No, it's not the money. It's comfort, and the opportunity for less compromises when picking jobs. I want to be able to choose between three Ruby/Python/whatever shops and pick one with the coolest people and coolest projects, rather than having one Ruby/Python and two PHP shops to choose from.
And, unlike you, I don't think these articles are pointless. I hope they help PHP get more bad reputation among coders, and peer pressure will do the rest.
- slantyyz 15y agoTo paraphrase something Neil DeGrasse Tyson said to Richard Dawkins: If you want to change someone's opinion about something, you need to be sensitive to the state of mind of the person you're trying to convince. Bashing and negativity is not the way to do it. You'll get much farther showing a PHP person something more interesting (whether it be Rails, Django, or whatever) and highlighting all the cool things about it. Because that person will not be on the defensive, his/her mind will be way more likely to have that 'Wow, that's so cool I should try it' moment.
