Does `sl` ever show the correct directory? http://t.co/xQdpKF8Ufa

If your unit tests are pure (and generally they should be), parallelising them is wonderful. It's a free speedup!

#emacs tip of the day: `C-x ESC ESC` is repeat-last-command and is highly underrated.

Turns out that implementing tracebacks is a great way to see if you understand stack reification.

Released v0.7 of Trifle Lisp! https://github.com/Wilfred/trifle Including exact fractions, stronger typing, more list utilities and friendlier errors!

Self-documenting extensible editor! http://t.co/RriVCVi19U

Puppet labs using Clojure: http://t.co/rUtTzPt5Ra They've rolled their own solutions, but did their homework first. Admirable!

"The [TRS-80] Model I radiated so much interference that[..]an AM radio placed next to the computer could be used to provide sounds." Yikes!

Argh. If your code snippet doesn't include all the necessary imports, it's unfinished.

Write code to be read first, and tested second. Tests may promote better structure, but prioritise readable code with more {mock,patch}ing.

Package managers should cache by default. This generally works, but I was forced today to delete the 24GB of pacman packages (2 years worth)

There's actually a z-machine interpreter written in elisp! Using it, you can play zork from the comfort of #emacs. http://t.co/U8bdVkF0te

Learnt you shouldn't add ~/.emacs.d to load-path because it's used for autogenerated files. Instead, use a subdirectory for elisp files.
