No other ecosystem has so consistently fucked me over. Not even PHP. I actually prefer Java to PHP for just writing code, but PHP to absolutely anything running on the JVM for operations.

Know when I stopped regularly getting woken up in the middle of the night? 2011, when I stopped supporting anything on a JVM. Ironically, it would have been two years earlier, but I foolishly self-inflicted Cassandra on myself. Never again.
