WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200
specifically these days into k -dramas honestly

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:08.119
like my like my mother -in -law really yeah is

00:00:08.119 --> 00:00:11.359
that the korean ones yeah exactly yeah they're

00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.660
for old ladies man how did you end up there and

00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:17.739
realistically you can't change people the only

00:00:17.739 --> 00:00:22.820
way that i had any success i don't want to say

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:24.739
converting but convincing people that this is

00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:28.839
a good idea is when they came to me with a genuine

00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:32.320
curiosity and they were interested why i'm doing

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.140
it yeah and then i share why i'm doing it without

00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:38.439
saying that you should do the same but i believe

00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.619
this is how i had the most success in getting

00:00:41.619 --> 00:00:44.840
the message across and yeah it doesn't work if

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.259
i just you know go up to random people and tell

00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:49.520
them well You should do the same, you know, that's

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.420
not how it works. It also doesn't work at work

00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:55.759
with like Neo of M. Like I'm preaching the gospel

00:00:55.759 --> 00:01:00.719
of Neo of M at work, but nobody cares. Now, what

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.340
is this? Is it some sort of metal? Oh, it has

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:08.060
the pig voice, right? That squeaks. Is that what

00:01:08.060 --> 00:01:11.620
it is? I can see this guy doing the pig sounds.

00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.609
Is that? That is not necessarily pig sounds,

00:01:14.709 --> 00:01:18.109
but if you're listening to this as a podcast,

00:01:18.329 --> 00:01:20.310
remember that it was originally recorded as a

00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:22.150
video. If you're not following along, you can

00:01:22.150 --> 00:01:24.230
go to my YouTube channel. My username is Linkarzu.

00:01:24.349 --> 00:01:26.310
And if you want to support me to keep this podcast

00:01:26.310 --> 00:01:28.829
going, you can donate in Ko -fi. I'm going to

00:01:28.829 --> 00:01:30.769
leave a link in the description. All right. So

00:01:30.769 --> 00:01:34.109
let's get started with this chapter then. What

00:01:34.109 --> 00:01:38.189
are we doing today? I have another guest, Hendrik.

00:01:38.390 --> 00:01:42.310
You may have seen him. as henry misc on youtube

00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:47.590
hey hendrik hey how's it going good good and

00:01:47.590 --> 00:01:53.049
you yep doing good as well so um thanks for being

00:01:53.049 --> 00:01:56.310
here with us man and um you know it's a holiday

00:01:56.310 --> 00:01:59.129
where you're at it's a holiday here as well but

00:01:59.129 --> 00:02:03.010
i have to work but um where where are you at

00:02:03.010 --> 00:02:07.189
by the way i'm based in barcelona spain barcelona

00:02:07.189 --> 00:02:10.689
spain okay Now, are you from Spain as well? Were

00:02:10.689 --> 00:02:14.050
you born there? No, originally I'm from Germany,

00:02:14.150 --> 00:02:18.389
but I've been living here since 2018, more or

00:02:18.389 --> 00:02:23.090
less. Oh, yeah? And how did that happen? Why?

00:02:23.310 --> 00:02:27.009
If you want to share it with us. Yeah, so I guess

00:02:27.009 --> 00:02:31.550
the main motivator for me was my fiance. And

00:02:31.550 --> 00:02:35.870
yeah, she's from Spain. Basically, we've been

00:02:35.870 --> 00:02:37.830
living in Germany before and then there was kind

00:02:37.830 --> 00:02:41.210
of a break where I've been working in a different

00:02:41.210 --> 00:02:43.229
industry before. I was actually in sales at some

00:02:43.229 --> 00:02:45.830
point and I wanted to do something else and get

00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:49.210
into tech. And so I wanted to do a master's degree.

00:02:49.889 --> 00:02:54.030
And when I decided where to do it, then Spain

00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:58.009
came up as one of the options where I can do

00:02:58.009 --> 00:03:02.370
this kind of degree. And yeah, that's why. We

00:03:02.370 --> 00:03:05.389
decided then to try it in Spain and move here.

00:03:05.650 --> 00:03:09.469
Where did you say she was or she is from? Is

00:03:09.469 --> 00:03:13.009
she from Spain or Germany as well? It's complicated.

00:03:13.110 --> 00:03:16.870
She was born in Germany, but none of her parents

00:03:16.870 --> 00:03:21.169
are German. So she doesn't have the German citizenship.

00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:24.430
And then when she was kind of young, they moved

00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:27.849
to Spain. So I think she's mostly Spanish at

00:03:27.849 --> 00:03:31.370
this point. Okay, okay. And what did you study

00:03:31.370 --> 00:03:33.969
in Spain? The master's, you said, right? And

00:03:33.969 --> 00:03:37.909
what is it related to? Data science. Data science.

00:03:38.189 --> 00:03:42.650
Oh, okay, okay. And what did you study like in

00:03:42.650 --> 00:03:47.389
college in Germany? Also not in Germany. For

00:03:47.389 --> 00:03:51.129
my undergrads, I went to the Netherlands. And

00:03:51.129 --> 00:03:53.909
there I actually initially studied business.

00:03:54.509 --> 00:03:56.169
And also the reason why business and not tech

00:03:56.169 --> 00:03:58.090
is also kind of a long story. We kind of get

00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:02.469
into that if you're interested. But yeah. Oh,

00:04:02.669 --> 00:04:08.050
okay. Business. Okay. And how did you end up

00:04:08.050 --> 00:04:11.030
in tech then? Like you studied business. Are

00:04:11.030 --> 00:04:14.889
you a developer? Or what are you then? Are you

00:04:14.889 --> 00:04:19.990
a businessman? All of it? At this point, I do

00:04:19.990 --> 00:04:23.189
mostly MLOps. So kind of DevOps for machine learning.

00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.139
I transitioned a bit into that from data science

00:04:27.139 --> 00:04:31.199
as a basis. And actually I started programming

00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.879
when I was kind of young. So like around 10 years

00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.779
old. Back then, basically my stepdad, he was

00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:40.740
into computer science and he was an engineer.

00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.759
And he was kind of my role model and I wanted

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.120
to become like him, you know? And so I said,

00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:48.839
I don't understand anything what you're doing.

00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:50.480
How does programming work? Like where do you

00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.930
type the code? I found this idea that you can

00:04:53.930 --> 00:04:55.410
just type something in a computer and then you

00:04:55.410 --> 00:04:57.670
have a program that solves a problem. That's

00:04:57.670 --> 00:05:01.829
kind of amazing. So he gave me this book. And

00:05:01.829 --> 00:05:04.829
back then it was Visual Basic. Terrible language.

00:05:05.110 --> 00:05:10.750
Terrible language. Yeah, but a good entry point

00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:15.209
back then. And so I started programming with

00:05:15.209 --> 00:05:18.889
this Visual Basic. And actually also initially

00:05:18.889 --> 00:05:23.490
my main motivation was to... um build bots for

00:05:23.490 --> 00:05:26.250
a game that i was playing and to build key loggers

00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:32.250
to spy on my girlfriend so yeah i was always

00:05:32.250 --> 00:05:35.910
in it for the right reasons i guess um anyway

00:05:35.910 --> 00:05:39.209
so basically my stepdad at some point when i

00:05:39.209 --> 00:05:43.430
was around 15 he uh left me and my mom sort of

00:05:43.430 --> 00:05:46.290
overnight uh and i've not seen him ever since

00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:50.100
and Yeah, at that point. So it was basically

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:52.339
like he found a younger woman and said, well,

00:05:52.379 --> 00:05:57.220
yeah, see ya, I guess. Have a good rest of your

00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:00.439
life. Have you heard about him after that? Not

00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.339
at all. No. And I guess I only realized it now,

00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.160
many years later. But I think back then I kind

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.939
of, he was my role model. And then I realized

00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:13.459
my role model was actually an asshole. And I

00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:17.019
didn't want to become like him. So I kind of

00:06:17.019 --> 00:06:21.259
had to leave this tech world, let's say, and

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:23.000
I wanted to do something completely different.

00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:26.199
And that's how I ended up ultimately in business.

