Hard sell. Calling people you know nothing about “bad developers” because they don’t like your tool on the other hand, that was cringe as hell and just made you look like you somehow tied your self-worth to php. “If my tool gets criticized; that means I’m being criticized!”
If you don’t give in to that, you start to see “Oh, that bug wouldn’t have happened if I’d been using [x]” and you become a better developer
When a woodworker cuts iself with a bandsaw, people who do what you do scream “He’s a bad woodworker!”
And while they’re screaming, we invented guardrails
There are reasons to dislike a language, but there are no reasons to hate a language, certainly not one that is as ubiquitous as PHP. There’s no argument you could make for why someone hates a programming language.
I used php for 2 years and I hate on it it’s not just people who’ve never used it
no clue what your point is.
The comment above claimed only people who never used PHP hate on it. The point was a counter claim to that.
Ok I can add another group to my list then: bad php developers
Good developers don’t get tribal about the tools they use
It makes them able to switch away from them for better ones
I use typescript now

This entire thread is a tribal post that I had a problem with!! You don’t seem to understand this but I don’t care.

Gotta block you. This is nothing I want any part of.
Dude who gives a shit to know that
Pointing out what sucks in a language isn’t tribalism, calling people “bad developers” when they don’t like your tool on the other hand, …
level 1: “this argument is worthless because you are stupid!”
level 300: “everyone who hates php is just an idiot tbh”
Just standard discourse from the php community

Introducing bugs into code way more often than others with similarly skilled programmers is one good reason to hate it…
