I find it very annoying that in order to do good Web-facing systems I have to know all the following: HTML (and CSS if you consider that separate) JavaScript HTML5 APIs for sound/movies/drag&drop/forms/whatever PHP SQLite3 API SQL That's six sets of knowledge to do one thing. Granted, they do different things in different ways but it's still rather a lot to fit into m noggin. And it's annoying when you think you're debugging a JavaScript problem but it turns out that a SQL command doesn't mean what you thought it did: switching my brain between JavaScripting and SQLing seems to require a lot of effort.
