safe, we will get back to this later. Do not revert right now.   Backup your commits after the 'bad' one After pulling from dev, 'M' pushed a few more commits afterwards. If we've already reverted, finding the committed changes would be a bit harder. So now is the best chance to copy all the commit hashes for cherry-picking later.    Rev...
