What is this title? The page is named "PHP Sucks" and the heading also says "PHP Sucks".
It is a play on John Lennons' and Yoko Onos' song [1] and in my personal opinion it conveys the content of the post much better than a simple "PHP sucks", because we are all used to hearing that all the time, and the post is not really about the suckiness of PHP itself, but rather prejudice against it and the people who use it in the dev community.

Your title breaks the guidelines [1] on multiple fronts:
please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize
Please don't do things to make titles stand out
So, it's clearly against the guidelines to modify titles to what you personally think is better.
And using that word in 2019 is extremely provocative and not appropriate to invoke when discussing programming languages.

> I hate it, because it makes me feel defensive. PHP in their minds is much worse than it practically is. I’m tired of defending PHP, I’m tired of being set back and having to proof my competence by virtue of being a PHP programmer.
>We’re not taken as seriously, and we’re being paid less. The 2016 StackOverflow Survey puts PHP developers as the least paid. Hilariously that position is shared with “LAMP” and “Wordpress”, both of which are also PHP. We’re also among the “most dreaded”.
