Good programmers think they are mediocre, bad programmers think they rule.

Watch ancient code of you in PHP and after all you learned, read it again. Was it really that bad code? I always thought the same like you did, but when i read old code... I sometimes think it's beautifull ( can't explain it otherwhise)

Learning other programming languages helps you understand architecture and programming concepts, that you can probably implement in your "old" programming language. Not learning them, doesn't mean you're a bad programmer, perhaps just a lazy one :P