00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.600
And then many years later, I reconnected back

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:36.779
to that, I guess, childhood memories. The IT

00:06:36.779 --> 00:06:40.480
-related stuff. So what made you go back to programming

00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.459
and stuff? Yeah, so... After I studied business,

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.300
I actually got a decent job in Germany at a big

00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:49.879
company, but it was more project management and

00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.579
sales related. And I guess many of us in the

00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:56.680
Neovim community and Linux and that kind of stuff,

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.860
we are more on the introverted side. So I guess

00:07:00.860 --> 00:07:03.740
you can tell that sales is not my natural strong

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:08.199
suit. And even in that world, I found myself

00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.480
really... enjoying most when I work with Excel

00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.639
or something logical that is built with numbers

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.300
and math and this kind of stuff. And I noticed

00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:20.620
that I wanted to spend way more time on these

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:23.319
basic sales analysis than actually doing the

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.600
stuff that I was hired to do. And so I realized

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.740
I had to do something else. And data science

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:31.680
was a natural transition because it's still kind

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.759
of related to business. There's lots of business

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.899
applications in data science. And it was a smoother

00:07:36.899 --> 00:07:41.040
transition to me than going into, I don't know,

00:07:41.060 --> 00:07:46.399
backend development at that point. Okay. And

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.860
how did the YouTube thing happen then? I'm going

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:53.079
to switch to my screen here so we can take a

00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.040
look at your channel. And this has always, you

00:07:56.040 --> 00:08:00.019
know, I have always had this question. How come

00:08:00.019 --> 00:08:03.870
you have so... few videos only 19 videos and

00:08:03.870 --> 00:08:07.350
you have 7 000 subscribers i have 8 000 subscribers

00:08:07.350 --> 00:08:11.329
and i have like damn like i don't know 253 i

00:08:11.329 --> 00:08:14.029
lost count already i just lost count completely

00:08:14.029 --> 00:08:19.889
right so how did all this happen like why did

00:08:19.889 --> 00:08:25.250
you decide to start a youtube channel so i have

00:08:25.250 --> 00:08:30.569
a theory um why that might be the case and i

00:08:30.569 --> 00:08:32.860
think it's it comes down to three factors and

00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:37.860
i only control two of them so it looks like bimety

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:41.379
right that has to do i don't know about that

00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:47.740
but um i believe that uh first a few of my videos

00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:51.759
had pretty good timing i guess by accident so

00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:56.700
i think the most popular video got like 180 000

00:08:56.700 --> 00:08:59.629
views or something at this point yeah So it's

00:08:59.629 --> 00:09:02.049
like NeoVim from scratch based on Kickstart and

00:09:02.049 --> 00:09:04.889
Vim. And I think it was right at the time where

00:09:04.889 --> 00:09:08.129
Prime suggested to start with Kickstart when

00:09:08.129 --> 00:09:10.409
you want to get into NeoVim. So I guess I got

00:09:10.409 --> 00:09:13.730
a lot of clicks through just organic search.

00:09:13.909 --> 00:09:19.830
That's my assumption. And the next part, and

00:09:19.830 --> 00:09:22.710
I also think the Level Up Your Vim game that

00:09:22.710 --> 00:09:25.070
also had just good timing. There was not a lot

00:09:25.070 --> 00:09:29.269
of content 11 months ago like this. on YouTube.

00:09:29.690 --> 00:09:33.830
So I think it was just lucky timing. The second

00:09:33.830 --> 00:09:38.330
factor is the thumbnails. And I also don't control

00:09:38.330 --> 00:09:43.190
that very much, to be honest. Because it is really

00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:47.049
tough. And I'm terrible at the aesthetics. So

00:09:47.049 --> 00:09:50.330
usually I come up with this thumbnail and title

00:09:50.330 --> 00:09:53.870
concept. But then I go to my fiance, to Kelly,

00:09:54.009 --> 00:09:56.919
and I ask her like, Can you make this beautiful?

00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.480
Can you make this pop? Okay, okay, okay. That's

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.559
the trick then. Okay. Exactly. So maybe you can

00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:07.220
see that there is a woman's hand involved in

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:11.480
all of these thumbnails. Man, yeah, because they

00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.700
make you click. That's the thing, you know? You

00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:16.440
have to make people click. I cannot figure it

00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.600
out yet, man. I don't figure out thumbnails.

00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.940
Sometimes I come up with good ideas, I think,

00:10:23.059 --> 00:10:27.590
but no, they're not clicked. it is super tough

00:10:27.590 --> 00:10:31.350
and if i come up with the initial design then

00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:33.009
it always looks terrible and she's like oh no

00:10:33.009 --> 00:10:35.129
you can't do it like this let's rearrange some

00:10:35.129 --> 00:10:36.889
stuff oh this has to be smaller this has to be

00:10:36.889 --> 00:10:40.669
bigger it has to pop more you know oh and i would

00:10:40.669 --> 00:10:43.129
never think about these uh things myself and

00:10:43.129 --> 00:10:47.269
she's just amazing at this and you do that thumbnail

00:10:47.269 --> 00:10:49.570
first or the video first because i was talking

00:10:49.570 --> 00:10:52.610
to elliot he's the dreams of code guy i don't

00:10:52.610 --> 00:10:54.750
know if you've seen him he has a big channel

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.100
he said do the thumbnail first and the title

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:01.960
first i always do the thumbnail and the title

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.100
at the end once the video is done i just come

00:11:05.100 --> 00:11:07.600
up with something quick whatever but i think

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.000
it's a huge part of it and i haven't tried doing

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:15.600
it first how do you do it yeah that's that's

00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:20.179
interesting so i definitely started doing video

00:11:20.179 --> 00:11:23.080
first and then thumbnail and title but these

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.269
days i also try to do it in the same order that

00:11:26.269 --> 00:11:29.269
a viewer might experience the video. So they

00:11:29.269 --> 00:11:32.769
see the thumbnail first, then they see the title,

00:11:32.909 --> 00:11:35.750
they click on the video. And for me, it helps

00:11:35.750 --> 00:11:37.769
when I think like this from a viewer's perspective

00:11:37.769 --> 00:11:44.889
to deliver on the expectation, if that makes

00:11:44.889 --> 00:11:48.070
sense. Yeah, makes sense. But you have like a

00:11:48.070 --> 00:11:52.250
general idea, right? Just a thumbnail comes to

00:11:52.250 --> 00:11:54.990
your mind and then you create the video based

00:11:54.990 --> 00:11:57.629
on the thumbnail? Or it's like, okay, I have

00:11:57.629 --> 00:11:59.669
this video idea, but I'll create the thumbnail

00:11:59.669 --> 00:12:03.289
first. I mean, I don't want to sound like I figured

00:12:03.289 --> 00:12:07.169
it out because I definitely haven't. It's still

00:12:07.169 --> 00:12:12.090
very much random what I do. But these days I

00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:14.549
have like a Kanban board where I try to organize

00:12:14.549 --> 00:12:17.549
my ideas and they sort of develop over time in

00:12:17.549 --> 00:12:21.549
Obsidian. So whenever I have an idea, I create

00:12:21.549 --> 00:12:25.509
like a new note in kind of a brainstorming column

00:12:25.509 --> 00:12:28.929
of this Kanban board. And then, yeah, whenever

00:12:28.929 --> 00:12:30.990
I find something that relates to that, I just,

00:12:31.009 --> 00:12:33.230
you know, paste links there, resources, maybe

00:12:33.230 --> 00:12:36.110
take some notes. And then when I feel that there's

00:12:36.110 --> 00:12:37.909
substance to the idea, I move it to the next

00:12:37.909 --> 00:12:39.690
column, which is more like, okay, I prioritize

00:12:39.690 --> 00:12:41.669
this video and I want to make a video about it.

00:12:42.529 --> 00:12:46.049
And yeah, this is how kind of the ideas develop

00:12:46.049 --> 00:12:49.000
over time. agile methodologies in your video

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.759
creation right all of the little bits a little

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:55.139
bit okay okay and why did you decide to start

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:58.279
with youtube then like um what was the reason

00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.399
that made you oh you know i'll start a youtube

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:05.059
channel and start sharing all this stuff honestly

00:13:05.059 --> 00:13:12.019
it was so at work i realized that at this point

00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:16.289
i am not so much limited anymore by my technical

00:13:16.289 --> 00:13:18.669
skill even though like you can always develop

00:13:18.669 --> 00:13:20.649
more and more but at this point i've figured

00:13:20.649 --> 00:13:24.470
out the basics and i can give an informed opinion

00:13:24.470 --> 00:13:26.529
on my things and i might have an idea of how

00:13:26.529 --> 00:13:31.309
to implement things and solve problems but what

00:13:31.309 --> 00:13:34.750
i'm more more limited by is my ability to communicate

00:13:34.750 --> 00:13:39.929
ideas to others and so instead of in the last

00:13:39.929 --> 00:13:42.750
like feedback cycle and we have an education

00:13:42.750 --> 00:13:45.629
budget at work that we can use every year and

00:13:45.629 --> 00:13:48.009
i decided to spend that on a course for communication

00:13:48.009 --> 00:13:52.690
i have to do that and i actually didn't finish

00:13:52.690 --> 00:13:56.629
the course because the the guy the instructor

00:13:56.629 --> 00:14:01.509
he said all of this is going to be useless if

00:14:01.509 --> 00:14:04.350
you're not willing to film yourself and speak

00:14:04.350 --> 00:14:08.409
to a camera and watch the recording back Because

00:14:08.409 --> 00:14:10.190
this is how you notice the mistakes you make,

00:14:10.289 --> 00:14:13.129
the ums and ahs and all the flaws that you have

00:14:13.129 --> 00:14:16.830
in the communication. And he said, yeah, just

00:14:16.830 --> 00:14:18.450
pick a topic that you know a lot about that you

00:14:18.450 --> 00:14:22.629
can talk about and film yourself. And I said,

00:14:22.649 --> 00:14:25.909
okay, at this point, I might as well do it properly,

