I met Taylor a few years ago at a conference we were both speaking at. Coming from the iOS world, I had no idea who he was.
"So, what do you work with?"
"PHP mainly", he said.
I replied "That sucks, sorry man."
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- 0des 5y agoWhat was his response?
- benreesman 5y agoMaking money in PHP is better than making none at all!
- jordanmorgan10 5y agoWe both just laughed
- 0des 5y agoGlad he was able to take it in stride. I bet it was funny when you realized who it was
- dabernathy89 5y agoWe're used to it . You're wrong, though!
- jordanmorgan10 5y agoHaha not surprised - ecosystem seems to be doing very well.
- phendrenad2 5y agoThe fact that everyone thinks that PHP is terrible is really good at keeping the ecosystem healthy. No one is swooping in and overcomplicating the stack for internet brownie points. If something exists, it exists to solve a real problem.
- aarondf 5y agoThat's kind of a mean thing to say. Maybe that's what your shrug meant?
- jonwinstanley 5y agoTo be fair, the guy is doing alright. His business is booming. He probably gets the PHP pity all the time and has learnt to deal with it.
