This seems to assume that a developer necessarily hits an MVP in PHP faster than in other languages. This might be true when comparing with the tooling/dependency nightmares of JS/NPM, but a half decent Python dev can get a Flask app up and running in about 15 minutes.

I read the post as saying that PHP self-selects the kind of developer that is great at making an MVP, thus why so many companies and projects are written in this garbage language. I don't think the post intends to implies that other languages are slow to develop, just that their developers are.
