I now officially hate all HR drones that cut you off the moment you admit you're lacking professional experience in their company's particular web development platform or RDBMS. Seriously, PHP isn't a difficult language to master, especially if you've spent years learning ASP, JavaScript, JSP, JSF, Ruby on Rails... a 14-year-old kid could pick up PHP in a week. How hard a time do they think I'm going to have? It's not like learning freaking Japanese. You think your software is sooooooo complex and important that only a seasoned PHP expert is going to be able to understand it? Give me a week with it and it'll be running 50x smoother and faster, and I'll have 60% of your bugs FOUND and ELIMINATED.
Look on my wall, people! Cornell freaking University. Ivy freaking League Engineering. I didn't pay $40K a semester NOT to be able to pick up a new language and run with it on my first day. You deserve that undereducated script kiddie that you're gonna end up hiring because he hacked together his buddy's uncle's company's website in PHP one weekend and put it on his resume.
No offense to HR people on this forum or PHP script kiddies of course.
Now excuse me while I go cry at the sordid state of affairs I find myself in.
