"If you ever find yourself writing a blog post on why PHP sucks, you are not ready."

About 4 articles down the article is about why PHP doesn't suck. This amuses me for some reason.

It's amusing because it's absurd. CTOs write articles about technology choices all the time, and sometimes its even tactical.

If I thought slagging PHP in a blog would get us more hires, I'd do it without hesitation.

I can't for the life of me think of a reason this kind of blog post would make me want to join a company. If anything it shows the opposite quality of a CTO as mentioned in the article. Use what is suited to your needs, don't worry about appealing to the tech crowd. After all, even if PHP is shit, it's not your problem. Let us handle implementation of what you need, we will (or our lead dev will) help you understand pros and cons to certain technologies. Besides, for every article written about why PHP sucks, there's at least 5 PHP devs looking for work :P

It's obvious click baiting to promote his own blog entry.
