Same here. I have PHP code in production that dates back to 2008. zero dependencies, a few quirks, it runs on PHP 7.something for now, might upgrade to 8 at some point.
It’s ugly, but it gets the job done.
Best thing is that front-facing HTML and JS from 10+ years ago still works flawlessly, even though the UI is certainly dated.
But I guess that’s the same with HN, where the design never really changed at all and just works.
You do realize PHP 7 is EOL for quite a while now[1]? PHP 8.0 is on security updates only. You might want to upgrade sooner rather than later unless you're paying for backports.
