I don’t hate PHP either. I just want to be able to get another job doing something interesting after I spend 18 months at your company.

Otherwise I’ll be stuck in the public sector maintaining broken Deloitte unemployment portals, making 1/3rd of what junior coding academy developers make.

Easy calculus.

This comment is so true it hurts to read. Same can almost be said for other languages I actually _do_ like (perl, clojure.. sure there's _some_ jobs but the market just isn't the same as many others)

Blame the language for boredom. I think you'll like working at Microsoft. Because they frequently reboot apps, their OS, apis with completely different languages and ui paradigm for absolutely no reason - quite stimulating to the devs.
