Working in a shop that has approximately 15 times more System-I as/400 iSeries (whatever you want to call it) programmers, I've been immersed into their culture, standards and mindset. As you can imagine, as a fresh new programmer for emerging web technologies, there was some struggle between me and the analysts for this older language. However, as I stepped back and actually looked at their directions, suggestions and practice, I found 5 things that I actually should integrate into my methodology.

This is 5 things that *any* programmer should know. I guess that makes it revolutionary to PHP users.

Some of the points are introductory - some are reminders - I don't see how your reply relates to point #5. How is that something that 'everyone' should know? Its a responsibility that PHP programmers generally have that I wouldn't have thought that other programmers wouldn't have wanted. Most I've ran into are generally very standoffish about their environment - which was surprising to me.

Thanks for your comment.

See, thats the problem, most PHP developers work on their own project from start to finish. In the enterprise world, its nothing like that, and you have to be skilled in communicating to the business owners in non technical terms.

Again, pretty much commonsense to most programmers, astonishing bits of wisdom for PHP devs :)

There is no problem. He's a novice developer and learned something from more experienced folks. Stop bashing PHP as it has nothing to do with it.
