If you find yourself regularly working within mediums that require modicums of creative output, do you find yourself repeating certain tricks, methods, processes, bits, etc. that seem personalized or unorthodox to you for not much reason besides 'I just think they're neat' or 'I'm just comfortable doing this' or simply for the bit? At any scale/scope.
If so, what are they?
Most people don't consider it a creative output. But when I am really feeling myself and am feeling really creative with my software architecture on a C/++ codebase, I will make sure that every call to free() is preceded by the comment

As a weird, idiosyncratic Braveheart reference that pisses off all my colleagues.
When it comes to programming, especially in C/C++ use bitmasks as often as possible. Use ternary operators as often as possible. Generally make my code as hard to parse as possible without seeming purposefully obtuse
