It is completely possible to have a PHP application written 3+ years ago that is well maintained, continues to promote best practices, has excellent test coverage, that isn’t a nightmare to deal with. It’s also possible for the opposite, but that’s the case with every language. In my 20+ years of professional experience, the biggest factor come down to what values a team sets as priorities.
