alt Hacker NewsI am not laughing about PHP. To this very day many of my best projects are built on PHP. And while last 7 years I have spent in full stack JavaScript/TypeScript environment it has never produced the same things I was actually able to do with PHP.
I actually feel that things I built 15 years ago in PHP were better than anything I am trying to achieve with modern things that gets outdated every 6 months.

what in God's Name could you do in PHP that you can't do in a modern framework?

The comparison target for PHP is IMHO a good Python web framework, e.g. Django being the most popular one. I still don't understand how JavaScript is ever considered viable, TypeScript makes it workable I guess…
I feel like today an engineer with a modern framework and AI con produce in an afternoon a product that deliver real value, something that 25 years ago would have required a full hour by a high schooler with MS Access.
