Just some stuff about me.
Here's my dotfiles repository.

“I never understood why video content is so big on the Internet these days. Granted; for some things, video is a great medium–demonstrating a physical process is a great use-case for video, for example. But there’s a whole category of videos that are basically a talking head reading an article, and I never understood these. It would be far quicker and easier to publish as an article. And more convenient to consume, as well (scanning back over text works a lot better than scrubbing back through a video).
TIL that maybe a text article isn’t easier to consume. Maybe half the US adult population essentially needs someone to read an article to them, at this point.“
“Because due to youtube/tiktok video is now the default consumption mechanism.
And it is SLOW. An article (with diagrams) is much denser and quicker to consume and better to re-investigate/look something up in.
And I have noticed this in mentoring juniors, too (software devs): they want to just watch you on a shared screen and ‘consume’ what you do.“
