• Why Your Previous Developer was Terrible - I tend to lash out emotionally when I see bad code, but I always feel uncomfortable blaming the previous developer, since I have no idea what kind of constraints (personally and professionally) they were working under. It's not always possible, but I try my best to seperate the art from the artist (and the code from the coder).
• Learn CSS Layout is an interesting CSS tutorial, that kinda reminds me of the various koans and git immersion types of tutorial sites.
• Did you see that "Everything from a 1991 Radio Shack ad is now done on your phone" thing making the rounds recently? Here's another analysis of technology costs then and now. Very roughly, the equivalent technology is not the $3000 nominal price in the Radio Shack ad, but at least $3.56 million.
• In MySQL, there's a sometimes handy GROUP_CONCAT function built in. Pete Shearer shows a way to accomplish something similar using FOR XML PATH and Microsoft SQL.

• I submitted something from "Look Around You" to the Moviecode tumblr, and it's in BASIC.

• 2013 Stack Overflow User Survey. 10% of users are working remotely full-time. I don't think they asked the question last year, but if they did, my bet is that percentage has gone up.
• Samuel L. Jackson does not like it, but Dennis Nedry loves Jurassic Systems.
• Add Undo/Redo to your application with PostSharp, using the Recordable Pattern.
• A way to deal with the Android slide-out menu and screen rotation.

• REPL means "Read-eval-print loop", by the way.
• Check out what's new with JustMock, JustCode, and JustTrace from Telerik
