Yeah, this is a great feeling.

Not anywhere near the same scale as proliferating throughout the linux package managers, but in my early teens I played an online text RPG and ended up writing a fairly large amount of code on top for playing / navigating / fighting etc. When my hobbies shifted away I shared it around and promptly forgot it.

I checked in briefly about 10 years later and was happy to find a lot of my stuff still floating around and being maintained/extended in various forms.
