The great displacement is already well underway?

PHP is his only language, right? He's in the same situation as Perl-only developers a couple of decades ago.

Not only PHP: "modern technologies I've gone on to learn and be experienced with in more recent years."

Although, there's a Lisp-inspired PHP called Phel: https://phel-lang.org/

And PHP typing with version 7.4.0: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.declarations.ph...

PHP isn't terrible any more. Necessarily, anyway. I wrote a PR for Symfony last year, it was quite a nice experience.

But if the only language he posts about is PHP, I think the source if his hiring problems is clear.
