Nah not at all. But I am saying that it's not gonna sway my decision when you bash a technology amidst many other companies that have successfully used the same technology. It just shows a lack of vision imo. My comment wasn't targeted at yours specifically, but was a follow up on the topic.
and imo explanation of why you use one technology over another is not equal to just a "PHP sucks!" blog post.
I can do that, if you really couldn't do it yourself. It's not uncommon at all.
Like I said, I don't do it because I don't think it would help. But in some cases, it can definitely help. How many startups use their dedication to a specific (incrementally more modern) tech stack as a perk while hiring? Quite a few, and these often have subtly disparaging remarks baked in. And I've absolutely had success hiring and growing my team by explaining why we use Clojure over stock java whenever possible.
