Scaling to 100k Users | Alex Pareto
Scaling is an important topic that I care about. Here’s one person’s guide to making it to 100k. It’s a very complicated topic.
jq - CLI for JSON files
This is an amazing tool when you need it. Do queries, merges, filters on json files. You only need it once or twice a year but when you need it, it's a life saver!
Best programming books EVAR!
A good list. I know every single one and would generally agree with it. Some books are too high in the list and some too low. But an excellent starting point.
Hanami | Introducing Hanami::API
Faster than Sinatra? By that much? Hard to believe.
Library for stubbing and setting expectations on HTTP requests in Ruby.

Huge collection of images for your hacking pleasure!
Build your own ... whatever!

I hope these are all public domain. Can't check them all. But I assume so because it's on Github

We all live in the shell. (Yes, if you're not geekish that sentence makes no sense). And you can always learn a little more and some special trick to make your day. Here's another reference.
The Definitive Guide to Python import Statements | Chris Yeh
Another good article about Python modularity
Linked is a good addendum to explaining the mysteries of python packages and imports. I’ve read so much about this so many times and still I continue to stub my toe on it!
Amazon Web Services Handy Oneliners
Great one line explanations of all the millions of AWS services.
