Today I learnt that Django has had shortcuts.render since 1.3. It saves you passing a RequestContext to render_to_response. Hurrah!
Using ELPA is conspicuously faster than just dumping packages in ~/.emacs.d/vendor-lisp, since it byte-compiles everything. #emacs
"go fix will rewrite your source to accommodate API changes in the standard library or builtins if you upgrade your language version" Wow!

Ouch. Chasing down an issue with our gunicorn setup turned out to be a Python stdlib race condition: http://t.co/0ForazyiAT
#Emacs 23 has 500 KLOC of elisp more than Emacs 22. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AszFIYMceP5EdEtQT3l4MlY2Q1Etb0JqWURHU0E3aUE&hl=en_US#gid=0 That's staggering.
It's really good to see development happening on Jekyll -- I was this close to rolling my own.
Writing fast, responsive software seems harder than hardware. At least our track record with hardware is more impressive.
Linux 3.8 no longer supports 386 processors. The end of an era.
Finding C compiler bugs with fuzz testing: http://t.co/v45aOxTP -- extraordinary stuff.

#Emacs confession: I sometimes use viper-mode. I like hitting 'n' to repeat searches more than C-s.
The federated wiki at http://t.co/rosUDccr is somewhat slow and non-obvious to use (no horizontal scroll). Massive possibilities though.

Generally very impressed with Django's auth functionality -- it's very easy to combine auth systems to do exactly what you want.
Inspired by the excellent s.el by @magnars, I've created ht.el, a friendly hashmap library: https://github.com/Wilfred/ht.el #emacs
Just learnt about Carton (https://github.com/cask/cask), the Elisp answer to Bundler. Explicit dependencies for your packages! #emacs
