I just (in the last month or so) learned how to expose the Docker daemon to code running inside a container, so you can create a "container controlling container." This works out really nicely for something I've been working on, which involves running smoke-tests inside a container. This way, the tests can programmatically request a container instance of the system under test, and then destroy it, without the need for any sort of coordinator code running one level higher. I've also recently (last couple of months) learned just enough Common Lisp to feel like I am close to "turning the corner" and starting to grok Lisp. If I keep at it, I think I'll be at a place where I could write something meaningful in Lisp before much longer. This feels significant to me, as "learn Lisp" has been on my "to get around to one day" list for about 20 years now.
