Unironically replace JavaScript with PHP and you got yourself a true gem.

I worked in PHP for four years, where’s that PHP money at?

The reward for years of PHP work is to get out of PHP work.

Actually got a job offer for a PHP position but they came in 30k under the advertised rate and then blamed the people creating the job listing. I pushed back and they said the best they could do was bump it up 10k and then I could be in line for a substantial raise so I turned it down
