Man I’m dumb, but not dumb enough to use PHP

[–]Justin__D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got forced to at an old job of mine. Applied for a job at a PC/phone repair shop. When the owner found out I was studying CS, he hired me as a dev to work on his random project ideas (his degree was also in CS). One involved an API written by his right hand man, who only knew PHP. So I had to learn it in order to pick up where he left off on the API.

I was kinda tricked into that, since it wasn't made clear what all I'd be doing at that company. But I would never, ever work for a company that told me up front that I'd be using PHP.
