[2:19:11][@centhusiast][Q: Hi [@cmuratori Casey]! I was very sick and my health condition was very bad and for the last three months and now I am fortunately back to life and to [~hero Handmade Hero]. Could you briefly say what the focus of [~hero Handmade Hero] was in the last three months? Thank you!]
[2:20:16][@infinum][Q: @handmade_hero Hello [@cmuratori Casey], this question may be off-topic but it's really important for me. I know you were doing some :UI development. I saw your video on immediate mode UI. I have the only job opportunity to develop UI for mobile app but I've never done that and I need this job. So can you please give me some advice on where to find information, maybe some guides on UI development and were you using some :library or did you write everything from scratch? It would be very helpful for me]
[2:23:14][@somebody_took_my_name][Q: What is the best way to debug something that only happens in optimized code?]

[2:28:03][@tomtetlaw][Q: Can you give a general idea of how to optimise branches out of a function?]
[2:29:49][@legendarior][Q: Hello, thank you for all the videos. I am a bored CS student that aced his exams and now does not know what to do during his vacation]
[2:29:58][@lucid_frost][Q: What kinds of things would you like the compiler to do to help with this table stuff (if any)?][:language]
[2:30:12][@centhusiast][Q: Could you explain the compile time execution as we have in jai?][:language]
[2:30:19][@billdstrong][Q: Would meowhash be suitable to create a custom UUID? It wouldn't be part of the UUID spec, but could it serve the same purpose?][:hashing]
[2:30:42][End it there][:speech]
