This article makes yet another compelling case for the value of reading other people's code. So, for those of you who agree with the sentiment (as I do -- at least in theory), found anything good lately that you'd like to share?
I'll go first: I've been spelunking through some of the CSharp portions of .NET Core (formerly on CodePlex, but now on GitHub.)

My predecessors' code. Good example of how not to do multi-threading 
To be fair, it was a C program (I think) that was ported to C++ and optimized for low memory systems.

See below, we are pretty much in a similar mess...

I am reading...
this:
ContentHandlerPtr ContentHandler::GetInstance(const char* pContentRoot)
{
if(!ContentHandler::m_pContentHandler.get())
{
m_pContentHandler = ContentHandlerPtr(new ContentHandler(pContentRoot));
}
return ContentHandler::m_pContentHandler;
}
... such stuff as dreams are made on

I love that comment. "Make REALLY sure we have a TRUE singleton"

He must have come up from the ranks of early c users, and want to only use single characters for variables, etc. (but suffers longer words as prefixes and suffixes).

I'm reading an article... small book... not really sure what's it's classified as by Paul McKenney on CPU/Memory architecture and memory barriers. Asked myself a question while writing an article I realized I couldn't answer to my liking - so I'm rectifying that today

Lucky Dog - a narrative about the Lucky Dog vendors In New Orleans by the General manager of the company for the last 40 years.
Great read if you've ever been to New Orleans and had one... and even if you have not.

The code I wrote last week. What was I thinking! Better refactor and switch the framework out with that new one that came out this week.
1/2 day set back now will be better then 2 days next month.

Over Xmas vacation I'm reading a manual from NXP on a new multi-core embedded controller, Cortex A7 and M4 in one package. Something for the C++ Linux guys on the A7 end, and something for the C "bare iron" guys on the M4 end. Lot of programming challenges to manage power and how to best partition the design to split the requirements between a real-time front end and lots of store and forward data routing on the back end to multiple radios. Then there's the problem of a C# production tester at the assembly line. And on top of all that the security hypervisor to secure against IoT attacks.

Last week, someone asked about what they could do at home for a project.. that got me thinking - I haven't done any programming at home for a while.
So... downloaded VS 2015 Community Edition today on the home environment and sparking it up to start a project.
When I've written it, I will probably publish it.

While I do code (occasionally) at work, it is more administration than coding... and I miss it. So... start somewhere.

Wow, I see "VAX\VMS Fortran" in your list,
so I am hurrying to say that I did it too

Commodore PET, Commodore 64, Commodore Assembler, VAX/VMS, Fortran, VMS Assembler, FMS, C
Then VB, SQL Server and finally .NET
It's hard to break old programming habits, that is part of the reason for the home project.
Try to avoid public/global variables.
