Messy codebases, outdated practices, and spaghetti-style scripts gave it a reputation it barely deserved.
But here’s the twist: PHP evolved.
Today, with PHP 8+, the language is faster, cleaner, and more secure than ever before. Paired with Laravel, it's powering sleek APIs, scalable web apps, and modern SaaS platforms.
PHP’s comeback story is a lesson: It's not about being shiny and new — it's about being reliable, efficient, and battle-tested.
So before you chase the next trendy framework, ask yourself: Are you overlooking a legend that already runs 75% of the internet?

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst. It recently surged to a cycle high of more than 1.60% after starting the year below 1%. But according to Jim Paulsen, the Leuthold Group's chief investment strategist, rising interest rates do not represent a long-term threat to the stock market. Paulsen expects the 10-year yield to cross 2% by the end of the year.
A spike in interest rates and its impact on the stock market depends on the economic backdrop, according to Paulsen. Rising interest rates amid a strengthening economy "may prove no challenge at all for stocks," Paulsen said.
