In a world where everything is fast becoming a JavaScript front end with “some” backend and with the improvements PHP has seen in recent years I don’t see why you’d consider yourself a “lowly” php developer.
I’m mainly a C# guy myself as far as the backend goes, but I don’t view PHP as being bad in 2022. I think people who do are stuck in the past to be perfectly honest.
It’s sort of like disliking JavaScript because it really sucked the soul out of you before typescript eventually made it nice to work with.
But being mad at any programming language is sort of silly isn’t it? If it works it works.