00:14:26.070 --> 00:14:29.710
start a YouTube channel. just talk about the

00:14:29.710 --> 00:14:31.590
vim topic because i can talk about this for ages

00:14:31.590 --> 00:14:33.490
and i don't have anyone who wants to listen to

00:14:33.490 --> 00:14:36.009
it but maybe somewhere in the world there's someone

00:14:36.009 --> 00:14:40.049
out there who likes to to hear that and uh yeah

00:14:40.049 --> 00:14:42.570
that's kind of how how it went and i actually

00:14:42.570 --> 00:14:44.990
helped a lot i mean i'm still not a great communicator

00:14:44.990 --> 00:14:48.169
by any means but especially early on it took

00:14:48.169 --> 00:14:52.590
me so long to record a video because i made so

00:14:52.590 --> 00:14:54.889
many mistakes and oh yeah it took me so many

00:14:54.889 --> 00:14:58.019
attempts just to you know deliver a sentence

00:14:58.019 --> 00:15:00.399
properly and it is really tough when you're by

00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.860
yourself when there's two people involved like

00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:05.759
right now the conversation flows and it's easier

00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.480
but when it's you recording the video by yourself

00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:11.919
you just make mistakes and you have to redo it

00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.779
again and again i don't know what happens but

00:15:13.779 --> 00:15:16.159
it's different when you're doing it by yourself

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:19.299
compared to when you're you know in an interview

00:15:19.299 --> 00:15:21.139
or something like that have you felt that because

00:15:21.139 --> 00:15:24.559
i make way more mistakes when i'm doing the videos

00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:29.299
by myself Definitely. I'm also interested in

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:33.340
how you approach it. Do you script your videos

00:15:33.340 --> 00:15:36.559
or do you just, you know, raw dog it? No, I just

00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:40.960
raw dog it. I just go. I do have in my Skitty

00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.639
Notes app, I have like a guideline of the things

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:48.059
that I want to cover, right? So I'm in the...

00:15:48.699 --> 00:15:51.639
shower and i remember oh i have to say this in

00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:53.960
the video and i just grab my phone that's something

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.960
that i like about the apple notes right now because

00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.419
i just say siri new notes right i hope it doesn't

00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:03.000
pick it up and starts doing crap right now because

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:06.820
i'm recording but when i say that it just what

00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:08.980
i want to say and i just tell it what i want

00:16:08.980 --> 00:16:12.600
to say and it saves it in as a text in in my

00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.200
notes so i can look at it in the computer so

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.159
then i just come and i just add that in my skiddy

00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:21.919
notes just the points that i need to cover in

00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:23.980
the video and then i just go through them okay

00:16:23.980 --> 00:16:26.139
i already did this and i move on to the next

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:27.940
one i just cover all of them and that's it but

00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:32.139
i don't script it do you script it that's actually

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:34.419
amazing this i wish i had this notes functionality

00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:36.559
but i don't think it exists on android or at

00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.220
least i'm not aware of it so i tried scripting

00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:45.820
and the earlier the videos are the the more you

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:47.820
can tell it is scripted. At least the intro.

00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.379
I tried to really nail the intro, but I can't

00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:54.960
read from a script and make it look natural because

00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.159
you can see my eyes, I'm moving, I'm reading

00:16:57.159 --> 00:17:00.539
the script. It looks very bad. So basically the

00:17:00.539 --> 00:17:03.440
only option I have is memorize one sentence,

00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.380
record it, memorize the next one, record it.

00:17:07.299 --> 00:17:11.299
And that's terrible. That's very slow and painful.

00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.519
So these days... I also noticed that my viewer

00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.279
retention is much better when I just get straight

00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.539
into it. And I noticed that also with Sylvain's

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:23.339
videos. Yeah, he doesn't have a lot of cuts.

00:17:23.539 --> 00:17:26.279
Yeah, exactly. He goes straight to the point,

00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.339
you know, like maybe one, two sentences intro

00:17:28.339 --> 00:17:31.299
and that's it. And I think a lot of people appreciate

00:17:31.299 --> 00:17:34.180
that if you're kind of no bullshit and just get

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:36.759
to it, like just deliver what people are here

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:40.200
for. Yeah, that's a really good point. I did

00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.630
try to script. The first ones, I have huge blog

00:17:43.630 --> 00:17:46.250
posts. Like I have a video in which I go over

00:17:46.250 --> 00:17:51.069
how to install Windows 11 via what is this thing

00:17:51.069 --> 00:17:54.490
called Pixie Boot, right? So instead of having

00:17:54.490 --> 00:17:56.710
a flash drive, you install Windows 11 through

00:17:56.710 --> 00:17:59.750
your network. So I have a blog post about that.

00:17:59.849 --> 00:18:01.910
Basically, my video is going through the entire

00:18:01.910 --> 00:18:06.349
blog post. It's a huge blog post and it's extremely

00:18:06.349 --> 00:18:09.609
time consuming. You know, I try that for the

00:18:09.609 --> 00:18:12.559
first few. few videos and then i was like man

00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:16.819
no it takes way too long so now i just say whatever

00:18:16.819 --> 00:18:22.000
i want to say and um i should script the first

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.180
30 seconds you know to grab their attention and

00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:27.859
just tell them what the video is going to be

00:18:27.859 --> 00:18:29.799
about but i don't think about it too much it's

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.819
just hit record go and people leave in those

00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:36.509
first 30 seconds so i think that's a important

00:18:36.509 --> 00:18:39.289
part to script at least right and try to memorize

00:18:39.289 --> 00:18:42.309
it and try to make it look natural i would assume

00:18:42.309 --> 00:18:45.549
right yeah at least have like some bullets bullet

00:18:45.549 --> 00:18:48.069
points ready that you want to talk about yeah

00:18:48.069 --> 00:18:52.009
yeah and um all of your videos are related to

00:18:52.009 --> 00:18:56.890
um neovim right and um i'm not sure if you have

00:18:56.890 --> 00:19:00.490
been related i i saw well neovim workflow and

00:19:00.490 --> 00:19:05.339
mac os and all that stuff why um Did you decide

00:19:05.339 --> 00:19:09.680
to start trying BIM motions? Like, why did you

00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:13.079
take that jump? And if you want to share about

00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.380
your experience as well, the first few times

00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:18.859
that you tried them, how did you feel? Did you

00:19:18.859 --> 00:19:23.019
feel like crap or it was natural to you? No,

00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.279
it was definitely not natural. Now it's natural.

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:28.480
Now it feels like nature, but it definitely wasn't

00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.160
from the beginning. But the main motivation for

00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.829
me was actually ergonomics. So I have been struggling

00:19:34.829 --> 00:19:37.250
with wrist pain and this carpal tunnel stuff

00:19:37.250 --> 00:19:39.569
that I think a lot of people have for a very

00:19:39.569 --> 00:19:42.970
long time. And I just couldn't work pain -free

00:19:42.970 --> 00:19:45.750
on my computer for extended periods of time.

00:19:46.069 --> 00:19:48.690
So I got myself one of, I don't know if you can

00:19:48.690 --> 00:19:52.490
see it. Oh, I have that one. The MX Vertical.

00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:56.410
Exactly. You can connect it up to three devices,

00:19:56.549 --> 00:20:00.299
right? yeah it is pretty cool and it also alleviated

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:03.700
the pain a little bit but it didn't fully solve

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:06.200
the problem because the i realized that the the

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:10.099
root cause was that i have very bad habits of

00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:13.680
navigating on my computer because i switch between

00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.900
my mouse and my keyboard in very unnatural ways

00:20:15.900 --> 00:20:20.640
i didn't know how to touch type and it just didn't

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.200
feel didn't feel good and i had like very crampy

00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.049
movements And that was actually the root cause

00:20:26.049 --> 00:20:30.430
of this pain. So I felt I had to develop a workflow

00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:34.130
that is much better, that helps me, that glues

00:20:34.130 --> 00:20:36.630
my hands to the keyboard. And this is how I naturally

00:20:36.630 --> 00:20:41.190
came across Vim. So at first I tried to activate

00:20:41.190 --> 00:20:44.710
Vim motions in VS Code. And honestly, I didn't,

00:20:44.710 --> 00:20:47.849
I mean, it was tough to learn them, but my mentality

00:20:47.849 --> 00:20:51.529
was always, if I just stay in insert mode, then

00:20:51.529 --> 00:20:55.119
it's just... regular VS Code, you know? So I

00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.519
just went straight into cold water. I just at

00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.460
work in my VS Code, I just activated the Vim

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:02.980
plugin. And then whenever I had to do something

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:04.819
urgent, I just stayed in insert mode and just

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:08.460
did regular controls. Yeah, arrow keys, control

00:21:08.460 --> 00:21:14.519
C and V for copying and stuff like this. And

00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.819
that worked quite well. But then whenever I had

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:20.019
a not so urgent task, I forced myself really

00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:24.079
to touch type. and to to use the motions and

00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:26.880
this is how i um got a little bit better over

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:37.559
time okay okay and um um ergonomics you mentioned

00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:42.339
did it help you with um wrist pain how is that

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:45.720
going because i did experience that um on this

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:49.579
arm specifically here and i was concerned but

00:21:49.579 --> 00:21:53.079
i used hyper a lot with my pinky you know i used

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:57.920
hyper back then a lot and uh i think that it

00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:01.180
caused a huge problem for me i moved it to my

00:22:01.180 --> 00:22:04.680
thumb after that and it's been better but um

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.819
i switched to a different keyboard how is that

00:22:07.819 --> 00:22:10.559
for you right now are you still in pain you're

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:14.339
writing the emax pinky As they call it sometimes.

