“false” === true because it’s not an empty string. It’s the same now that it used to be 10 years ago. The PHP equality operator is a meme, not even a joke

I'm not so sure that it's full AI. Might have used it to clean up, but she does seem to want us to believe that it isn't. [0] https://www.linkedin.com/in/fagnerbrack/
LinkedIn, that platform where everyone wrote AI slop by hand before there was AI?
I have found it useful to see the people behind the words, before accusing them of being bots.
But that does beg the question of what, exactly, is “AI slop”? If someone uses it like they would use an editor, to clean up their own prose, does that mean it’s “slop”? Editors have been placing a “corporate stamp” on words for hundreds of years. You always know when an article was placed in The New Yorker, or Harper’s Bazar, because the editor would make sure that the prose matched their style.
We’re really just at the beginning of this journey.
BTW: I’m not saying it wasn’t fully-generated AI prose, but I’m uncomfortable with “knee-jerk” accusations. I have seen some examples of misfires, when it comes to that.
The fact PHP finally has the features of other mature languages is just table stakes I guess? IMO the article failed articulating what is PHP's unique selling point.
In my professional career I've used Python, Ruby, TypeScript, Groovy, but in personal projects I always go with PHP. I'm just more productive with it. And I don't use all of the modern niceties of PHP, I use it exactly like it's still 2010. In my opinion, the dislike towards PHP stems from the same love for complexity that gave us all of the FP-obsession from roughly 2010-2020 (Scala, Clojure, F#, etc.)
I’m the same way, even for little side projects at work. Basic old-school PHP is effortless to setup and maintain on a server. It just works. This means my little side project can remain a little side project, instead of become a burden with a bunch of unnecessary complexity that modern frameworks introduce. Anytime a hello-work tutorial starts with running a command that generates 50 boilerplate folders/files, I die…

PHP is not the only language that has this type of behavior.

What's your web server? To connect PHP with nginx you need a bunch of arcane configuration.
Please, if you want to persuade me, do it yourself. If you don’t believe in it enough to go through the effort to write the article, and instead ask an LLM to do it, it’s not going to convince me.

Some of us have been working with php for 22 years at this point and frankly I think Doctrine is the best ORM period.
