"What I meant was that PHP and its frameworks allow business person to solve simple problems without hiring a good software developer..."
There seems to be an implication that an org using PHP has not also hired good software developers. Or that a good software developer would not use PHP.
My logic skills may be a bit rusty at this point, but I suspect that's what altdatathrow was reacting to.
- conro1108 6y agoThat’s not how I read it. My take of the GP was more that they believe the _strength_ of PHP is that businesses that don’t have an existing pool of SWE talent can start solving problems with more or less whoever they can get their hands on (I’m trying to be careful not to imply that the “whoever” here is a poor engineer - just that they might not necessarily need to be experts). Then when those projects get traction and start to grow and an engineering org starts to grow and mature around it (with plenty of “good” engineers, whatever that means), the _weaknesses_ of PHP may come to the forefront, making maintaining & expanding the PHP project difficult.
- ptero 6y agoThank you, this is what I meant. I probably could have made my original post clearer.
