Is this the new "Junior devs can't make striped rows in a table"?

Somehow I have the feeling in the PHP world the wish to sepeeate oneself from these pesky juniors from university is rather big.

I left PHP for JS 6 years ago and I have the feeling it was the right decision :/

Also, the ecosystem feels to become more and more like Java, which I wouldn't consider a good thing either. I still have hopes that JS won't end up like that, but it seems the ecosystem goes more in the FP direction, so I'm probably save, hehe.

"pesky juniors from university" you're going to have to explain that concept to me because I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I had the feeling most PHP devs I met were kinda self taught and most told me the story about how junior devs right from university can't really code, often followed by some anecdotes about striped tables or something.
