Python vs. PHP: Supply-side question

1 pointrobomartin2 comments

Considering moving to Python for a new project. In listing plusses in minuses one that came-up was "good programmer supply".

I know that there are tons of PHP programmers out there. Good programmers is a different matter. I have no clue as to what the scenario might be like in the Python world. If it matters, I'm in Los Angeles, although I am completely open to working with a remote team.

Any thoughts?

You can find good php programmers (if you accept the premise that good php programmers can exist... some won't.) I don't think that's necessarily a limiting factor if you're willing to fish for them.

You've probably already considered this but it might help filtering to require experience with a proper framework like symfony or laravel, which will have handled most of the "good programming" work for you.

For PHP I was looking at Yii
