Sounds like an incredibly slow way to handle a LAMP stack. On your website you mentioned manually writing the routing and other basic functions a framework covers out of the box.

From your website: "we transfer control to the first PHP file, the router, and begin by importing my little toolbox I've accumulated over the years." If you wanna "get stuff done" that doesn't sound simple or fast.

You don't use any js frameworks? You write CSS by hand and throw out all the benefits of SCSS?! This all applies just to your personal blog. It would not scale.

"It's a total hack achieved by careful output buffering, variable scoping, and function overloading" how is "a total hack" simpler than OOTB functions provided by a PHP framework?

You're even defending ragged-left aligned-right text. In any country where uses are used to reading left-to-right this is the slowest way to read, this has been studied well before the web existed.
