PHP Sucks
I used to feel the same way a lot of times, a shame it seems for being a PHP dev. Now, I don&#x27;t care. I&#x27;ve been using it since 1999, and I use it to get stuff done.<p>My customers and users of my applications don&#x27;t care what it&#x27;s written in.<p>But, you should definitely learn more languages as a programmer.<p>&gt; And to anyone considering programming as a career, or trying to get into it... stay away from PHP.<p>This is the part I disagree with the most. The language is getting better and better with every release. It&#x27;s incredibly fast, much safer to use (the Error exception type, scalar static type hints, all the garbage from the early 2000&#x27;s has been removed), and easy to work with. The ecosystem (with the introduction of Composer) has _completely_ changed and reinvigorated the language. It&#x27;s easily one of the best package managers out there. I definitely recommend giving PHP a look or a second change if you&#x27;ve written it off.
