Just as an anecdote regarding your statements of feeling inadequacy as a developer: When I was 16 it took me a year to complete the relatively simple w3schools tutorials, it was only once I started building things that my knowledge really started to grow. 5 years later and I work as a developer for a BAFTA award winning company building applications I really believe in. We learn differently under different conditions, try applying your knowledge on a project instead of just doing the tutorial.

I don't understand why you would include curl in your listing? There are plenty of legitimate uses for it, for example as part of my work I recently used it on a data processing server to trigger post creation of Wordpress posts via the xmlrpc server which is built in to Wordpress.

That overlay is one of the most annoying features I've ever seen on a website before.

The game which I play (Runescape) actively supports and advocates streaming of it's gameplay as a way to increase user numbers through popularity.

Because part of listening to music is that I listen to music which I like, which means Rise Against, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, et al.

I don't think I've ever had the need for 30 tabs; the magic of the internet is that if I ever need to see a specific website, I can just type in a URL.

I agree.
I play an MMORPG called Runescape which has millions of players, I've been playing it since I was 12 and now I'm 21. I stream on Twitch once every few days and frequently have 1,000+ people watching me, subscribing, following and most importably putting eyeballs on Twitch's adverts (which is one of the largest concurrent none-featured community.)
If this happens I lose my anonymity (because Google+) which protects my account details from being stolen. If this happens I lose the ability to stream while playing music in the background, my followers even have the ability to request songs during the stream using an automated service, where does this leave me with regards to copyright then?
Even worse than this though is that if this happens, Google will in some way fundamentally change a service which I and my followers love to use - a service which they don't understand.
I speak for myself as a well known member of this community: If Google buys Twitch, Twitch will die.
This video basically (and very explosively) explains the current thinking of Twitch users: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loeFYdbvrZM (turn down your sound)

Instead of spending your time bashing PHP, why not encourage people to write "PHP the right way"?

I currently work at Studio Skylab and it's a great place to be which is really looking to expand. Bonus points if you know how to work a fancy pants coffee machine!

We are using Node as a backend to multipart uploader interfacing with the Amazon S3 architecture. Our application is built in Symfony2, but we found that Node was much easier for writing parallel upload scripts in. Took less than 3 days and works perfectly every time, no regrets there.
