Macros are wonderful. I'm generating unit test cases with docstrings and sensible names directly from the mustache spec. #elisp
miniblog.
My ISP provides a cheap wireless network router. Fine, it's autoconfigured PPP. Horrified you can only configure some settings with Telnet!
I've made docs changes in the past, but delighted to have contributed to Django's code too! https://github.com/django/django/pull/1266 #django

It will be interesting to see the effect of the PRISM allegations/revelations on I2P usage.
It's alive! Nothing makes a simple project more fun than learning something new (Haskell!).
Between dependency conflicts, compilation failures, and lack of HTTPS support, finding a library to do a HTTPS GET has also been hard.
I'm several days into a simple Haskell side project, and it's been very tricky. Haskell has five common string datatypes, plus others!
I've often felt that TDD is no panacea, but I've written quite a few commit messages recently of the form "added a failing unit test for X".
The value of documentation is proportional to how much effort went into creating it. Autogenerated docs aren't as structured or helpful.
elif isinstance(obj, Sequence):
return [fmap(value, func) for value in obj] # breaks, because python has no char type :(
ipython actually supports CoffeeScript-style function calls without brackets, e.g. `/range 0 10 2`. Not entirely sure why.
Evil but entertaining mixing other languages into #emacs lisp: http://t.co/gQiRvRav2D
So, which elisp package will have the honour of being the 1,000th package on @melpa_emacs? (I'm tempted to finish an elisp project for it!)
That being said, I've seen too many literate programming documents start with 'import some stuff'.
I like literate programming. It's good to encourage clear, punctuated writing. Source code rarely features full stops.

As of Python 3.3 there's a new way to introspect function arguments. Usage could give elegant code or evil code. $OBLIGATORY_SPIDERMAN_QUOTE
Django admin style tables in any part of a site: https://github.com/bradleyayers/django-tables2 -- one of those 'if only I knew about it earlier' moments.
