On Reddit.com there's a good discussion going on to answer the question "What non-PHP stuff should a PHP developer know?"
I was looking at job description for a web developer, and one of the big responsibilities was database maintenance. [...] And along those lines, what other skills would be useful for a PHP developer to have that aren't directly PHP-based?
Suggestions so far include things like:
- Linux command-line skills
- some Python
- Virtualization (making and administering VMs)
- Version control systems (svn or git)
- Database architecture
- HTML/CSS/Javascript
