Wow, the only one I agree with here is MongoDB (and probably Lombok, I don't write Java), and that has more to do with their licensing issues than anything technical.

That's pretty impressive.

Here's my list:

• no-go list of languages - Java, PHP, Ruby, C++ (unless you absolutely need C++ for some domain)
• OOP - OOP should be isolated, not forced on every problem; many OOP advocates are dogmatic about injecting it everywhere
• waterfall - screw that noise, faster to market + faster feedback is generally better

That's really it, and I'm totally willing to mentor someone who likes the above if they're otherwise a good developer.

Extroverts cannot comprehend introverts.

I’m pretty in-line with all these.

“guru”-driven, fad, and ineffective management processes, misunderstanding and corporatization of low-overhead planning tools, rather crappy (and faddish) languages, and not putting team first - all bad things.
