I've become a daily Claude Extended user. I write quick+messy code until I've proven my idea, then I have Claude turn it into neat classes and unit tests.
This allows me to focus on the real logic and ideas, instead of focusing on writing clean+performant code. Huge velocity boost.

I'm building a synthetic reasoning dataset using the open Luau corpus from Roblox! I want to fine tune reasoning models to generate Luau code. I will open source this dataset, the code used to build it, and the model weights if I get a good fine tune model.

It's so fun to watch old scifi and realize we literally have so much scifi tech irl now
A fun example is this great joke from Star Trek will land totally differently for the next generation of kids who grow up with AI assistants

CullThrottle now has dynamic render distance! #RobloxDev
(Can be disabled if you want specific control)
It will adjust the distance to ensure you're staying within the allocated time budget and desired refresh rates!

CullThrottle will find the optimal balance of visuals/perf in the current scene for your hardware.
Give it a budget (ms) + a minimum & target refresh rate, and it determines what to update each frame for the best visuals in the budget. It'll even go above your target if it's in budget.

I hit my video upload limit on bsky for today 💀So I guess that's all the tweets I'll be reposting here. That should be plenty, anyway. My profile doesn't look so dead anymore!

Decided to attempt a dynamic fluid simulation! It's far from perfect (or even correct, tbh) but I still enjoyed making and playing with it.
Fun weekend project! #RobloxDev #Roblox

I love open source. I needed AWS header signing in Lua so I looked around to see if someone else made it- they did, and credited me.
Something I open sourced years ago enabled others to build things that came full circle to help me now. What a beautiful ecosystem. #RobloxDev

I'm working on CullThrottle, a system for efficiently handling updates to thousands of objects. #RobloxDev
Built on the tech that makes WindShake possible, it makes it easy to run your effects at high FPS by managing which objects you should update each frame.

Jokes aside, this was so painful to do. Took me nearly 2 hours to make this useless thing. 😅
