Looks like I'm not the only programmer who tries to stay away from computers on the weekends. But yes, not everyone here is a hobbyist or a student. Also, surprisingly few people fill in their user profiles.
they really wont let u write php? is it a money issue?
Yes, that's because they don't want an entry level dude to touch the back end. Somehow that's more favorable to me because I don't have to squeeze my head off at work instead save that energy for my hobby projects. Besides, Javascript is quite fun.
