Ask HN: Are you ashamed to have experience with a certain stack?
Perhaps the least-sexy would be some PHP 4/5 and MySQL stuff, but I also got some good war stories out of them.
I think I'd worry more about shame from being in (or thriving in) toxic workplace/corporate cultures.
The thought of using a scripting language with no type safely and significant whitespace made me nauseous.
That said, having suffered through it, python is easy to learn and even our pm could manage a config oriented commit now and then.
