I'd like to forward a different theory: Python programmers seem, generally, to be an experienced bunch. This means that they're probably already employed, whether full-time, or too many contracts in the queue. I take applications for C#, Python, and PHP programmers, and I wouldn't hesistate to say that nearly 90% of the resumes I get for the Python focused jobs are profoundly more qualified than the PHP resumes, and to a lesser extent, C#. If you post a PHP job, you'll often get a beginner developer, who, with the deceptive ease it takes to learn PHP, believes they're qualified for an entry-level web development job, and an experienced programmer. That's my experience. Just sayin'. dw -- - http://stderr.ws/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
