Things I'm working on now (spare time):

• phpkafka: Native kafka support for PHP. In development, so all help is welcome!

I work -or have worked- with:

• Go/Golang (weapon of choice ATM)
• NoSQL: Couchbase, Cassandra
• PostgreSQL
• PHP (OOP, with or without Zend Framework, Symfony)
• Javascript (+ jQuery, sadly)
• MySQL (including triggers, Foreign Keys and stored procedures)
• C (ANSI C99, but C11 is looking promising)
• Perl & Bash for quick scripts
• COBOL (Micro-Focus) NOT VOLUNTARILY
• HTML & CSS
• current OS's: Linux (Slackware, Salix)

I don't like:

• Questions on JavaScript, answerd with 'use jQuery'
• Java
• Solutions that are needlessly complex
• COBOL
• Answers with Regular expressions to solve a problem that didn't require Regex's
• Java
• People treating StackOverflow as a code generator
• COBOL
• No acceptance or UP-votes for people who deserved it.
• Did I mention I don't like Java/COBOL?

Stuff I find to be true:

• Java is the new COBOL
• If your solution relies on more than 3 regular expressions at any given time, you're part of the problem.