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:16.480
Basically, that's what I did, I think, yeah.

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:21.559
No, these days it's much better. I think also

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.460
home row mods help a little bit because they

00:22:25.460 --> 00:22:29.480
prevent you from, you know, jumping with your

00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:31.339
pinky to the shift keys and stuff like this.

00:22:32.339 --> 00:22:35.599
That's much better. And I moved to a mechanical

00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:38.099
keyboard initially to also the Logitech one.

00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.680
I think it's called MX Mechanical or something.

00:22:42.059 --> 00:22:45.599
That made things a little bit worse, actually,

00:22:45.619 --> 00:22:49.920
because the movement for the key movement of

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.259
mechanical keyboards is much larger. So you have

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:56.259
to press more than on a Mac keyboard. That's

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:58.920
what I've been thinking as well. It forced my

00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:02.680
hands kind of inward. I don't want to block the

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.180
camera. And I still need to jump a lot between

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:08.400
the keyboard and the mouse. Now I have a split

00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.190
keyboard, and that... That helps a lot. And I

00:23:12.190 --> 00:23:16.349
have also the trackpad in between those two keyboard

00:23:16.349 --> 00:23:19.869
halves. And yeah, for me, that helps a lot. Not

00:23:19.869 --> 00:23:21.529
scrolling with the scroll wheel on the mouse,

00:23:21.589 --> 00:23:23.970
but using the trackpad and then having my hands

00:23:23.970 --> 00:23:27.450
rested on the two keyboard halves. It works much

00:23:27.450 --> 00:23:29.930
better. Which one do you have? Which split keyboard?

00:23:31.089 --> 00:23:35.710
I have this one. Maybe I can show it. Oh, what

00:23:35.710 --> 00:23:41.420
is that? Oh, no. I don't know what that is. Iris

00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:50.220
from Keep .io, I think. Let's see. Iris. Keep

00:23:50.220 --> 00:23:53.720
.io. Let me switch here. Yeah, it's a low profile

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.819
Iris. Yeah, exactly. Oh, not this one, right?

00:23:57.900 --> 00:23:59.980
This has regular switches. No, the compact edition.

00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:05.980
This one. Yes, exactly. Okay. And how has that

00:24:05.980 --> 00:24:08.559
been? Has it been good? You still have your numbers

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.559
there. You have four thumb keys. Okay. Seems

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:14.599
like a good option, right? Yeah. Honestly, the

00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.599
layout is almost optimal for me. I wish it had

00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:22.880
two more thumb keys, one more on each side. And

00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.579
otherwise it's, yeah, I have no complaints whatsoever.

00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.279
It's very high build quality. It has like a metal

00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:32.259
frame, just feels overall really good. I did

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:35.240
spend a lot of time though to program it. and

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.700
come up with a mapping that makes sense for me

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:40.059
and layers that make sense for me but to me this

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:43.700
is perfect i can still use a number keys uh yeah

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:47.700
qrt layout and which is also important for me

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:50.960
because i wanted to still be able to use a regular

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:56.640
uh computer you know okay no complaints whatsoever

00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.779
rumen in the comments says if it's easy to map

00:25:00.779 --> 00:25:04.660
it because he has a voyager and uh They have

00:25:04.660 --> 00:25:07.680
like a special software web page that you go

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:09.460
to. How do you do this? Do you do it in GitHub

00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:14.339
in a repo or they have a tool? So it comes with

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:18.019
a tool called VIA pre -installed. Do you know

00:25:18.019 --> 00:25:22.819
it? Nope. So VIA is pretty good, but it's also

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:26.680
a bit limiting. It is a tool that you can use

00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:28.119
from your browser. So you connect your keyboard

00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:30.420
and then you can basically remap keys. It's an

00:25:30.420 --> 00:25:34.180
open source tool, I guess. And that's pretty

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:37.500
easy, but it only works for basic key remaps.

00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.619
But that comes pre -flashed. Then I flashed it

00:25:42.619 --> 00:25:47.579
again with QMK. That gives you a lot more flexibility,

00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.579
but also then the downside is you have to always

00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:52.779
reflash your keyboard if you want to make a change.

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:55.799
But yeah, I only did it once in the beginning

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.019
and I haven't touched it since. Oh, so it's QMK,

00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:03.559
it's not CMK, right? You could install that,

00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.539
I guess, if you wanted to. Okay. I don't even

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:10.240
know what the difference is, QMK and CMK. WiseOserious

00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:13.059
in the comments has told me a couple of times,

00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:16.220
and it just goes like this right over my head.

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:19.359
I forgot it. Sorry, WiseOserious, in case you...

00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.700
He said that he's not going to respond to me

00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:27.529
at all anymore. Now... How easy is it to reach

00:26:27.529 --> 00:26:30.329
the thumb key here at the top? Isn't it too difficult?

00:26:30.430 --> 00:26:33.109
These two, because it's one on top of the other.

00:26:34.269 --> 00:26:36.670
Yeah, so the lower thumb keys, they're very easy

00:26:36.670 --> 00:26:40.269
to reach. So my thumbs rest naturally on those.

00:26:40.470 --> 00:26:42.549
But then the upper thumb keys, I can't really

00:26:42.549 --> 00:26:45.309
press them without pressing the one below. So

00:26:45.309 --> 00:26:47.210
I actually use them with my index fingers and

00:26:47.210 --> 00:26:51.569
I have the backspace key there. Maybe a bit unusual,

00:26:51.849 --> 00:26:56.490
but it works, yeah. Oh, I see. You have the backspace

00:26:56.490 --> 00:27:01.329
there? Yeah, I have delete on the left side and

00:27:01.329 --> 00:27:04.990
backspace on the right. Okay, makes sense. Was

00:27:04.990 --> 00:27:07.349
it designed for you to press it with your index

00:27:07.349 --> 00:27:10.769
or that's something you just came up with? I

00:27:10.769 --> 00:27:13.890
think I came up with that. I don't know. There's

00:27:13.890 --> 00:27:15.829
another layout that is similar. I think it's

00:27:15.829 --> 00:27:20.089
called Lily58 or something. I do believe that

00:27:20.089 --> 00:27:23.430
is... slightly better layout than this iris layout

00:27:23.430 --> 00:27:29.250
but i didn't find any pre -built options from

00:27:29.250 --> 00:27:32.589
a reputable brand so i went with this one okay

00:27:32.589 --> 00:27:36.990
i see yeah because the glove 80 is you will not

00:27:36.990 --> 00:27:39.130
be able to see it there but it has like a little

00:27:39.130 --> 00:27:45.589
it's this key is is higher and this one is lower

00:27:45.589 --> 00:27:49.589
right so you can reach them But to be honest

00:27:49.589 --> 00:27:53.029
with you, the Glove 80, I'm just using two keys

00:27:53.029 --> 00:27:55.589
right now at the moment, two thumb keys. These

00:27:55.589 --> 00:27:58.829
two, right? This one and this one. Because I

00:27:58.829 --> 00:28:01.109
realized that, yeah, it's comfortable to have

00:28:01.109 --> 00:28:04.509
a lot of thumb keys, but this stretching that

00:28:04.509 --> 00:28:08.250
you need to do, it feels, you start to feel it

00:28:08.250 --> 00:28:11.190
after a while, right? This, and then go up here,

00:28:11.269 --> 00:28:14.049
up here, and up here. Look at this. To reach

00:28:14.049 --> 00:28:17.069
these, look how my thumbs are. And I always like

00:28:17.069 --> 00:28:19.950
to keep my hands in the home row, right? So I

00:28:19.950 --> 00:28:24.450
like to keep them here. But reaching this, using

00:28:24.450 --> 00:28:29.049
your thumb a lot, you start to feel it after

00:28:29.049 --> 00:28:31.529
a while. So I just went with two right now. These

00:28:31.529 --> 00:28:35.470
two that are the closest to me. So the top row

00:28:35.470 --> 00:28:38.690
of the thumb keys is not mapped at all? No. They're

00:28:38.690 --> 00:28:41.130
not doing anything. Just the two at the bottom.

