34:35timrex Regarding OpenGL vs Vulkan etc. Assume I know both Vulkan + OpenGL to a basic enough level. Do you think that, even if I were reasonably competent in Vulkan, does it make sense to prototype / iterate ideas in OpenGL first, and then port it to Vulkan?

37:45iradicator I think it's cool that you're opening up as a platform to share knowledge as a reliable place folks can learn from. There are lots of mistakes / outdated material out there and it's hard for an intermediate / advanced programmers to find good resources. Can you share the quality bar / standards for posting in Learn OpenGL about specific topics? I feel like there are lots of modern things missing (ssr, motionblur, etc) that folks can fill in. That way, folks can start to adjust their examples to meet your bar
