I hope its referred to as "this is the article idiots who know nothing about modern php reference in a futile attempt to make it appear they know what they are talking about" as every time someone mentions that article it seems to be when they want to show everyone how daft they are.
I use a 20 year old web framework with an 18 year old build system and it was good the moment it came out. That's 66% of the lifespan of old PHP (its still around) and 181% of the lifespan of modern PHP.
You guys are in an awkward position where you are both the old grandpa and the new kid on the block simultaneously while there are competent middle aged workers around.
"You guys"? lol it's just a tool. I don't identify as "a PHP guy" for the same reason I don't identify as a "Rust guy". And labeling others like that is yet another red flag.
I use many languages. Some more than PHP. But that's besides the point.
