The thing with government stuff is that no one is held accountable. Even people “fired” from doing a lousy job in a place will just be transfered to another department or another government agency. No one really gets fired fired. And when you know nothing happens to your job… there is no incentive to be good at it.
Knowing the govt sector, the developers probably got hired 20 years ago and enjoy their stable, chill, even if a bit low pay job. No need to do CV-Driven Development and chase any new trend if the site's running and they're not looking for a new position...
It's what you get, when you scrape the bottom of the barrel with the salaries you are willing to pay. Are you willing to take a 1/3 pay cut for no good reason? You are welcome to work in such positions.
Be thankful there are only so few.

Bot account? It's been 2026 for a while now.
Came here to say this. Absolutely insane.
Why is phpMyAdmin even still needed/wanted in 2026? It's not exactly user friendly for a developer, let alone an average Gov employee...

Because most of the Wordpress shops only know how to work with PHPMyAdmin.
Clarify what is "used today" and what features phpmyadmin provided that are "no longer needed". Until then your comment is just a juvenile attack.
Quit the lowkey PHP bashing, please.
I think (a public) phpMyAdmin in 2026 deserves a good bashing.
(I have been working with PHP for 20 years)
Yeah, PHP bashing should be highkey.
