I only ask for a language that is readable so that code can be readily understood among a team developers, and PHP is universally understood. It may not be cool, but less time is wasted obsessing over being more clever.

Most clients don't understand the R2D2 talk. They understand money, features, bugs, and downtime. So I've always explained it like so: Uptime beyond 95% costs lots and lots of money. Magnitudes of order of more money. It requires redundant

... and some hiring managers would communicate that to HR, but honestly, to HR people it all sounds like R2D2 talking to the trash compactor. You got to imagine some key deciders reading your resume has no clue what any of it means, they do
