saying one language is "training wheels" compared to another is not true at all.
What if a programmer is trained on PHP and not say rub on rails? or vise versa.
It is what you are good at using. has nothing to do with the language itself. I see the pic and it is not true.
my programmer programs in php and he is paid 100k a year+ and he is 20 years old. im sure he cares that "senior" programmers who he makes more than likes to laugh at him for programming in php is all i am saying.
it is not just a quick laugh and go. because this is what 90% of programmers think. and that is why i dont work with them.

If you coded in php for 10 years, you can code in php.... if you code in many other languages, you can code in php without thinking about it, learn it in 20 minutes, probably code it without reference. A php coder can't do that in the reverse, unless they really are a programmer.
If you're paying a php coder 100k a year, you're off your rocker. The only php coder worth that is the one that works for themselves that created code that people demand that they keep up with - ie: a business man that can code. At a 100k a year, you could triple your code output and it still be at the same quality.
A 100k a year coder is vastly skilled, easily a master in 3 languages - normally more, along with strong administration skills and probably some advanced hacking skills, and does all of those and codes too OR they work for themselves and have mastered that skill.