00:28:41.230 --> 00:28:43.390
Because that's where my thumbs are resting all

00:28:43.390 --> 00:28:45.329
the time, right? So it's pretty natural for me

00:28:45.329 --> 00:28:48.609
to type this and this one as well. And pretty

00:28:48.609 --> 00:28:52.109
easily. And I'm not using the numbers. But the

00:28:52.109 --> 00:28:55.630
reason is because I pre -order a keyboard. Let's

00:28:55.630 --> 00:29:03.309
see. Let me look for it. Oh, the Korn. Yeah,

00:29:03.329 --> 00:29:04.829
but this is a prototype. That's a popular one.

00:29:05.049 --> 00:29:09.349
Yeah, this is a prototype that they... They closed

00:29:09.349 --> 00:29:12.210
the orders already, but it's low profile. Because

00:29:12.210 --> 00:29:14.650
what you said, I have that theory, you know,

00:29:14.670 --> 00:29:18.329
that these switches, even if it's chalk switches,

00:29:18.549 --> 00:29:21.970
even if it's low profile switches, they are harder

00:29:21.970 --> 00:29:26.970
to press compared to like my MacBook. No, well,

00:29:27.049 --> 00:29:30.549
the external Apple keyboard, right? So that was

00:29:30.549 --> 00:29:33.130
really soft. It didn't hurt my hands at all.

00:29:33.250 --> 00:29:37.089
So I was waiting for someone to come up with

00:29:37.089 --> 00:29:41.319
this. Because I want to try lower switches, not

00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.319
chocks, which are the lowest at the moment, but

00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:47.160
something even lower, right? So if you compare

00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.819
this, well, here's the regular, here's the chocks.

00:29:52.019 --> 00:29:55.660
But look at this thing. It's pretty flat. Oh,

00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:58.859
wow. I hope I'm not disappointed when I give

00:29:58.859 --> 00:30:02.720
it a try. We'll see what happens. It definitely

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:07.190
looks very sleek. Yep. and i do agree on the

00:30:07.190 --> 00:30:09.690
key travel i mean the more you have to press

00:30:09.690 --> 00:30:11.390
the more movement you have to make in general

00:30:11.390 --> 00:30:14.769
so i believe that's a little bit less ergonomic

00:30:14.769 --> 00:30:18.369
than just being able to rest your hands and making

00:30:18.369 --> 00:30:22.589
very small key presses yeah what do you think

00:30:22.589 --> 00:30:26.190
about the the chalk sorry the the corn layout

00:30:26.190 --> 00:30:29.849
don't you think it's a bit restrictive well that's

00:30:29.849 --> 00:30:35.769
the thing that i got used to using only 40 keys.

00:30:35.890 --> 00:30:39.549
Before I purchased this, I was planning on buying

00:30:39.549 --> 00:30:44.130
a Korn, right? Because I noticed as well that

00:30:44.130 --> 00:30:48.230
the more your fingers travel, the more they hurt,

00:30:48.369 --> 00:30:52.990
right? So if I'm just using the home row right

00:30:52.990 --> 00:30:56.450
now, the row above and the row below, that's

00:30:56.450 --> 00:30:59.509
it, right? My fingers don't travel to the number

00:30:59.509 --> 00:31:03.269
to this row up here or to the F keys, which are

00:31:03.269 --> 00:31:07.299
way higher. So the numbers are too difficult

00:31:07.299 --> 00:31:09.960
to reach for me. Well, they're not comfortable,

00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:12.480
right? They're not comfortable. I never got used

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.180
to them and I've been typing for, what, 20 years.

00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.880
Numbers are here. F keys are here. That's too

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:21.380
much of a stretch. It's too much for me. So now

00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:24.900
I'm just using these three rows. My numbers are

00:31:24.900 --> 00:31:27.779
easily accessible, right? With my thumb here,

00:31:27.980 --> 00:31:30.720
I enable this layer. I can type the numbers.

00:31:30.819 --> 00:31:33.619
They're in my home row, right? numbers are pretty

00:31:33.619 --> 00:31:37.099
easy to type symbols are above right on the row

00:31:37.099 --> 00:31:41.700
above pretty easy to type as well so i got used

00:31:41.700 --> 00:31:45.700
to those 40 keys right the corn has 42 keys so

00:31:45.700 --> 00:31:49.839
i'm still going to be having two extra keys you

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:52.500
know but i remapped even my macbook keyboard

00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:55.180
the laptop keyboard i remapped it so i'm just

00:31:55.180 --> 00:31:58.680
using 40 keys on that keyboard as well the exact

00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:03.420
same thing exact same layout so I got used to

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:06.619
it. The first few days were painful. I hated

00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:10.619
it. You know, I even recorded some videos and

00:32:10.619 --> 00:32:14.180
I was doing a live stream. I was bad. I was really

00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:18.700
slow, but got used to it already. And that's

00:32:18.700 --> 00:32:21.359
why I decided to purchase it. We're going to

00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:26.420
see how it goes. Now, I do think that the ferris

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:28.980
sweep is a mistake. to be honest with you, because

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:32.500
that one has only 34 keys. And Wisehole Series

00:32:32.500 --> 00:32:35.220
is there in the comments. And just to be able

00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:38.740
to type an uppercase letter, he has to type like

00:32:38.740 --> 00:32:41.920
four different keys combinations and do one shot

00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:43.960
tricks. And I don't know what he has to do just

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.880
to type a single uppercase letter. What are your

00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:51.660
thoughts there? Yeah, that's exactly why I personally

00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:54.059
prefer to have a little bit less minimal keyboard.

00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:58.400
Because I travel a lot and that's also why I

00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.920
went for something that's a bit more low profile.

00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:05.619
But I don't travel that much that I need to save

00:33:05.619 --> 00:33:08.200
the extra weight and space. It's still okay for

00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:12.359
me. Save this amount of space, right? Yeah, exactly.

00:33:12.940 --> 00:33:16.299
So I also do get the appeal. It's very cool to

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:18.420
never have to move your fingers more than one

00:33:18.420 --> 00:33:23.119
key away. That's amazing. But yeah, I'm also...

00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.539
not so into it that i for example i still use

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:30.559
the number the number row that i still have available

00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:33.700
rather than the numpad that i have mapped on

00:33:33.700 --> 00:33:36.400
a layer so most of the time i still use the the

00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.619
number row which is not ideal but yeah yeah i

00:33:40.619 --> 00:33:43.180
guess over time i get used to it yeah but i realize

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:46.759
that it's difficult because you you create a

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.279
numpad in in the keyboard but it's difficult

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:51.779
to remember where they are but if you just use

00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:55.180
the same row The number row, but you move it

00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:58.019
two layers below to the home row and you have

00:33:58.019 --> 00:34:00.160
it on a different layer. It's easy. You don't

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:03.779
have to relearn where your numbers are, right?

00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:06.839
They're just lower. They're easier to type. It

00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.659
worked. I found it in Google. I found an image.

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:11.739
I don't know the name of the layout, but I grabbed

00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:16.039
that part for my, you know, and it has been working

00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:19.199
fine. The symbols as well, but that's the thing

00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:25.110
with the corn. I do use the keys on the side,

00:34:25.449 --> 00:34:31.090
right? The outer pinky rows for escape and for

00:34:31.090 --> 00:34:34.449
shift. I have them there. So I cannot use a various

00:34:34.449 --> 00:34:38.070
because I would miss those keys a lot. I cannot.

00:34:38.550 --> 00:34:42.670
Yeah. I cannot do it without those. And you're

00:34:42.670 --> 00:34:44.949
planning on staying on that keyboard. Have you

00:34:44.949 --> 00:34:48.949
thought about other one? Let's see. I mean, I'm

00:34:48.949 --> 00:34:52.809
still quite happy with it. I got it like one

00:34:52.809 --> 00:34:54.610
and a half or two years ago. And so far, I have

00:34:54.610 --> 00:34:56.969
no regrets. And the good thing is that it is

00:34:56.969 --> 00:35:00.650
quite portable. So yeah, so far, I don't need

00:35:00.650 --> 00:35:03.510
anything else. But I'm also eager to try. Maybe

00:35:03.510 --> 00:35:06.570
at some point, some brand wants to sponsor me

00:35:06.570 --> 00:35:10.190
and send me the keyboard. Then I'm willing to

00:35:10.190 --> 00:35:14.280
try it out. But yeah, so far. Hopefully. What

00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:16.440
are your thoughts on sponsorships, by the way,

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:21.860
now that we touched on that? Yeah, sponsorships

00:35:21.860 --> 00:35:27.820
is an interesting topic. I mean, I feel like

00:35:27.820 --> 00:35:31.599
the current audience that I have, they probably

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:35.460
don't subscribe to my channel because they necessarily

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:40.559
care too much about my personal opinion on topics.

