Ed Thomson's Git Tips and Tricks Advent Calendar
In hindsight, an Advent Calendar of Advent Calendars would have been fun. Ah, what could have been.

I was the driver he cut off.

Boiling (potentially responsive) grids down to their essence. Planning on stealing much of this, soon, for a music site near you.
Matt Gemmell: Managing Email Realistically
I could quote-mine this for days. I kept bouncing back and forth between “that’s hilarious”, “I should do that” and “I shouldn’t do that… should I?”
