    穴: What’s the most common hidden gem? As in, what game is the most basic example of the games people bring up when discusing “hidden gems”?

    Despite depending heavily on tools, the kernel project often seems to under-invest in the development of those tools. There has been progress in that area, though.

As 2025 comes to a close, I want to put together a summary of the things that went on. I'm a strong believer of building in public, and that includes talking about the goals, succes [...]
