Everything you say is well and good, but the businesses with the legacy codebase (PHP or Javascript) are still trying to pay someone to work on their systems, and quite frankly, their money is the same shade of green.

Their culture is different though. Prepare to fight for every minor technical improvement.

That's actually not my experience. I pretty much always had complete technical freedom when brought in as a freelance on e-commerce PHP applications. As long as it enables the business, they let the nerd do the gobbledigook.
