People can't agree if that means that you can't go into the pool if you've stood next to someone who peed. Or if you have to burn your swimming trunks if you EVER peed in the pool. Others think that if you're peeing clear it's not really peeing in the pool. We are being specific, not wishy washy.

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

Godot is growing fast, so here is how we are dealing with the huge increase in contributions.

There's being a nerd, and there's reverse engineering Microsoft Bob so you can become the platform's first/only third party app developer. (Yes, this nerd is my partner. Yes, this talk will be amazing)

Protip! If you have a DVD rom drive that will read pressed DVDs but not burnt ones, you can adjust some pot meters and then it won't read pressed DVDs anymore either! Follow me for more pro tips.

It's been a pleasure watching @tmm.cx, Eric Drexler & Jonathan Ackley use the Godot Engine to build this platform. Designing nanomachines? With a tool built using open source video game technologies? So we can explore new frontiers of tiny science? Brilliant. news.msep.one/campaign/08c...

Buggy implicit layers are a constant source of pain and anger. Can't remember how many times I helped people with their Vulkan issues and it turned out they were caused by some buggy implicit layer. Luckily the loader now has ways of simply disabling all implicit layers: github.com/KhronosGroup...
