Despite of what developers like to think, success is not linked to technical competence. Achieving the former allows you to address the latter.

This should be said on HN more often. No text editor, package manager, or library is going to make you a success.

You're right it's not, but we talk about it a lot.

This is one reason I'm moving back to the LAMP stack. It's ugly, boring, and cheap. Great for prototyping.

Yep, running side by side with PHP 5.5! I highly suggest trying it, it's an awesome implementation.

Or, more accurately, achieving the former allows you to hire 20 engineers to achieve the latter.
