There are better languages for making big money as a salaryman than PHP.

The arguments that PHP is still modern/relevant are more arguments for its use in getting things done. If you just want to maximize income as an employee, learn Rust, Go, or Java. (Or Swift or C# if you wanna go into Those industries and stick with dead-end fanservice languages.)

Furthermore, if you’re a senior team lead, you’re a manager, not a programmer. Why do you care which language is used at that point? UML is UML.

Pretty sure there is no hard definition of lead programmer.

For example on my current team the lead also programs a lot. We go to him for questions and maybe code review. UML comes from the architects.

Might be similar in OPs case.

Over 80% of the internet is written in PHP

20% of the internet generates 80% of the revenue, and the salary for the webdev. Guess how much of that 20% is PHP? And how much of the 80% is PHP?
