 PHP is very much alive whether you like it or not. 
 @425a31b8 let’s crowdfund a hitman 
 @425a31b8 I'm very happy that's it's still going, but it doesn't bring up any nostalgic desire to ever work with it again. 
 @425a31b8 Ahhh when I first heard PHP was becoming hollow (many years ago), I was a fool and believed the prediction, so I started to move towards Java from PHP. Things I learned:

- PHP is still very much used and it's actually getting better and better
- I was happier as a PHP developer than as a Java developer now
- My salary is still shit (it's a bit hard to estimate given the inflation and the fact that I moved to another country, but definitely no such increase as popular surveys show) 
 @425a31b8 I still use it, for my own projects! 
 @425a31b8  I do not get it why?🤷🏻‍♂️
