Yep, PHP is turning 30 this year! Wondering if “PHP is still relevant?” Ever since we have been hearing that PHP is dead. It was “dead” 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and “is dead” today. But somehow - it isn’t. Anyway… happy birthday!

    PHP will never die. As long as code is written there will be PHP developers there to claim it’s good now.

    Yup! Every time we add a new technology, the old does not go away. We just have more (gestures wildly) everything.

    When picking a career specialization, don’t abandon all the old stuff. Some of it makes a lucrative career after others have moved on (HPC, COBOL, on-site servers).

    Array_filter and array_map having the arguments swapped pisses me of so much.!

    Magic quotes were the single biggest mistake I’ve ever seen any language standard make.
