1. Find some known-good code you trust and measure coverage. 2. Find a few missing coverage lines. 3. Write tests. 4. Find bugs!

It's really easy to set up a Twitter account that reports on commits on a project! I've set up @TrifleCommits to keep on top of changes.

I've walked past my first store that accepts bitcoin! Old Street, London. Seems appropriate.

"[languages] are either the agglutination of features or they’re a crystallization of style" http://t.co/w3ygo51oTv

Smalltalk in Pharo is wonderful, but I'm not used to heavy GUI usage. I had *three* screenshots in my SO question!: http://t.co/YafT5kIqWD

TIL about Emacs' `run-at-time', which lets you run functions at arbitrary points in the future.

BSD man pages are superb: here's mg ('Micro GNU Emacs'): http://t.co/2c1KFlG6L4

Smalltalk seems to be sufficiently niche that even StackOverflow doesn't have syntax highlighting! E.g. http://t.co/DVIkiIBvgn

I've reached a point where StackOverflow is showing me the 'vote to close' queue. There's a lot of lousy questions out there!

That was quick! RT @melpa_emacs: swift-mode --- Major-mode for Apple's Swift programming language. http://t.co/ZDsuM6W4OR

Ooh, Google implementing OpenPGP in the browser? JS crypto has a lot of problems, but it would be better than the current standard practice.

Slowly coming to the conclusion that I will be holding myself back as a developer if I don't learn some AMD64 assembly.

Great to see that @github wikis now support github-flavoured markdown!

I've seen 'virtualenv' refer to both an environment with isolated packages, and the tool that creates that environment. Can be confusing.

PEP 3109 shows some remarkable raise abuse in Python 2: raise ((Exception, ("a", "b")), "c"), "d"

Languages that use a different syntax for strings and regexps are great. Your editor can then highlight regexps intelligently.
