PHP Software Architect
This one is just to good to not post it her (specially after my business card says me that I'm now a "Software Architect"):
Cute girl: “What do you do?”
Me: “I’m a PHP Software Architect.”
Cute girl: “What’s PHP? It sounds like a drug.”
Me: “No, it stands for PHP Hyper… nevermind. It’s a web language.”
Cute girl: *blank stare*
Me: “It’s the thing that powers more websites than any other language.”
Cute girl: *blank stare*
Me: “Umm, it powers Yahoo!”
Cute girl: “Oh!”
*dead silence*
Cute girl: “Hey, does it ‘power’ MySpace?”
Me: “No, they use dotNet.”
Cute girl: *turns the other way and starts to talk to the other guy*
It's out of Terry's blogpost "Is Ruby the dog and PHP the dogfood" and it's just the best part out of the whole "pissing ruby on rails contest" which started after this harmless post about twitter. But for me the whole discusion isn't that important, language doesn't matter! Just take the tool/language/framework that fit for you, but don't wonder if your easy to use framework scale badly later one, when your in the front of the hype.
