> GPT can write and edit code in most popular languages: python, javascript, typescript, html, css, etc.

I love how everyone always leaves PHP off these lists of "popular languages" despite the fact that 80% of the web runs on PHP.

PHP has had enormous staying power despite its idiosyncrasies.

I would however be curious to know what percentage of the 80% (or so) is WordPress et al. Since those largely don't involve folks actually writing code. I suspect a very small amount of PHP code is being run a lot.

I had a largish website with few thousand static webpages. Over a period the pages grew into around 100K with some server side features. Over the course of 10 years I did and redid this site in multiple technologies. React, Angular, Spring Boot + Freemarker etc.

However the PHP power version of it remains best for SEO has near zero downtime and no maintenance what so ever runs on a VM that shares like 10 other websites. traffic serves is around 100K visits a day.
