There's an awesome book Ian put out with laces on the cover and illustrations of all his lacing and knot suggestions. Potential future gift!

Really interesting. Feels like a fun platform to tinker with like "circuit bending" to make surprising behaviors happen across the entire OS

I wonder what the ideal demo of this that makes its approach visually legible would be

Taking this to extreme degree — could wire up a GitHub/`claude` workflow that automatically generates pull request implementations of top-rated features (e.g. with branch previews hooked up so you can just try it and approve)

Note there is a CLAUDE.md file in the repo, so this was likely built at least in part with Claude Code.

In the most recent game I automated builds for the initial build took 1-3 hours, but subsequent builds with the Library/ folder cached took 5-10 minutes.

Are you switching platforms between builds locally? (like building one for web / server / pc / mac etc). Platform switching essentially blows away the cache, making it take the full build time each time. There was an asset years back that would create folders for each platform's Library/ cache and switch between them when you switched build platforms.

In CI (eg using https://game.ci) you can prefix build cache keys with the platform to manage that automatically.

Unity Cloud Build is in general slower/more flakey/sometimes has cache issues compared to DIY CI, but it should speed up after a successful first build as long as it caches the Library/ folder, and they do separate that out by build platform properly. (Worth checking each build config setting is set to cache that)

Curious, are the slow build times locally, your own CI or Unity Cloud Build? (If local/own builders may be some ways to dramatically lower the build times eg by managing the Library/ cache per-platform.)

Happy to help anyone with optimizing these approaches it's been a pain to figure out
