Jinja2 has a concept of 'recursive loops', a neat concept that I haven't seen before. Handy for threaded comments.

https://crate.io/ has moved! It was a great way to search for packages on PyPI. https://preview-pypi.python.org/ is new, but currently 500ing.
"-snoc: This is like cons, but operates on the end of list."-- Amazing name. Obvious when you know, but not readable at first glance! #emacs
Deployments at Yammer: http://t.co/T3nVKZdorr -- clear, no fear of breaking prod, logs of who did what when. Very cool.
Good tooling is a huge force multiplier: http://t.co/jrV1dQX9X3
No Internet connection at home during the weekend. As a result, my pet lisp interpreter gained anonymous functions, closures and macros!
An oldie, but a goodie: an Asteroids clone that figures out which domains you've visited: http://t.co/5ceqUllNEg
I really enjoy using Linux, but it's not impressive to others around you when you pop a DVD in your PC and VLC segfaults.
I highly recommend writing an interpreter if you get the opportunity. It's a lot of fun and deeply educational.
It's always dangerous to say "I've used this X years / written Y lines of code and never needed Z". No-one has experienced every use case.
"One of your test API keys has been filled into the examples, so you can test out any example right away." Stripe, I'm impressed.
Was nerd sniped today. Write a function in Python that flattens a list of arbitrary depth. My solution: http://t.co/TBwNrkqZjE
Today I learnt about iptables-apply. It undoes firewall rule changes if you've accidentally locked yourself out. Replaces my custom scripts!
Non-ASCII characters in domain names -- very hard to display them correctly in all browsers: http://t.co/TqbNHJSWtd
"Some developers learn APIs through “apprenticeships” with expert Stack Overflow users." -- http://t.co/Hw562Tqjlo
That moment of suspicion when code works first time.
Saw a legitimate 3D printer for £120 today. The future has arrived!
Augeas: http://t.co/89ealBpXHF is very cool. It parses config files, so you can modify them without ad-hoc scripts that might break syntax.
Monitoring emails tend to be uninspiringly worded. I'd much prefer a Scotty (of Star Trek) impression. "She's down to 50MiB cap'n!"
Uniquify will be enabled by default in Emacs 24.4! Great news -- it's a brilliant Emacs feature that not enough people know about.
