I've started keeping a list of particularly interesting bugs and patches that I've worked on: https://github.com/Wilfred/interesting-code The time that I once removed *a single closing paren* in Emacs is still my favourite.

I'm still experimenting with patch display in difftastic. The change to the imports are clearer in the patch mode, but the side-by-side mode does make the if/else changes more readable. Patches are probably worthwhile anyway due to their machine readability.

Benchmarking the cost of array bounds checks in Rust code: https://blog.readyset.io/bounds-checks/ The author even patches rustc to make sure *all* bounds checks are gone, in order to compare the performance!
