I have some blog posts coming out soon. I’m also trying an experiment where I make YouTube videos[0] on each of them. My first video was a huge lift, since it was my first time doing everything.
Random observations from my first one: - presenting my idea visually helped crystallize my thinking in a way that writing doesn’t. And writing was already very good at crystallizing my thinking. - even making a bad video was a lot of work - making a video presentable is a deep subject. Subtle changes were throwing off my setup. Now I understand why so many influencers are fitness and lifestyle; the demand side is obvious, but when you’re already camera-ready you have a huge advantage on the supply side - described something I built felt natural. I do that for a living. The intro was like 45 seconds and took me like 45 minutes to film because it was acting and I don’t know how to do that - learning about video editing features had an immediate payoff because video is so long
[0] I’m posting the videos at https://m.youtube.com/@bitlog-dev . I said if the first one got to 100 I’d commit to making at least 10, and I just crossed that threshold
