Haha, they are rich but they acquired this small company. I don't know what they were thinking while building backend in PHP, from the looks of it, majority of their devs are proficient in that only.
- claudiulodro 1y agoWordPress backend is PHP, so it makes sense to use the same language throughout. I've been doing PHP professionally for a long time, and as long as you know other languages (which you do), you surely won't get pigeonholed into PHP roles forever. IMO the question is not whether you should take a PHP job, it's whether you should take a job building a hosting control panel. Is that type of work something you're interested in? Do you want to become an expert in web hosting? There are lots of companies in the web hosting space, so it could be a solid career domain, but not if it's super boring to you.
- nobitanobi 1y agoI am assuming it would just be REST apis and micro services right? Won't be much different from building any other backend. Is my assumption correct or does the hosting platform backend work any differently? I was told they serve billion request daily, but I doubt the control planes api would be handling such scale daily. I mean if I take up this job my next job would not be in the same domain. I don't have much interest in webdev, but this role also provides the infra exposure so I thought of interviewing. Also wouldn't using Java or Golang make more sense here if the scale is such?
