I'm as critical as the next guy of how overused and abused serverless/microservice architectures can be, but there's disliking something and being completely disingenuous. Some of the comments every time the subject is even remotely mentioned fall into the latter. This time is not the exception lol
I mean that’s generally the case with most tech. Just like the never ending PHP hate. Plenty of reasons to dislike or not use it but no reason to think it’s the scum of the earth.
On a tangent, I imagine PHP is still one of the most used backends. Wordpress uses PHP and I wouldn't be surprised if 50% or more of the websites I visited are Wordpress sites. So I guess many others experience the same?
Very widely used still and well maintained. It's been a good options since 7 came around. Most of the hate IMO comes from people who were working with PHP4/5 code or people who just saw PHP4/5 code and think that's what the language is today.
