"plus PHP makes you a very uncommon find, right"
What? Half the programmers I know in NYC write PHP. The other half write a combo of Java/C#/Python. These aren't programmers working for startups - they are working for companies and the government.
PHP is used everywhere. Except maybe in SFO (and surrounding area).
I mean look at the job listings for NYC, DC, Miami, Baltimore, Louisville, etc, etc.
Look I know this board is focused on Silicon Valley, but it's a big world out there.
- eagsalazar2 8y agoCalling out the regional dimension to the popularity of PHP is totally valid. I think the thing I'm really reacting to is people repeatedly saying "the client doesn't care" which I vehemently disagree with.
- crag 8y agoSome clients care. But many don't. They just want something to work. And even if they did what is wrong about choosing PHP?