00:35:41.300 --> 00:35:44.369
I think... they want to see your content yep

00:35:44.369 --> 00:35:46.829
yeah they have been quite dry so far i haven't

00:35:46.829 --> 00:35:49.969
shared a lot of personal stuff you know so my

00:35:49.969 --> 00:35:52.130
guess is that most people probably found me through

00:35:52.130 --> 00:35:54.829
organic search they had a problem i don't know

00:35:54.829 --> 00:35:57.389
a new vim config or something like that they

00:35:57.389 --> 00:36:00.289
found a video maybe it helped them and maybe

00:36:00.289 --> 00:36:02.630
they liked the type of style that i have so they

00:36:02.630 --> 00:36:08.329
subscribed but they don't probably care too much

00:36:08.329 --> 00:36:10.619
about my opinion from me as a person because

00:36:10.619 --> 00:36:12.940
i also haven't shared much personal stuff so

00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:15.179
i find that a bit awkward like let's say you

00:36:15.179 --> 00:36:18.900
ask a stranger because at this point um me and

00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:20.760
my audience we are still strangers i like to

00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:24.579
get to know them and maybe um i will also share

00:36:24.579 --> 00:36:26.800
more about myself but let's say you ask something

00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:29.099
to a stranger and a stranger you know might help

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:32.800
you and solve your problem but imagine then the

00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:35.159
stranger is like well you know i think you should

00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:41.980
get a vpn Here's my discount code. I don't know.

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.500
That doesn't sit right with me. Maybe over time,

00:36:45.579 --> 00:36:49.039
once I have shared more personal things, the

00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:53.579
audience, they still like it. And there's more

00:36:53.579 --> 00:36:57.940
of a relationship, more long -term, more trust

00:36:57.940 --> 00:37:00.380
established and this kind of stuff. Then it's

00:37:00.380 --> 00:37:02.539
different. Then when I have a product that I've

00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:05.849
been using myself for a long time, Why not? If

00:37:05.849 --> 00:37:08.969
I actually believe it helps someone and someone

00:37:08.969 --> 00:37:12.289
would find it useful, then why not? I mean, for

00:37:12.289 --> 00:37:15.929
example, for fitness, I've been working a long

00:37:15.929 --> 00:37:19.550
time with a personal coach to work on flexibility

00:37:19.550 --> 00:37:23.369
and handstands and stuff like this. So I hired

00:37:23.369 --> 00:37:25.030
him and I've been working with him for three

00:37:25.030 --> 00:37:28.530
years. And we are both into barefoot shoes. Oh,

00:37:28.590 --> 00:37:31.610
I want to try those. I want to try them. I've

00:37:31.610 --> 00:37:34.090
watched videos. I want to try them. That's an

00:37:34.090 --> 00:37:37.210
ad that I would watch and I'd be like, oh, Hendrik,

00:37:37.409 --> 00:37:41.329
you're going to get me. It doesn't fit into my

00:37:41.329 --> 00:37:44.329
channel at all. But the point is, so we both

00:37:44.329 --> 00:37:47.090
really love this German brand for barefoot shoes.

00:37:47.690 --> 00:37:50.730
And I know he loves it. I love it. And I saw

00:37:50.730 --> 00:37:52.510
the other day that they're running a sale right

00:37:52.510 --> 00:37:56.690
now. So I sent him the link and said, well, have

00:37:56.690 --> 00:37:58.650
you seen this? And he was like, no, I haven't

00:37:58.650 --> 00:38:00.110
seen this, but I actually need a new pair right

00:38:00.110 --> 00:38:02.969
now. So he ordered one. And I didn't have any.

00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:06.719
ulterior motives or you know i didn't get any

00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:08.539
commission from that i just generally believed

00:38:08.539 --> 00:38:11.239
that he would really love that he would benefit

00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:14.360
from that maybe and so that's that's to me a

00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:16.280
different story because i know him i know what

00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:19.659
he likes i know what he what he wants and yeah

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:24.219
so in this case i feel this would be very beneficial

00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:28.219
but in terms of youtube i'm not at the point

00:38:28.219 --> 00:38:31.409
yet where this would make sense i believe you

00:38:31.409 --> 00:38:35.030
feel your audience would feel disappointed if

00:38:35.030 --> 00:38:40.170
you put ads in there yeah it would be way too

00:38:40.170 --> 00:38:42.190
early it would i think it would feel like um

00:38:42.190 --> 00:38:46.349
like a cash grab you know like i'm trying to

00:38:46.349 --> 00:38:49.250
put out a few videos and like start squeezing

00:38:49.250 --> 00:38:52.750
as much money out of it as early as possible

00:38:52.750 --> 00:38:59.070
so yeah you have only 19 videos so I do see that.

00:38:59.150 --> 00:39:02.289
But if the ad is related to your content, let's

00:39:02.289 --> 00:39:04.929
say that it's a tool that you trust in. For example,

00:39:05.090 --> 00:39:09.150
I offer two tools in my videos, which I use.

00:39:09.489 --> 00:39:12.130
1Password is the password manager that I use.

00:39:12.349 --> 00:39:16.170
They never reach out. I wish they would reach

00:39:16.170 --> 00:39:18.650
out because it's a tool that I believe in. I

00:39:18.650 --> 00:39:23.210
had to create like a code, right? You go into

00:39:23.210 --> 00:39:25.650
a website, you create a code. So if people subscribe

00:39:25.650 --> 00:39:28.900
to that link. You get a commission in theory.

00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:32.380
No one has done that, you know, but it's a tool

00:39:32.380 --> 00:39:34.239
that I believe in. I wish they would sponsor

00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:36.539
me because it's something that I use every day.

00:39:36.659 --> 00:39:40.500
Another one that I use is that app, you know,

00:39:40.500 --> 00:39:43.400
which is like a Netflix of apps on Mac OS. So

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:47.559
I install apps that I through set up and I use

00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:49.880
it. You know, I generally use it. I've been using

00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:54.130
it for. I have videos about it. I recommend it

00:39:54.130 --> 00:39:58.130
as well, but they haven't reached out. So I guess

00:39:58.130 --> 00:40:01.190
if it's something that you believe in, it's fine.

00:40:01.309 --> 00:40:03.849
I don't care what the audience thinks too much

00:40:03.849 --> 00:40:06.010
as well in that regard, because my main goal

00:40:06.010 --> 00:40:09.130
is to make money out of this to support my family.

00:40:09.510 --> 00:40:12.849
Eligere these nuts. Eligere means pick. You know,

00:40:12.869 --> 00:40:15.889
that's the tool that Roman created. It's a what

00:40:15.889 --> 00:40:20.079
is that, Roman? It's like a. tool that allows

00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:22.059
you to switch to different browsers i have a

00:40:22.059 --> 00:40:25.719
video about that as well but yeah if it's a tool

00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:28.900
that i believe in i'll make a video i'll like

00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:32.079
there's a trickster app on mac os the guy reached

00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:34.840
out afterwards because he saw my video because

00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:37.699
i believed in that application i use it so even

00:40:37.699 --> 00:40:40.840
if i have no money from recommending apps i'll

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.400
do it but if a sponsor reaches out you know like

00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.420
notion and it's this conversation that we're

00:40:47.420 --> 00:40:49.550
having right now It's going to be like two hours,

00:40:49.809 --> 00:40:52.989
right? I don't mind putting a notion ad in between.

00:40:53.090 --> 00:40:55.809
It's like, whatever. The viewer is still going

00:40:55.809 --> 00:40:57.809
to get the content, right? They're going to get

00:40:57.809 --> 00:40:59.809
the interview. They're going to watch a small

00:40:59.809 --> 00:41:02.789
ad. I'm going to make some money out of it. Win

00:41:02.789 --> 00:41:07.630
-win, right? That's what I think. But yeah, people

00:41:07.630 --> 00:41:11.610
tend to be sensible with that type of thing because

00:41:11.610 --> 00:41:13.929
then they start calling you a sellout and all

00:41:13.929 --> 00:41:18.139
that stuff, right? No, I totally get it. Definitely.

