As video games develop more and more over the years, companies have been making them more and more realistic-looking. I can guess this is related to expectations, but am I the only one who doesn't care about graphics? We could be using the same processing power to store worlds that have as much exploration potential as the Earth itself if we weren't afraid to save on processing power by going back to 8-bit.

"Function over form" is a mantra I live by. This is reflected in the software I use/make, as well as the games I play.

Nothing noteworthy. Mostly just utility stuff that I use myself, or work related stuff. A typical example is a self-test script that I wrote in perl because I'm lazy, and somehow it became a company standard and made it's way into written procedures - It just checks various services and misc network stuff, and let's you know if there's something obviously wrong happening.
