Interesting post talking about how we can improve language in documentation so that it's more inclusive. The tool that it links to is new to me. I've tried it and there's a lot of false positives, but as long as you don't take a "this should be totally lint-free" approach to using it it could help with tweaking things.

Very handy solution to the problem of making a project you're working on available to its own tests. While this tends not to be an issue for linting from the command line (I use a Makefile and sort the PYTHONPATH when doing the linting), but from within Emacs with flycheck it can be more awkward.

A great repo that contains a list of projects that encourage beginners (in programming, in some language, or perhaps even in a problem domain) to work on issues. All have some sort of "low-hanging fruit" tag for issues that would be a good place to build confidence in contributing.

Hilarious machine-learning-based tool that takes some text that you give it, and completes it.

A fun little coding challenge; ideal for getting to know a new language, or testing someone's knowledge of a language.

Paper about a language, that is pretty much a twist on Python that's aimed at getting higher performance for bioinformatics applications.

Package for using Emacs in a more shell-like way, but while doing it in a very Emacs-like way. Contains interactive tools for pipeline manipulation, as well as a scripting language, of sorts

Handy little tool that can be used to get a flavour of how long you've spent working on a particular project. While it's not going to be 100% accurate, it will give a vague sense of duration.

Tool to save data exported from Twitter into a SQLLite database. Could be very handy.
