@gordoooo_z "Web developer" is definitely a pejorative, and I speak as someone who vomits up PHP daily.
It's in the "webscale" mold, after all.

@Two9A I do have a certain fondness for PHP, specifically for much older versions when it was an objectively trash language lmao. But that's definitely nostalgia more than anything. PHP 4 was one of the first languages I did any serious programming with. Building database queries using basic string manipulation and feeding them into mysql_query() (not even mysqli lol) builds character... in the same way that pointing a loaded weapon directly at your foot builds character, sure, but I had a great time doing it 😅 Modern PHP is fine, I guess. Lol
