Man. I like two things. Boring languages/frameworks, and minimalism.

Boring languages/frameworks Just Work, and are usually pretty secure.

Minimalist --which is to say, making something as simple as possible, but no simpler-- means fewer moving parts which can break in production.

90% of what my places of employment and clients need is the same old shit, and I like to build it so that when something breaks, I can jump in and hammer out the broken thing and get the process moving again without needing a ton of research.
