Transcript excerpt

0:00 try to act like really unnatural like how you not how you normally act at all but like feel the pressure of being recorded. [laughter] I'm the most software person in the universe then like being recorded I'm basically already always being recorded. That's an interesting take actually. All right. So So what did you do last since last time? Oh, there's circles in there. There's circles. There's two colors of circles. I thought that adding more diversity in that way would make it more

0:31 fun. Um, it is it's a thrill ride. This part hasn't changed. [laughter] No. So, I'm doing I had to do a ton of optimization stuff cuz I plug it into a database and it had 6,000 tables and it just went k. It wouldn't even load. It was like crashing out cuz I have a bunch of recursive stuff and the stack was getting exhausted and then I was getting one FPS and it was so I just had to do like I've had to be so ridiculously clever to get all the stupid rectangles out of the screen. Is this like a big database? Uh
