Except in the many thousands of companies that are looking for PHP programmers, where not having it on a resume is damaging.
- joshuamorton 8y agoCertainly, but I'd guess that most of the people who worked at Jane Street are looking to work at places that also don't use PHP. Either that, or they're looking at jobs with hiring managers intelligent enough to realize that they can pick up a new language on the job.
- thanatropism 8y agoHonestly, people who are looking for PHP programmers are not looking for me. It's not going to be a fulfilling experience for me, and I'm not going to be a great fit for their company culture. (I'm in a "microservices architecture" (their word, not mine; I find it cringey, but eh) org where we're expected to deliver features as REST APIs, programming language be damned.)
