title: php, mysql and phpmyadmin, MAMP or homebrew
body: <p>When I got to make a clean install of my system I asked myself, again, this question.
  What is the best way tools to use for my local development, install MAMP or install the stack with homebrew?</p>
  
  <p>Even though 'best' is highly relative depending on what each and everybody needs and how they like to work, I would like to get some thoughts from people who tried them both, what they finally chose and why.</p>
  
  <p>Personally, I chose this time to not use MAMP and install php, mysql and (not yet) phpmyadmin using homebrew.
  The pros, it's simple and fast to install, even better to update. Painfull to update MAMP.
  The cons, having the homebrew.mxcl.mysql daemon running and having to manually start-stop processes like apache and mysql while there is just a button on MAMP.</p>
  
  <p>But still, how about installing and using both?
  Would I enjoy the best of both worlds or am I looking for troubles and headaches?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks y'all...</p>
