I will say this for PHP: Its interaction with my brain had such a nearly-disastrous impact on my life, that it finally allowed me to finally get the mental health treatment I'd been seeking for a decade, and to realize the fundamental and unfixable weakness of my marriage.

If you enjoy eating pad Thai, that is great for you. I do too. But different people are different and the effect of peanuts on some people are quite dramatic yet real.
Choosing not to work with PHP is no more elitist than choosing not to eat gluten or peanuts.
- d1str0 6y agoThere's an obvious difference between choosing not to use PHP and shitting on an entire language based on a decade's old idea of the language is.
- afarrell 6y agoThe PHP project experience which cost me a job that I loved, nearly got me kicked out of my home, and prompted multiple evenings of suicidal ideation, and led my wife to be filled with anger at me even 7 months later is from the end of 2018. I am responsible for how I manage my mental health. Part of exercising that responsibility is my firm choice I will never again work with PHP.
