Coldfusion Memes

The eternal zombie apocalypse of PHP development in one perfect timeline! From 1995's "PHP is dead, use ColdFusion!" to 2002's ASP.NET hype train, through Ruby on Rails and Django eras, all the way to 2018's NextJS revolution... yet somehow PHP keeps shambling along despite three decades of obituaries. It's the cockroach of programming languages—surviving nuclear winters, framework fads, and endless "X is the PHP killer" declarations. By 2025, we'll all be attending its 30th birthday party while secretly writing The real joke? Half the internet still runs on it. Complicated love indeed.

The eternal zombie apocalypse that is PHP development. Since 1995, developers have been declaring PHP dead while recommending the hot new framework—ColdFusion, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, Django, NextJS—only for PHP to keep shambling along, refusing to die. By 2025, we'll be celebrating its 30th birthday while still writing those same

The tech world's most reliable constant isn't Moore's Law—it's our ability to prematurely declare PHP dead while it quietly powers half the internet. From ColdFusion (1995) to ASP.NET (2002) to Ruby on Rails (2004) to Django (2006) to NextJS (2018), we've spent three decades confidently announcing PHP's funeral while writing our revolutionary frameworks that will "definitely replace it this time." Yet here we are in 2025, celebrating PHP's 30th birthday. The language that refuses to die despite our best efforts. It's like that coworker who keeps surviving layoffs despite doing everything in Comic Sans.
