"I don't think PHP is that bad actually"

> NTA, it's a perfectly usable language. You should be able to get a job with decent salary using it. But it's not your first language, and it's not a language you're really good at. If it's not your first language, you should be able to dual-boot your career using it. Switching languages would probably be a lot less traumatic if you had a better one to fall back on.

> YTA! If you dig it that much, learn it and do it on your own time. This site was started by a person who decided to take up PHP as her hobby. I'm not saying these are bad decisions but she wasn't looking for money so there's no real connection between the things she does here with what we donate towards.

> YTA. DON'T EVEN START. You are aware that not everyone is a coder right? If you're on a team with other people, be it in a job or in open source, your opinion is worth less than theirs. If you want to be a coder, learn to work with other people.

"Liking my cats more than people"

> NTA. I have two cats and people are always trying to pick them up. I tell them no and then they usually just let go. Sometimes they even try to fight people away from them. I love my cats way too much to let people pick them up.

> YTA- I'm sorry to say that cat people are the worst.

> YTA for saying you like your cats more than people. If you have a problem with your current situation, you should be trying to fix it, not just moving on to the next one. You say you like your cats more than people, but don't explain why. What are you doing to make your life better? Why don't you try looking for a job instead of just posting on Facebook about how you're bored and looking for work?

The first one on PHP is... Wow...
Apt?

I feel the same way about JS and I get harsher if you're under 40.

Time to dual-boot my career!
