Honest question, have there been startups which chose PHP recently?
To be even more honest, I never thought that PHP was dying, but I often thought it should not be used for new projects.
Previous job was in a very PHP-oriented company and it was just a Java alternative, the only advantage being the edit and refresh page dev cycle, and being worse in every other way. Perhaps Laravel could have changed my mind, as most devs there hated Laravel because of the magic (some then proceeded to implement control flows with typed exception throwing so maybe not the greatest bunch to discuss such things)
- NabilChiheb 2y agoTo answer your question YES https://wellfound.com/startups/tech/php https://wellfound.com/startups/tech/php I believe a good developer chooses technologies based on use case and requirements, not emotions. All technologies can coexist effectively. Personally, I use PHP, Node.js, and other like Python for different scenarios, selecting the best fit for each project's needs.
- paxys 2y agoPlenty of "new projects" are really just WordPress deployments, and companies need PHP developers to customize it to fit their business processes. I'd imagine that's the market for 90% of PHP developers being hired today.
- spiderfarmer 2y agoMy project uses PHP and it’s pretty successful. Technology doesn’t matter as much as executing quickly on your ideas.
