I wouldn't pay too much attention to what "the webdev industry is doing". That's how we ended up with MBs worth of javascript to display a simple website, not to mention the cpu required to render single page apps that won't even let you open a separate tab and constantly break.
Most people in this industry are either junior devs that have no idea what they're doing, mid level devs that fall for the hype and don't like "boring" tech (battle tested, reliable) and end up using stuff that's not even production ready, and senior devs that overengineer and optimize prematurely.
Just keep on your path and don't pay attention to the dummies. PHP is great and will never die.
- lgl 4y agoDefinitely agree with this. And I'll blatantly add that sometimes it even appears as some sort of elitism/not-fashionable thing. As if suggesting something that doesn't need 12 build steps, 2 transpiler passes, and 4 discombobulator demagnetizations before you finally serve your 2mb of javascript, that will then spend another 5 seconds of your crappy cpu cycles to render something that will inevitably break your back button is some sort of bad thing. PHP is great and will never die.
- lazy_moderator1 4y agoagreed, for some projects it might make sense - but i've seen plenty of them completely ruined by switching over to node
