I was using PHP frameworks between 2007 and 2011. Have you been watching what has been happening with the Python-based frameworks in the past 10+ years?

What I was most hoping to get from this blog post is to encourage PHPers to give Python a go. Try it out, build something in it. I think lowering the amount of bespoke PHP code in the wild would help the software industry as a whole.

I left my native Canada when I was 19 to write code abroad. I've since had work in four different countries on three continents. I might not end up being wealthy but I've enjoyed myself and don't regret a thing.
