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!

Is disliking something that (allegedly) is more popular with women than the average thing of its category anti-woman, even if no part of the complaint involves the user or their gender? The majority of users is likely still male anyway.

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.

According to my sister-in-law, yes. I don't like Taylor Swift's music and apparently that makes me a misogynist.
