Are you an amatuer?
Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2005 11:48 pm
Today i was shooting the breeze with a client and he asked the question, "Compared to other sites how 'professional' PHP wise is the one you've given us?"
Now modesty and all that aside i told him tha i honestly thought that it was up there with the best of them as i belived it was, but it got me to thinking. PHP is so easy to pick up and just start using as we can see from these forums that i wondered how many what i'm calling 'amatuers' are writing/selling PHP sites for clients?
I think you know when you're an amatuer without having to class it as say, 'less than one years practical usage'. So the real question i want to know the answer to is this, 'Are you an amatuer who's creating and selling PHP sites to clients?'.
I think we've all been at a point where we've know we're not entirley up to the job but we can get away with it ( i have been there) .. are you currently at that point now but are exaggerating your capabilities? (and remember .. all modesty aside, there's nothing wrong with being an amatuer, i'm just after honest answers
)
