I always love reading the dolphin progress reports. They do a good job of explaining how things work and parsing it out into something easy to understand

Right? I started reading them before I became a programmer. I think they helped me learn how to think about the inner workings of programs
I think they're the best status reports I've seen anywhere.
Agreed. They've been consistently high quality for the 12 years they've been put out at this point. I'm glad they stopped trying to force them into the "monthly update" mold because so many ended up being like "April/May/June/July Update!"
What stands out to me is that they explain not just what changed, but why it was hard in the first place
