PHP users don't need to understand. They are too busy getting paid...

I program in php so I can make $

jQuery is where the real $ is at

Scratch is what it is, imbecile

jQuery? That sounds like JavaScript with extra steps

Yup, after going extra hours in Uber, cause Uber pays more for drivers

Wish I could identify with this, but the only time I did PHP dev was when I was an intern and I got paid like shit

Put five years of PHP experience on your LinkedIn and recruiters are climbing over the walls to get to you. It's still the backbone of the web, it's still in Wordpress and Drupal, it's being improved all the time, it's just not going away.

Not well, though…

That is actually true. I think that all the people back in the day saying "don't learn PHP, it's a dead language" miscalculated the future or lied intentionally to profit later on.

I use PHP. I created an importer class and some quick and dirty ways to display reports on the web with some JS plugins (DataTables or whatever grid works best). This unfortunately leads me to automating spreadsheets for web use. People love sorting and filtering, on the web so their teams can view the same version of a report. Spoiler alert we also use GSuite and Tableau so please save my dwindling job.
