Java developers like to solve the problem the “right way” while the PHP devs solve it “right now”. Latter works much better in early stage startups, but former is easier to maintain longer term.
- smt88 8y agoI agree with what you said except for the generalization that Java devs always (or usually) do things the right way. I have seen some Java software that was a massive spaghetti-and-meatballs mess before it even reached beta.

PHP developers will solve the problem with an if statement and a value in the database.
