Here is a quick screen capture of the badges I worked on for hack week (so don't expect to see this on Roblox itself) Includes badges on your profile in-app, a new badge view for games, and the ability to compare badges from a game with your friends
I won't be working a booth or giving a talk but come talk to me about any friends or profile related features and/or bugs at
#RDC24
. I'm hoping to have a long list of items to look into after RDC is over.

I'm working on a variety of other stuff so it's not like I exclusively worked on this from Jan to June but mostly it was switching out any consumers using the endpoint. Account settings needed a new design to support pagination and various others needed infrastructure updates
Thanks to the 700+ teams at Roblox that participated in Hack Week. We'll see many of these innovations in our platform over time. Stay tuned... Last year's here:
A lot of this work, especially having your friends alias in game was a lot of work i did this year. A big part was making sure this is unobtrusive to devs.
Today, Roblox announced a few changes to how Names are evolving on the platform...
What was previously referred to as “DisplayName” and “Alias” has been simplified and is now referred to as a “Name”.
17+ users in the U.S. can now also edit their Name to be their real name to
Just as they hit their stride, the teams face unforeseen obstacles as the project deadline approaches.

Hack Week 2023 docuseries is out now on YouTube:
I'm working on all the real names changes on roblox, so being able to set a name for a friend and it showing up in game and all over the platform as your friends name instead of display name 😬
@KinderDev
The main issue is calling 200+ blocked users at once starts to get expensive. So we had to create endpoints that let you page through these increased limits. But now we could technically do much more if we wanted
Going to make a simulator game just so i can get an RDC invite next year. Also i have the heaviest cold that i probably got meeting so many people Sunday 🤒
If you goto the “Friends” section on Phone and Tablet,
@Roblox
has updated the layout to show your friends avatars, display name, and whether they’re online or offline!

@Dued1_Roblox
ugh, for 2 of my hackweeks for the past 4 years was allowing users to create their own lists of games they could share but it never went anywhere :( this is awesome!

Honestly I thought our project was really neat and you don't even get a clear picture of what we built because they never even show it. And we were the winning team
Does anyone use Player:IsFriendsWith() at all in their games? if so why? Have you looked into using Player:GetFriendsOnline() Instead? Asking for a friend 😏
Also added an ability to favorite badges to display them on the profile although its hard to see that in the video (a star appears when i click on a badge I own)
Went to Outside Lands over the weekend, here is 2023 to now. I've made some lifestyle changes recently and there is probably a 10 lb difference between the two.
Saw a kid with my Roblox shirt and I really wanted to give him a gold token but I feel like the TSA line is the worse time to be handing things to random children. Maybe next time
Better badges list (Beta)
This one was definitely a lot more fun to implement, and the UI is still a little funky. Heavily inspired by a Roblox Hackweek 2022 project:
i'm back home and im back at work, going to japan has made me really want to learn the language so i got a private tutor and will being using some other tools to hopefully learn quicker, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to learn let me know 🙏
Thank you to

2016 was marriott like anne said, 2015 was like some weird coworking space in the middle of the city. there was like 100 of us. found an old photo you can see both of us in it.
Literally registered as a democrat just so i could vote for bernie in the primaries. Am very disappointed and am not excited to watch 2 gross candidates in the general election this year
The past month I've decided I wanted to give more anime a shot since I've only seen the popular shonen ones when I was a kid. The blatant over-sexualizing of women in more than half of the ones I watched is mentally exhausting.
