   Did too much in Blueprints again, had to rip it out and replace it with C++. I should know better, but in my defence it was very user-facing "UI like" code, just using actors, and I normally do UI code in BPs. But like always it hit a complexity wall and I had to unpick it

     @sinbad Using C++ coroutines for my UMG stuff has been a game changer. I don't really do anything GUI-related in BP anymore, other than populating the BindWidget UPROPERTYs.

     @sinbad I replaced a bunch of UMG animations with C++ timelines for instance, just setting whatever value the animation would set on Tick, but with no BP.

     Any time you'd use a 🕒 node in BP or arrange for a callback (🟥 pin, e.g., timers), coroutines have a chance of being a good replacement.
