Why PHP is Still Alive? Or Why Node Can't Kill It. (tadeubento.com)

You may hate me for this, but this is what’s really going on. I love JS/TS and Node but the world is built in economies of scale not in love for programming languages… and PHP is the best when it comes to cheap scaling.

Really hope someone at Node decides to make it fast-cgi compatible in a nice way.

This is where PHP shines: the deployment model is dead simple. Write code > Deploy via FTP > You’re live.

Yeah, from any professional perspective, this is a completely fucked up way of working, even for any professional personal blog.

It is, but it is also what happens.
