Mermaid - Diagramming and Charting Tool
Mermaid
is a JavaScript library that converts text, strict markdown-like syntax, to diagrams. It is similar to PlantUML but has broader use, popularity, and support.

Report Build Times
Uneven increases in build times are one of the 'silent' indicators that could point the project may be heading in the wrong direction. As someone who likes to put data in code
and generate code with T4 Text Templates
, I have to be careful not to overextend. I treat these build times as Canary in the Coal Mine, an early warning system.

Library: Spectre.Console
I've always been fascinated with the Amiga demo community and the Warez scene. I've especially loved cracktros
, small graphical demos that were played before a cracked game. Names like Razor 1911, Skid Row, Paradox, Crystal, and Red Sector would pop up on the screen, often with better graphics and music than in-game.
