I’ve heard of Pythonistas and Rustaceans. What are some of the other names given to devs writing in, for example, PHP or C++. Appreciate any answers - both serious and joking.

            PHP stands for “PHP Hypertext Processor”. The PHP in that stands for “PHP Hypertext Processor”. This pattern repeats infinitely.

              Ah, yeah, I knew that at one point. I find recursive acronyms so tacky I tend to tune that information out lol.

      Our mascot is the Elephpant and I like to think PHP developers are also Elephpants.

          Yea, but you run it together awkwardly.
