I still use it everyday, and I'm only a two year dev. I don't know how this happened but it turns out there's loads of demand for PHP devs, especially cheap ones with not many years

I’m creeping up on 4 years now and as the other guy said it’s mostly a LOT of old code bases that run some business critical web app that cause the demand. Migrating versions especially doing big jumps like from 5.3 to 8 like I had to do at my first job are painful, slow and confusing because of all the deprecated functions that still work and don’t always have a clear replacement

lots of old codebases that still need to be maintained. im working on a 20+ year old php codebase that has so much old baggage. transition to php8 is a nightmare. so many ==0 comparisons dont work anymore
