Thank you, what a treat! Looking forward to binge-watching all of these. At one point in his talk, Andrew mentioned a shader workshop run by Mason on the previous day. Are there any plans to release a recording of this - or even a few notes? Obviously no stress if not, but that would really be the icing on the cake. šŸ˜‡ ---

I donā€™t think there was any recording happening during the workshopā€”and it probably wouldnā€™t make sense for there to be one, since most of the day was spent guiding us through playing with stuff. I hope @MasonRemaley doesnā€™t mind me sharing the link to the Git repo on Codeberg: [https://codeberg.org/Games-by-Mason/mr\_shader\_workshop](https://codeberg.org/Games-by-Mason/mr_shader_workshop) ---

Iā€™m also planning on creating a text version of the shader workshop with additional commentary, Iā€™ll share it here when I do. [However, that will have to wait until Iā€™m done spending all my free time rewatching Nilesā€™ talk repeatedly in an effort to absorb it all and become a SIMD expert.] ---

I was hoping @Validark might have a blog version of his talk, but Iā€™ll also rewatch it several times til I can understand it. ---

Nice shoutout to R from @Calder-Ty. There are dozens of us who got our start with this language! ![a man in a suit and tie stands in a crowd|262.5x147.95454545454544](https://media.tenor.com/_A_HGGKq300AAAAM/dozens-of-us-there-are-dozens-of-us.gif)
