 Old PHP code is pretty gnarly. New PHP code can still be written like it was 2002, but ot doesn't have to be.

Nextcloud, for example, is pretty nice looking PHP code. Ot's not perfect, but if you're a long time PHP dev, you might be surprised to see things like... classes! 🤣 
 

Oh Nextcloud, I use it, is the most buggy and bloated php app ever written I bet 
 Do you use it? 
 Yup. Buggy mess. Contacts and Tasks won't even display 
 Contacts works for me. I don’t use tasks. 
 The people have spoken.

#nostr don’t have a choice here being on the nuclear economies side of life having been a problem for people mothering wars and tyranny.

 What version are you on?

It worked om 29 but nothing on 30 
 Im still on 28 😅  
 Oh smart man!
29 is safe.
30 is shit
 
 Well I did a restore a couple of weeks back when an update broke my instance (to version 30 I think and I was still on 28 while I had to update to 29 first). My Nextcloud is fully dockerized with docker compose, but my knowledge with PHP did helped me a lot to restore the instance. But in general to me it’s pretty impressive what Nextcloud is doing with that PHP codebase. But if you would build the today from scratch, I can imagine there are better languages which will do the job.  
 Do you use memories? You can make photos just like icloud andbuse your gpu to transcode videos to save bandwidth  
 No I’m not aware of that feature. Main reason why I use Nextcloud is for backing up our camera rolls from our phones.  
 PHP fits the ‘worse is better’ category pretty well

I’m running a Nextcloud instance too, the codebase is pretty massive
