Great point, kind of like how poorer people are more likely to donate to charities than the wealthy -- you're much more sensitive to a plight you've experienced first hand.

A business observation from the past 10 years with Agile Lens — with some exceptions, generally the more well-funded a company or individual, the less likely they are to pay on time. Smaller companies, tighter budgets, family-funded rounds? They pay right away.

Yeaaaaaa I’m a little embarrassed how many times I’ve bought two of something important because of my certainty I was going to lose the first one.
I even got a passport card as a backup for my passport, then lost both within a day of each other 🤦

Confused whether you have ADHD or Autism? Take this test:
If you have the same wallet you’ve owned since you were 10, you have Autism
If you have 2 wallets of the same type and one stays in a drawer in case you lose the other one, you have ADHD

And the archival recordings that capture everything in the scene at all times are a pretty brilliant adaptation on the Unreal Engine replay system (let’s look at that headshot again!) — Jun our team talked all about it at Unreal NYC last week:

Oh and our mocap was inconsistent last year— sometimes great, sometimes very glitchy. It’s stabilized and always looks good now!

After spending 3 full days with a dozen or so members of Apple’s visionOS team, I can safely say they are COMMITTED to this ecosystem, eager to help devs, and have a long and exciting roadmap ahead.

We use Unreal Engine which is free and about to get much better even a fork from Polyarc comes out in the coming weeks. Godot is also an excellent choice!
