On the effectiveness of UML, executable models, and choosing which details to include in a model:
Blogged: Suggest.el: Synthesising Constants
I find breathless coverage in the press for new tech to be off-putting, but sometimes they're genuinely innovative. Tricky.
Functions as a Service: a serverless framework for Docker https://docs.get-faas.com/ (interesting concept!)
Suggesting fixes to students' code by using a solver to explore modifications to the program! https://youtu.be/NAoSTmCUlW0 (uses sketch)
I finally feel I've got a handle on org-mode and it's being useful for me. When I started, I thought it was just an agenda tool.
Handy elisp for profiling code and summing function time by function (unlike the hierarchical profiler-report):
A lisper shares his experiences with writing a project in Smalltalk: https://emacsninja.com/posts/one-of-those-who-can-type.html (though using GNU Smalltalk, so no live IDE)
Fascinating post on being a programmer when English (or the Latin alphabet) isn't your native language:

A fork friendly, MELPA compatible Emacs package manager.
Indexing into arrays in J using complex numbers! Seems totally bananas, but provides some interesting composability.
Dynamically generating shellcode using an SMT solver: almost magical!
Amazing paper using genetic programming guided by passing/failing tests to automatically write bug fixing patches!
With suggest.el, I've learnt generative programming suits interpreted PLs. The problem is exponential, so extra perf doesn't really help.
