Everything you say is good but the PHP part. It's just like telling your own kid to not touch poop, you have to say it.

Meh. I wouldn't try to sway them away from PHP, but I'd try to get them to try something else as soon as possible, and make the introduction to the language an overview of harmful PHP-isms (i.e. explaining the difference between arrays and objects, how equality works on a non-fucked language, showcasing a standard library that isn't a minefield, etc)
I'd be very surprised if you really knew much about PHP.

You can be the judge of their PHP skillz :P

We don't do PHP. If you are so great, why don't you do a Pull Request.

Your post seems rather hostile and I don't think it's warranted.

First, you call PHP poop.

Then someone expresses doubt that you use PHP at all.

I then linked this person to a repository in your github that is written in PHP.

Thus, my actions were disproving the implied statement in "I'd be very surprised if you really knew much about PHP."

At no point did I say I am "so great".

Calm your jimmies. They are rustled thoroughly and for no good reason.
