Re: getting a LAMP job in this economy

In the face of tough economics, it's difficult to hold onto one's ethics... Not to start a flame war, but I really hope that the day doesn't come that I'm forced to use a non-Unix platform for my development. For now I have this luxury.

On another list that I am on someone made this very bold statement: "I've seen a lot of jobs for ColdFusion & Oracle or MS SQL server experience combinations. Don't let anyone fool you, PHP/MySQL is not going to land you a job [;)] " now, as someone that was making avery good living doing Linux based web application development last year and now among the jobless I am beginning to question the validity of having all of my eggs in the LAMP (linux apache mysql php) basket. I just recently built a NT4 to do some win based development on. I still have not installed any development enviroment cause it just feels so alien. Has anyone else out there feeling the pressure of going to the win32 side to pay the bills.
