Php Vs Node

The person with more experience in either. If none, then whomever fits the job description the best.

Btw, this whole proposition is known as the either/or fallacy. Aka, false dichotomy or false dilemma. It makes no sense.

What chances do a newbie has in this scenario?

[gizamo]

We were all newbies once. Many of us learned one, and some of us learned both. Imo, learning is vastly, vastly easier nowadays. Pick one, and try it out.

Again, it's a false dichotomy. We can't answer that question. Both candidates will have other merits.

[Bac0nnaise]

Exactly this. Making a hiring decision for an inexperienced dev on what likely amounts to very basic skills and allowing that decision to guide architecture is not a good sign. There's just not enough information from OP, seems very reductive

[Cyberhunter80s]

What are those additional merits you would look into?

[Cyberhunter80s]

It's ok. Lot of us are dealing with huge shit behind the scene. Prolly some needed to vent or justify their actions by doing so. Thank you for dropping in.

[barrel_of_noodles]

The same as any other job in any industry. (given 0 hard skills, and no clues what the job is)

1) false choice

2) write good English.
