Ashamed to Use PHP

Next week I'm starting my new job as a PHP backend developer at Pornhub. Not gonna lie, I'm quite ashamed to tell my family and friends I will be using PHP.

A dark-mode social media comment says the speaker is starting a backend developer job at Pornhub and feels ashamed to tell family and friends that they will be using PHP. The joke relies on the double meaning of “PHP”: the workplace sounds embarrassing because of Pornhub, while PHP itself is a common backend programming language. It is used as a reaction to awkward career choices, embarrassing explanations, or jokes about programmers and web development.
