I would like to see this broken down in small building blocks, reduced to first principles. Personally, I'm an old fart, close to retirement. And I'm in a strange dichotomy. On the one side, I understand the value of CI/CD, TDD, and everything that goes with that. (And it's a lot). On the other side, I haven't really kept up with IDEs, and when I write code, it's in some sort of vim (or even vi as that's what I started with). I tried IDEs, and I might decide to like one, but really, I'd like a break down so I can understand every part of the toolchain. Give me the tools and the docs, and some examples, and I'll figure it out. What I'm afraid of, and that really happened with my attempts at understanding the toolkits for VS modding, is that deep rabbit hole, where I want to do X, and end up needing to fix W first, then U, then T, etc... There's a hole in my bucket, dear Lisa, ...

This was a good month for indie gaming. Just yesterday I watched ConcernedApe's retrospective on Stardew Valley that was first released ten years ago this month. Totally different games? Maybe not so. Both can be time sinks for creating the perfect garden. Here's to another ten years of gaming!

You know that big lake in the center of the Netherlands? Portions of that were dammed in the 2nd half of the 20th century. And rabbits swam there. Of course, in some areas, the distance to the mainland is less than 200m across water.

You welcome the breeze as you emerge into this clearing, although you prefer to stay on the edge of the swaying foliage, where the shade protects you from the heat of the sun.
