Hear, hear!
In 1998, I did my work experience at a local ISP and was tasked with coding a backend that would create accounts for people wanting to buy an internet subscription from us.
IIS was still in beta so my boss decided I would use Linux, this new fangled language called PHP and just write a CGI in C that would do the actual creation of accounts on our server (IIRC).
I spent a few weeks on a console terminal, using vi, doing C; which was as abominable as one might expect. PHP was fucking magic, in comparison.
And on the front-end, I used a bit of JavaScript to add some interaction and reactivity and that was just fun!
Heck, seventeen years later and I still think it’s a fun language to use.
Anyway I don’t know where in was going with this… you kids don’t know how good you have it, is what I’m saying.