00:41:18.420 --> 00:41:21.039
Also, you've been in the game for a little bit

00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:24.679
longer and you've made much more videos and you've

00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:28.239
built a lot more trust in the relationship with

00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:31.739
your audience, much more than I have. So I guess

00:41:31.739 --> 00:41:35.119
it's different at that point already. It's been

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:38.320
only like over a year, close to two years right

00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:40.940
now. Not too long enough, but I have created

00:41:40.940 --> 00:41:44.670
a lot of videos. Spammed YouTube, basically,

00:41:44.849 --> 00:41:48.630
you know. So we'll see what they say. I'll let

00:41:48.630 --> 00:41:51.590
you know. But so far in the setup videos, no

00:41:51.590 --> 00:41:53.789
one has said anything. When I recommend 1Password,

00:41:53.949 --> 00:41:58.909
no one has said anything. So, you know, I don't

00:41:58.909 --> 00:42:00.690
know if I would recommend something that I don't

00:42:00.690 --> 00:42:03.690
believe in, even for the money. No. Like Brilliant,

00:42:03.989 --> 00:42:06.090
I would do because it's a platform that looks

00:42:06.090 --> 00:42:08.550
interesting. But don't go to Brilliant. They

00:42:08.550 --> 00:42:11.139
have to pay me before you go there. before you

00:42:11.139 --> 00:42:16.460
go there. So no, this video, no, brilliant. I'm

00:42:16.460 --> 00:42:17.719
not going to say their name because they had

00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:22.500
to give me money. But if it's something that

00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:26.539
goes against my beliefs, I'm a vegetarian. I

00:42:26.539 --> 00:42:28.559
don't eat meat. So if a meat company comes to

00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:31.780
me and says, hey, I'm not going to do it because

00:42:31.780 --> 00:42:35.400
it goes against my beliefs, you know. So it has

00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:38.719
to be aligned. And I'll, you know, Notion, I

00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:41.300
have never used Notion. I'm not planning on using

00:42:41.300 --> 00:42:43.500
Notion, but if they reach out, it's like, whatever.

00:42:43.900 --> 00:42:48.079
I'll put a Notion ad. So it's complicated, I

00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:51.900
guess. Cool. I'm also a vegetarian, so we can

00:42:51.900 --> 00:42:56.739
bond over that. Oh, you are? Yeah. And how has

00:42:56.739 --> 00:43:01.780
that been? When did that happen? You know, as

00:43:01.780 --> 00:43:04.599
all good things, they... Careful, because in

00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:06.780
the comments, the crazy guys are going to come.

00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:11.760
Yeah. no my my fiance started that as well oh

00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:15.739
and mine too so when we it's always like this

00:43:15.739 --> 00:43:18.639
so when we were dating initially 11 years ago

00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:23.820
um she didn't mind me uh eating meat or anything

00:43:23.820 --> 00:43:25.699
like she had nothing against that and i still

00:43:25.699 --> 00:43:28.760
don't have anything um against that uh people

00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:32.340
should do what they what they believe in but

00:43:32.340 --> 00:43:36.050
so initially i started preparing meat on the

00:43:36.050 --> 00:43:38.710
side so we would make a vegetarian meal so that

00:43:38.710 --> 00:43:41.590
she can also eat and then i would make some meat

00:43:41.590 --> 00:43:43.730
in addition to that but you know we were students

00:43:43.730 --> 00:43:46.590
didn't have a lot of money and also we didn't

00:43:46.590 --> 00:43:51.789
have a lot of time to to make like these extravagant

00:43:51.789 --> 00:43:55.110
meals all the time so i started just eating vegetarian

00:43:55.110 --> 00:43:58.469
and for convenience i just stuck to it and i

00:43:58.469 --> 00:44:00.329
didn't even notice how i was being converted

00:44:00.329 --> 00:44:05.559
so oh yeah And kind of the philosophy behind

00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:10.059
that came a little bit later. Oh, and how long

00:44:10.059 --> 00:44:13.300
have you been a vegetarian? Yeah, around that

00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:16.340
time, like 11 years, more or less. Oh, really?

00:44:17.019 --> 00:44:20.900
How long? Yeah, me, my daughter is eight right

00:44:20.900 --> 00:44:27.719
now. Nine, 10. And 11 years, approximately. Around

00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:31.500
10, 11, right? Because my daughter was born as

00:44:31.500 --> 00:44:35.019
a vegetarian. She's eight. One month of pregnancy

00:44:35.019 --> 00:44:40.239
and a little bit over 10 years vegetarian right

00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.960
now. But I live in a third world country and

00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:46.800
it's really tough here, man, because I don't

00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:49.800
live in the city. I live like three hours away

00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:53.719
from the city. There's not even one, a single

00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:57.639
vegetarian restaurant. Let's not even say vegan,

00:44:57.780 --> 00:45:00.360
right? Because no one has an idea. Impossible.

00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:04.980
Yeah. Every single restaurant here, they don't

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:07.679
have any vegetarian options at all. Not even

00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:10.699
one. Not on the supermarket. So it's really tough

00:45:10.699 --> 00:45:13.179
living in a country like this and being vegetarian.

00:45:13.579 --> 00:45:16.920
You're in Spain. That's way more advanced. And

00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:18.659
I guess you have a lot of vegetarian options

00:45:18.659 --> 00:45:23.059
there, right? Man, Barcelona, it's like so easy,

00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:28.599
to be honest. I have seven or eight vegan restaurants

00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:32.489
at a walking distance. So like this, it's so

00:45:32.489 --> 00:45:35.409
easy, honestly. It's different if you're in the

00:45:35.409 --> 00:45:37.809
countryside in Spain, obviously, but in the big

00:45:37.809 --> 00:45:41.170
cities, it's very easy. There's a small town

00:45:41.170 --> 00:45:43.530
here in Guatemala. It's by the lake. There's

00:45:43.530 --> 00:45:47.510
a lake. There's a town. It's called San Marcos

00:45:47.510 --> 00:45:50.630
La Laguna because it's around the lake. It's

00:45:50.630 --> 00:45:54.250
just tourists there, people from all around the

00:45:54.250 --> 00:45:59.699
world. And they do have a lot of vegetarian options.

00:45:59.920 --> 00:46:02.199
So when we go there with my wife and daughter,

00:46:02.340 --> 00:46:05.119
it's like heaven. We can go and eat anywhere

00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:08.579
and we don't have to be talking to the waiters

00:46:08.579 --> 00:46:11.739
and giving them instructions. Hey, I want this,

00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:13.920
but make sure that it does not include this.

00:46:14.059 --> 00:46:17.639
When we go there, it's pretty cool. Everywhere

00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:22.079
else, it's a challenge. But my wife is the one

00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:26.340
that feeds us. She is the one that cooks. So,

00:46:26.340 --> 00:46:30.059
man, that's such a great help because I couldn't

00:46:30.059 --> 00:46:37.800
do it without her at all. Now, let's move on

00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:43.199
to technical related stuff. How did it feel when

00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:47.780
you first tried HJKL? Like, did you get used

00:46:47.780 --> 00:46:50.460
to it fast or did you give it a couple of tries?

00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.059
H and L are kind of... easy because they're like

00:46:55.059 --> 00:46:58.420
on the extremes yep but i always confused j and

00:46:58.420 --> 00:47:01.340
k for a very long time that didn't feel natural

00:47:01.340 --> 00:47:06.440
at all but now it's you know i actually on my

00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:09.739
keyboard i have a layer where i mapped hjkl to

00:47:09.739 --> 00:47:14.119
the arrow keys so i can use the yeah someone

00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:16.960
is still confusing yeah i don't know what they

00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:19.519
are if you ask me which one is j and which one

00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:22.659
is k i don't know i have no idea i just press

00:47:22.659 --> 00:47:26.639
them And I know that it's going to go up or down,

00:47:26.739 --> 00:47:29.579
but I don't know which one is which. Right, right.

00:47:29.739 --> 00:47:32.019
Yeah, I have the same. It's like just second

00:47:32.019 --> 00:47:35.480
nature, no look even. Yeah. You mentioned that

00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:40.079
you had mapped something somewhere, right? Yeah,

00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:42.460
like I have a layer on my keyboard where I mapped

00:47:42.460 --> 00:47:47.260
HJKL to the arrow keys. So I can, because some

00:47:47.260 --> 00:47:49.940
programs, they don't work with Vim motions and

00:47:49.940 --> 00:47:52.219
you need to use the arrow keys. So this way I

00:47:52.219 --> 00:47:55.380
can still use Vim -like navigation everywhere

00:47:55.380 --> 00:47:58.239
pretty much. Yeah, I also have a layer. So if

00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:01.579
I leave caps lock pressed and I press H -A -K

00:48:01.579 --> 00:48:06.019
-L, I have my arrows there because, yeah, I don't

00:48:06.019 --> 00:48:09.460
like using arrows. And all of your videos are

00:48:09.460 --> 00:48:14.119
NeoVim related. Is that correct? Not all of them.

00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:16.400
I also have like Mac terminals set up. Oh, no,

00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:19.739
but I mean Vim, NeoVim or Vim. Like all of them

00:48:19.739 --> 00:48:24.519
are NeoVim, right? I think, yes. So I usually

00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:30.440
show NeoVim, but a lot of stuff is more applicable

00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:34.659
to both, let's say. So I don't have a lot of

00:48:34.659 --> 00:48:36.599
videos where I talk about the config and plugins.

00:48:37.139 --> 00:48:40.440
I mostly talk about the motions and tricks and

00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:43.019
tips and stuff like this, aside from the big

00:48:43.019 --> 00:48:45.300
video where it's all about setting up NeoVim.

