Over the past month, I've been teaching myself #PHP, with help from lots of videos, websites, and folks I follow here on Mastodon. I really don't understand all the negativity from other developers who don't use it. I mean, I understand those other developers use other languages, and they're obviously going to favor those languages that they are comfortable with using, but I still don't get the negativity.
Many of the comments I get from developers that don't use PHP go something like, "Why PHP? It's dead."
Man, I am really sick of that comment.
