You're living in a HN bubble if you seriously think no new projects are being created in PHP, or if you think there are no valid use cases for PHP in modern app

You're living in a HN bubble if you seriously think no new projects are being created in PHP, or if you think there are no valid use cases for PHP in modern applications. Simply take a look at popular job sites - you don't even have to look at Monster. PHP devs may be the cheapest as a whole because there's so many. If you're dead-set on finding a Go programmer they will come at a cost because there's so few. Once you get into the higher level of skill, though, it starts evening out. IIRC the average senior salary for Ruby/RoR devs is only ~$5,000 more than a PHP dev.

> You're living in a HN bubble if you seriously think no new projects are being created in PHP, or if you think there are no valid use cases for PHP in modern applications. I asked for reasons. You just told me it happens. I know it happens, I want to see a solid justification. > Simply take a look at popular job sites - you don't even have to look at Monster. For less pay. > Once you get into the higher level of skill, though, it starts evening out. IIRC the average senior salary for Ruby/RoR devs is only ~$5,000 more than a PHP dev. Why shouldn't I take the job with better pay and a better language?
