Ask HN: What YC companies are built mainly with PHP?

#2As much of a "bad wrap" that PHP has - you can still build a modern, functional app with it. You might not be able to move as quickly as with say Node these days - but it can be built. Although, knowing Rails, Php, Node, and a few others very well - I would spend the few weeks to teach the team node. The productivity saved down the road would be immense (I say this from having started a few tech startups 1php, 2rails, 1node)

Move quickly, as in? Care to elaborate? What productivity?

Why is node magic?

Why is node magic?
It's not magic per se. I will caveat that I never liked the way Rails does MVC, so I've always used Rails as logic source (api and SaaS "brain"). I abhor Rails View approach, as it's kludgey and requires a Rails team to make front end changes. But having a common language (js) works for me. And scaling Rails while is much more work (and I think requires a bigger team) than with Sails JS (which I use). Development seems faster (no measurements - just a feeling). Granted Sails built ins make the difference on moving faster in node.
