Should you be a platform developer?
- gexla 14y agoQuote pulled from the article... > Swallow your pride and start learning a platform. There are a ton of opportunities right now for platform work, that work is not going to end any time soon and you might as well take the plunge sooner than later. There will be some limitations but in return you will get some opportunities that were not possible before This is a great point. A lot of people here ask how to get into freelancing doing Ruby or Python work, but there are a lot of opportunities for platform work. This is especially true in the PHP world with Wordpress, Magento, Drupal, etc. I believe these ecosystems are much easier to target than general application development because they attract paying clients who can better grasp what a platform will do for them as opposed to a programming language or framework.
- TechHike1 14y agoThanks. I don't have much experience on the PHP side but I think the issue would be similar. Essentially we are all moving up the stack and we need to adapt which is difficult :/
