Oh, that’s the next excuse i’ll use when a recruiter asks for my github page. “i’m protecting my product”.

Most of the hate for php was born back in version 3 or 4, when it was a mess. Also a lot of people who where in college in those years learned php as a first language.

Combine a language that does not enforce good coding practices and a lot of people making their first website, and you get some pretty horrible codebases.

As part of my job is to maintain legacy php websites, I’ve seen lovercraftian nightmares. I love modern php, but I get where all this hate is coming from.
