Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if “PHP is still relevant?” Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway… happy birthday!

    not directly, but trash-talking it and gatekeeping “real programming” from the language most likely to be used by women is not exactly conducive to improved equality in the profession.

    i realise now that i didn’t explicitly mention my point in the first post, so:

    • shitting on other people’s jobs is bad.

      So PHP may be trash, but don’t treat the people using it like trash? Makes sense to me.

        lift people up instead of pushing them down. we don’t make fun of the language someone is using, we help them get better.
