I mean there is probably no point in saying anything to you since you seem to have made up your mind and don't care about anything else.
But how exactly is a "PHP developer" equal to being a negative/bad programmer?

There's no point in having a conversation if we all need to cheer on the article. Yeah, I've made up my mind. I think this article is misguided. No amount of technical changes to PHP changes legacy codebases or exactly the opening paragraph of the article that everybody seems to be ignoring.
I have long given up on "language choice" as a marker that automatically says anything about a developer at all.
Java was known for being so slow as to be absolutely worthless 20 years ago, and it still has a reputation for being slow despite many benchmarks proving otherwise.
Yeah, sure, if you take a PHP project from a legacy code base and run a server with it, it'll probably get hacked within minutes, but that says nothing about current-gen PHP.
