Don't sell it. Just go ahead and do it. If your get an assignment you
can complete more or less on your own, and you're not stuck into a pile
of legacy code, just do it. Only tell the boss if he asks. No matter if
you latter stay with that shop or leave for greener pastures, they will
have to mantain your code base. That's what I did and now two of my
colleagues (including my team leader :-) are forced to learn Python.
