Post holding some information and a little retrospective on how the feature freeze went and what we as the Clippy team learned along the way. We also included some questions that I asked to Ada4a, our highlighted contributor in this feature freeze.

Really well written! Thanks for writing this up ❤️

If you, like me, wanted to learn the inner workings of the compiler and contribute
to it some day, but were intimidated by the development setup required for that, Clippy could be a nice stepping stone, as hacking on it doesn't require compiling rustc, but it interacts with a lot of compiler's data structures and APIs.

Hell yeah, that's what we're going for 🎉

Note for reviewers ⚠️ ⚠️

The date in the file is for tomorrow (22th of October) because I don't think we'll merge this in the 6 hours remaining. If the date in the file isn't that important and the CI workflows will take care of it, feel free to merge.

CI won't change the date, but also it's not super important, in the sense that we could just publish it with tomorrow's date (it is tomorrow somewhere on Earth already anyway 😆). I'll merge it tomorrow morning (EU time) if it doesn't get merged by then.
