It's really nice seeing things come together. For example: Making a change with UI. It creates a meaningful diff for a PR. GH actions run to reproduce CAD artifacts, like the updated geometry file and a snapshot. Example PR here github.com/KittyCAD/kcl-samp…

Meet Zookeeper, our conversational CAD agent. ✨

yuuuuuh, @zoodotdev just got booleans! "Anything less than CSG on GPU is a complete waste of time.©"

The CEO encouraging the engineers to swear in their code, and clarifying the circumstances in which it's okay to remove said swear words.

we have crossed the chasm

There's a new int function in KCL in today's v0.24.5 release, which means you can do math in patternTransform's, so @frank_noirot used it to make responsive rack gear

If anyone's done an Xstate v4 to v5 migration and wants to contract with @zoodotdev to do our migration too, ping me!

Never gets old

The other day someone told me “you should have your labelers do X” I laughed so hard, we wish we had labelers! We have two nerds in a dark room* in Ohio! At launch it was 1 nerd! Suffice to say, the model will only get better. *the room is not actually dark afaik

We have various CAD tools to build rockets and houses, but not both at the same time. So if you need to make a colony in space, you’re stuck. Or not? I am happy to share that from now on, I'm helping @zoodotdev build tools that will bring us to interstellar travel: 🧵thread 1/8
