IRC bots. Being a system administrator I don't generally have a need for UI coding. IRC bots cover networking, just about any sort of text processing you could need. Add in a standard complement of "tools/utils" and you can also add in "plugins/modules" to also toss in database handling, fetching and storing of data, etc.
