Interesting to see @patio11 advocates creating a branded web page for personal project, not just slapping on GitHub: https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/do-not-end-the-week-with-nothing
I've found a use for Emacs registers in my workflow! Rather than repeatedly hitting C-y, save important text to a register for easy pasting.
Magit tip: `l f` shows you commits, but only those that touched a specific file. Marvellous. #emacs
Googling an issue and finding an old Stack Overflow question you've answered. Thanks, past me, but please be more thorough next time!
Argh. Python 2's string/unicode dichotomy makes it so easy to build an inconsistent codebase.
When you find a bug, if you can find a way to check for similar bugs (I often find ag and a regexp sufficient) it's well worthwhile.

Not enough GitHub repos have pictures. Especially when the README starts with "$PROJECT is a UI for $THING".
Doom as a tool for system administration: http://t.co/mFM68nn6pj
JSON is a good format. It's a shame it doesn't support comments or dates (without hacks), it could have been a great format.
It's really exciting to see @droneio open sourced. Jenkins is good, but it would really benefit from competition.
OH: "Nice, but the API seems pretty non-RESTifarian."
I'm surprised Python lets your repeatedly close a file without complaint. "I'll make doubly sure!"
I'm implementing basic I/O in Trifle lisp today! It's remarkably hard to have code test coverage for simple things like opening a file.

Playing with django_reversion. It's one of those packages you realise it's easy to reinvent badly.
Hubot is excellent. It gives you tons of functionality out-of-the-box, and a framework for you to build on easily.
The more I look at Dylan, the more I like it. It has many of the Common Lisp features I like, and avoids some I don't like. No eval though.
I don't dispute there's much great content on public domain sites like Project Gutenberg, but I do find it hard to find things of interest.
