@jmdagdelen @boztank Whenever I work with meta eng directly the experience is great because they care. It's been pretty clear that they're just bad at prioritization and focus across the teams. Almost as if feature leads have their hands tied when leadership is focused on the shiny things.

@afoxdesign @Rengle820 I wouldn't apply to a company if it wasn't something I'm passionate about. Work takes so much of your life that it's worth putting some effort into making sure it's something you care about and a group of people you're aligned with. Find that and no one will be "making" you gush

@Heaney555 There were more posts after the article was published.

@Heaney555 I definitely won’t pull my punches on perf stuff but in this case it sounds like it wasn’t intentional. This is why it shouldn’t have been leaked.

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

@Heaney555 at the end of the day I think it just got blown up because of the ongoing degradation everyone has been seeing so everyone's on edge. That said, the internal chat about it shouldn't have been leaked... it needs to be a safe space for meta to communicate with devs.

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

@Heaney555 I think it's difficult to understand the impact scale. It's an opt-in setting so likely relatively small but devs can't track it. I bet folks working on it had the right intentions but it failed to be tested well. Imho it was due to a coordination/prio/comms issue internally

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

I have so much respect for everyone who has pushed through these challenges and maintains a published app on the store 🫡

Meta's frequent Horizon OS updates are coming at the cost of performance issues and bugs for Quest developers:

@dziemid @Rengle820 unfortunately Meta still runs it's own IK because of their parametric body solution. Our custom IK adds a bit (just for the local player. remote don't need it) but ultimately we were able to get to a spot better than the previous version.

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

Probably one of the most complex things I've ever worked on. So many considerations go into a golf swing and then applying it to anyone just based on two inputs (head and one controller) was quite the challenge.

[UploadVR @UploadVR]

GOLF+ now uses the new Meta Avatars with legs, and implemented a custom IK system to make them work well for golf swings.

@jmdagdelen @c_pruett great idea. win/win for sure

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

@RJdoesVR congrats RJ!

[GOLF+ @golfplusvr]

Another milestone ✅

@maxweisel @cursor_ai unity C#. It added a function today along with some class props to the wrong file and couldn't clean it up from there after moving it to the correct file even after multiple prompts. I have it set to the default model which may be the issue but the others fail on me too much

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

@rolandsmeenk @iBrews it was a small group overall for sure. Not sure I can be specific unfortunately

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

@rolandsmeenk @iBrews it was really good! They definitely put a lot of effort into making porting as simple as possible.

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

@chadmumm Episode 7 was amazing! great job

[Matt Sich @Matt_Sich]

Great opportunity to see the progress we've made on the course tech side since launching our first 18 hole course!

A little sneak peak at the "renovation" being done to Cliffs - the OG GOLF+ track!
