Same! I set off after the origins of mipmap and the first paper that mentions it, mainly because of a YT video I'm making where I talk about mipmaps briefly.
It's fascinating, love reading them.

Or a few commits in a quick succession, each a permutation of "fixed the bug but for real this time".

While I get what you mean, I do enjoy watching them, and I enjoy Alex's and the rest of Digital Foundry's work tons.
I think Alex comments in his initial post are really good too.

It reminds me of the moments of making Environments / Props and going "this is super realistic, and I made it well, but it's so real that when put in the context of a game world, it looks fake. So now I need to take an artistic licence and change things up a tiny bit."
And that happens A LOT.

It's a good one for indie or solo devs, but I can't stop but remember of my previous job CEO where sometimes, when he didn't like something, he wouldn't feel like telling us, instead would "outsource" it as a question on socials, hoping people agree with him instead of us the devs. It was difficult.
