I'll begin my journey to devcon on Sept. 30 so I won't make it. Hopefully, I'll see most of you guys there.

[maurelian]

Planning to be OOO that day, might be able to call in while driving.

[charles-cooper]

discussion topic (time permitting): since vyper is so amenable to static analysis, how aggressively can we optimize vyper code? since smart contract bugs are so costly, how aggressively should we optimize vyper code?

code review process

[charles-cooper]

note from meeting: investigate flipping bits for int bounds (e.g. MAX_UINT256 is ~0).

[charles-cooper]

1 approval for docs changes, 2 approvals for code changes

[fubuloubu]

@charles-cooper can you add a VIP for implementing short-circuiting?
