It looks like the "learn to code" push is backfiring spectacularly for those who majored in computer science in college.

    I interviewed for(and got offered but didn’t accept because the compensation wasn’t worth moving from my cushy C#/typescript job) a PHP role a couple weeks ago, which I didn’t think anyone used any more and they certainly don’t teach in 99% of uni courses, I only had experience with it from personal project before even uni, terrible language btw don’t recommend

        Nah C is too ubiquitous in lower level/high performance stuff to be going anywhere soon

        probably still quite high cause of things built on it like WordPress

        When I said ‘which I didn’t think anyone used any more’ I meant for starting new projects rather than maintaining legacy stuff
