Three decades of people screaming "PHP is dead!" and here we are, still writing it. The beautiful irony? Every alternative they pushed you toward had its moment in the sun, then faded into "legacy code" territory, while PHP just... kept going.
ColdFusion, ASP.net, Django, Rails, Flask, AngularJS (RIP), Next.js, Python—all great technologies, but the tech industry's favorite pastime is declaring things dead and forcing migrations. Meanwhile, PHP developers have been quietly maintaining 78% of the web, getting paid, and watching the JavaScript framework circus from a safe distance.
The punchline? You ignored all the "PHP is dead" warnings for 30 years, built your career on it, and now you're too invested to jump ship even if you wanted to. Your entire codebase is PHP, your team knows PHP, your deployment pipeline is PHP. Congratulations, you've become the legacy system.
Fun fact: WordPress (PHP) still powers 43% of all websites. So yeah, "dead" language running nearly half the internet. Makes total sense.
