why do folks who know less get to make informed descisions about tech platforms at companies.
I like php and I always see a lot of web prog jobs for asp.

No, they aren't insinuating anything really. PHP and ASP are two different programming languages.
Usually the back-end database drives what language to present to the customer.
MySql Databases lend themselves to PHP; MSSQL Databases lend themselves to ASP.
MySql = Free.
MSSQL = Licensing Fees (not cheap).I do believe you are insinuating that "folks who know less get to make informed decisions about tech platforms at companies", however.
Exactly what hat did you pull that out of? ... Because there are no PHP jobs where you are located at this exact moment, haha?

consider that ASP got a head start on PHP. During the first dotcom boom, ASP ruled the Earth.
Probably a lot of legacy code that needs to be updated out there.Also, it is possibly that IT depts feel more comfortable with a Windows server, vs. linux. (not to say that PHP cant run on Windows or vice versa).
And finally, ASP isnt that hard to learn. You might want to know both so that you can take which ever job you want.
