Reprogramming Super Mario World (redux)
Remember that guy that could beat Super Mario World within a few minutes? Well, he one-upped that by in game injecting the flappy bird source code and run it. Amazing!

Comparing the PHP 7 and Hack Type Systems
After writing a couple small programs in Hack I've realized that it's not types themselves that make writing Hack enjoyable: it's the tight feedback loop Hack creates between the machine and myself. Integrating the Hack type checker into my editor means that my entire codebase is analyzed in a split second as soon as I save a file. This immediately surfaces any dumb, or subtle mistakes I made. I find myself writing code fearlessly: when I forget what a function returns, I just write code that calls it with what I think it returns. If I'm wrong, the type checker will tell me immediately. I can fix it quickly, and move on.http://www.dmiller.io/blog/2015/4/26/comparing-the-php7-and-hack-type-systems

Reprogramming Super Mario World
This guy beats Super Mario World in 6 minutes. He uses the credits warp glitch to reprogram the game while playing it.
The exploit works by transferring control to sprite X-position table via the chuck eating glitch so that the game executes the X-position of sprites as if it were code. Using koopa shells, the X-position table can be filled with values which switches the game from mode 0x14 (normal level execution) to 0x1C (midway through the credits).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14wqBA5Q1yc#t=24
EDIT: Today Carlsagan42 finished the game under 2 minutes.
