I like PHP. It's made me a shitload of money over the years, so I'm genuinely looking forward to all the derogatory comments about how "PHP is teh shitty language!!1!"
I'll read them sitting in a fully paid-off, 4-bedroom home that was bought and paid for by PHP.
Is PHP the greatest language in the universe, or even on this block? Nope. Does PHP have lots of sharp edges? Yep. Do many of the functions appear to
While I feel the same way, I also resent the fact that of all the languages that have become immensely popular for web stuff, it's PHP. I'm sure we'd all be bitching if Wordpress had been written as a JEE Java application because of Java's verbosity, but it probably wouldn't have half the security issues.
Being a PHP developer doesn't just mean coding in a weird language with a lot of shitty bits, it also means becoming a sysadmin for the most part, as you're constantly having to patch every single websit
you're constantly having to patch every single website you maintain thanks to some Wordpress developer forgetting momentarily that "0" is the same thing as "", allowing a third party to run arbitrary bitcoin miners on your server farm and grab your ssh keys.
I've never had this issue, probably because I write most of the code that goes on my sites, and also because I try to retrofit code that didn't originate with me with some extra sanitizing and hardening.

PHP haters, take note:
"PHP powers 80% of all websites."
Okay code snobs, let the hate flow through you!
