Hi Jochen, We alternate the meeting time every week: 10 AM eastern one week, and 5 PM eastern the next. This is to make it easier for people to attend the time that's more convenient. This week was at 5 PM Eastern. Next week will be at 10 am eastern.
Concerning the "optimization" work, yes it's very interesting. I'll check the YouTube video out, but James Fredley already mentioned we cheated like other people did to make it fast. What's interesting is by cheating the same way, we're still faster. -James On Thu, Oct 29, 2026 at 2:24 PM Jochen Theodorou via dev < [email protected]> wrote: > On 10/28/26 21:47, James Daugherty wrote: > > We meet every week via a google meeting.
