Ah, the eternal bathroom standoff between PHP and literally everyone else. After 30+ years of being the internet's punching bag, PHP devs have developed the thickest skin in tech. While other languages come and go with their fancy new paradigms, PHP just keeps chugging along like that legacy codebase nobody wants to touch but somehow powers half the internet. The best part? By 2025, PHP devs won't even flinch at the hate. They'll just be counting their WordPress maintenance contract money while the "modern" JavaScript framework of the week implodes spectacularly. Remember: PHP has been "dying" since 2004, yet somehow still runs 77% of the web. That's not a language—that's a cockroach with job security.

The eternal zombie of web development strikes again! PHP continues to shamble along despite countless "PHP is dead" articles published every year since approximately 2005. The language that powers 77% of all websites somehow persists through constant ridicule, security concerns, and syntactical oddities that would make any CS professor weep. Yet there it is, running WordPress, Facebook, and probably your company's legacy codebase that nobody wants to touch. Its survival skills are unmatched - like a cockroach after nuclear winter, PHP simply refuses to die.

The bathroom standoff of programming languages continues into 2025. While other devs avoid the PHP programmer at the urinals like he's carrying a digital plague, the PHP dev is still clinging to relevance with that desperate "78% of the Internet" statistic. It's the coding equivalent of that guy who peaked in high school and won't stop talking about that one touchdown. Sure, WordPress powers a chunk of the web, but so did Internet Explorer once upon a time. Doesn't mean it wasn't a dumpster fire with legacy support.

That thousand-yard stare when you've just spent hours debugging someone's ChatGPT-generated WordPress PHP abomination. The code technically "works" but violates every coding standard known to mankind. You've fixed it, but at what cost? Your soul? Your sanity? Both? This is the face of a developer who just discovered 17 nested if statements and a function named "do_the_thing_please_work()" with 300 lines of uncommented spaghetti code. The war flashbacks are real.
