Moving from React to React+Redux rather feels like moving from imperative to functional. There's major learning curve, but it's rewarding.
Emacs command of the day: lispy-flow, part of lispy. It Does The Right Thing when moving forward through nested sexps.
RSS readers would massively benefit from a Netflix-style suggestion engine. I can find academic papers, but no products available!

TIL that ert-runner can generate a test directory with skeleton files for you! #emacs
JSON editing would work *really* well with a structured editor like lispy. I'm surprised no such thing exists yet (or my google-fu is poor).
Working on displaying rustdoc in Emacs! Is this too much highlighting, Rust users? Feedback welcomed :) cc @rustlang
I still find myself comparing my output buffers to those produced by magit. It takes full advantage of the Emacs design.
We have mobile-first website design, but what about PL design? What would a PL coded entirely on mobiles look like?
Reflections: The ecosystem is moving https://whispersystems.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/ (on the merits of open source, but centralised systems)