00:48:46.579 --> 00:48:50.219
And why did you decide to go with NeoVim and

00:48:50.219 --> 00:48:55.710
not Vim? Yeah, so after VS Code and trying it

00:48:55.710 --> 00:48:59.730
out in VS Code, I kind of, when I felt comfortable

00:48:59.730 --> 00:49:01.929
with the Vim motions, I kind of wanted to embrace

00:49:01.929 --> 00:49:06.409
it. And, you know, the Primogen, he kind of sold

00:49:06.409 --> 00:49:09.050
me on this idea of staying in the terminal the

00:49:09.050 --> 00:49:13.110
whole time. To all of us. And everyone in the

00:49:13.110 --> 00:49:16.690
audience as well, I think. Yeah, it just looks

00:49:16.690 --> 00:49:19.869
so cool. So I actually then went with not NeoVim,

00:49:19.929 --> 00:49:23.519
but regular VanillaVim. And I tried configuring

00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:27.679
that because I felt like, okay, why NeoVim? Vim

00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:32.139
has been around for such a long time. I didn't

00:49:32.139 --> 00:49:35.880
see the point of NeoVim initially. So I tried

00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:38.920
setting up just vanilla Vim, also with plugins.

00:49:39.380 --> 00:49:43.139
And I don't know, the syntax of VimScript, it

00:49:43.139 --> 00:49:47.860
didn't click for me. It's so weird. And every

00:49:47.860 --> 00:49:51.860
time I started to look up something... some kind

00:49:51.860 --> 00:49:55.079
of configuration, I came across way more content

00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:59.199
and blog posts and videos on NeoVim than on regular

00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.840
Vim. And the one person that really inspired

00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:08.260
me to go down the NeoVim route was Death As Code.

00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:11.619
You know the channel? Oh, the Japanese guy, I

00:50:11.619 --> 00:50:16.940
think. Yeah. I think now these days he talks

00:50:16.940 --> 00:50:20.159
sometimes. But he just types, right? exactly

00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:23.360
like he's this ASMR kind of videos where he just

00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:26.860
goes to the coffee shop and I just love it to

00:50:26.860 --> 00:50:31.900
me he's a true craftsman and the videos are awesome

00:50:31.900 --> 00:50:35.000
he just goes to a coffee shop with a keyboard

00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:39.179
and a macbook sits down and spends like the next

00:50:39.179 --> 00:50:42.260
two hours in the terminal and everything looks

00:50:42.260 --> 00:50:45.380
super sleek and beautiful and you just hear him

00:50:45.380 --> 00:50:49.280
type away this one right? yeah exactly and then

00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:51.800
at the end of the video he has a beautiful app

00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:54.380
or something ready and he was the whole time

00:50:54.380 --> 00:50:58.760
he spent in the terminal so this is for me a

00:50:58.760 --> 00:51:01.639
very good example of someone who is honing the

00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:07.320
craft of programming zoning in and building something

00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:11.260
beautiful with it and i wanted to have something

00:51:11.260 --> 00:51:14.239
like him a workflow that looks that looks like

00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:17.059
this And so initially I also went with his color

00:51:17.059 --> 00:51:20.059
theme and he didn't have a video, I believe,

00:51:20.139 --> 00:51:23.440
where he showed his full setup, but he had a

00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:27.820
GitHub with his config. And yeah, I didn't fully

00:51:27.820 --> 00:51:29.539
get it, to be honest. So I ran down this rabbit

00:51:29.539 --> 00:51:32.460
hole. I copied what I could from his config and

00:51:32.460 --> 00:51:34.579
then I did more research on the stuff that I

00:51:34.579 --> 00:51:38.019
didn't get to work. And yeah, slowly created

00:51:38.019 --> 00:51:40.699
my own thing. Now you touched on a good point

00:51:40.699 --> 00:51:44.340
there. It happened to all of us. I'm not a genius.

00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:48.300
And man, it was freaking tough. And it was a

00:51:48.300 --> 00:51:52.360
pain in the ass. We get started with new vim

00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:55.400
and set it up the way that I want it. You know,

00:51:55.420 --> 00:51:59.179
because I started with lazy vim, lazy vim distro.

00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:02.079
So there's a layer that you have to go through

00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:05.380
to make every change that you want. You know,

00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:09.340
as small as it seems, man, you end up in the

00:52:09.340 --> 00:52:13.219
lazy kid. github repo searching for stuff in

00:52:13.219 --> 00:52:16.059
the discussions page in the issues page google

00:52:16.059 --> 00:52:20.940
ai it was really difficult for me to get used

00:52:20.940 --> 00:52:24.420
to you know configuring new vim i know my way

00:52:24.420 --> 00:52:28.000
around now by trial and error i didn't read the

00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:30.920
manual like everyone recommends maybe i should

00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:33.980
have dedicated like a month to read the whole

00:52:33.980 --> 00:52:35.760
thing but i was not gonna do that i don't like

00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:38.690
reading the manual It's weird. Sometimes I do,

00:52:38.750 --> 00:52:41.469
sometimes I don't. But NewVim's manual was too

00:52:41.469 --> 00:52:44.110
long, too complicated. And I was like, no, let's

00:52:44.110 --> 00:52:47.090
just dock it and let's just figure it out that

00:52:47.090 --> 00:52:50.630
way. But it was really difficult. And I went

00:52:50.630 --> 00:52:53.929
into this rabbit hole and it took me months,

00:52:53.929 --> 00:52:57.110
you know, to get it to a place that I liked.

00:52:57.389 --> 00:53:02.630
How was that for you? I also tried LazyVim, AstroVim

00:53:02.630 --> 00:53:08.570
and NVChat. And I had the same experience. So

00:53:08.570 --> 00:53:11.630
first it was super useful to, especially AstroVim,

00:53:11.690 --> 00:53:14.190
that was the first distro that a little bit clicked

00:53:14.190 --> 00:53:17.289
for me and that I wanted to give a try more long

00:53:17.289 --> 00:53:20.070
-term. It really helped me to learn some of the

00:53:20.070 --> 00:53:23.789
sensible shortcuts because everything is already

00:53:23.789 --> 00:53:27.090
set up, right? And most of these shortcuts and

00:53:27.090 --> 00:53:29.949
keybinds, they actually make sense. So I still

00:53:29.949 --> 00:53:32.349
kept a lot of them. So that's very good for learning.

00:53:33.340 --> 00:53:36.000
But I found myself in the same kind of situation.

00:53:36.300 --> 00:53:39.059
Every time I wanted to make a change, then instead

00:53:39.059 --> 00:53:43.599
of having to find out how it works for NeoVim

00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:46.480
in general, you need to find out how it works

00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:50.119
specifically in AstroVim or LazyVim. And the

00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:51.940
amount of resources that are available is just

00:53:51.940 --> 00:53:55.300
much less because the user base of LazyVim is

00:53:55.300 --> 00:54:01.280
much smaller than NeoVim in total. And I also,

00:54:01.320 --> 00:54:03.940
I didn't find myself, at least in my personal

00:54:03.940 --> 00:54:07.300
situation, I didn't find myself saving a lot

00:54:07.300 --> 00:54:09.760
of time by switching to a distro because at the

00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:11.639
end of the day, I still want to make some minor

00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:16.099
tweaks. I still need my personal LSPs and formatters

00:54:16.099 --> 00:54:18.139
and linters and all that stuff that I need for

00:54:18.139 --> 00:54:22.099
my workflow. But now I need to, on top of learning

00:54:22.099 --> 00:54:26.719
NeoVim, I also need to learn this distro. So,

00:54:26.780 --> 00:54:29.360
I mean, I get the appeal, especially from the

00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:33.099
stability aspect. But personally, I didn't end

00:54:33.099 --> 00:54:35.739
up saving a lot of time with it. So these days

00:54:35.739 --> 00:54:38.960
I prefer to have my own config. And once it is

00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:41.559
established, you also don't need to touch it

00:54:41.559 --> 00:54:43.619
a lot. I just make incremental tweaks here and

00:54:43.619 --> 00:54:46.159
there at this point. And yeah, it doesn't cost

00:54:46.159 --> 00:54:48.960
me a lot of time. Yeah. Like you said, I think

00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:52.420
distros are pretty good to see what's out there.

00:54:53.659 --> 00:54:56.780
I have learned so much from the LazyFM distro

00:54:56.780 --> 00:54:59.059
that I know what I would like to have in my own

00:54:59.059 --> 00:55:02.599
config and what I don't want to have. Because

00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:05.440
it has thousands of key maps, right? I don't

00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:07.980
use all of them, right? But I know the ones that

00:55:07.980 --> 00:55:12.659
I use and it helps to grab inspiration. I haven't

00:55:12.659 --> 00:55:15.760
taken the step yet to go with my Kickstart config

00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:19.139
from scratch, you know? I will eventually, but

00:55:19.139 --> 00:55:21.079
I know that it's going to take time and I just

00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:22.900
don't want to invest it because it's working

00:55:22.900 --> 00:55:25.920
at the time for me. And I'm like, whatever. What

00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:27.960
do you use as a base? Kickstart then. That's

00:55:27.960 --> 00:55:31.300
your base for your config. Okay. How easy it

00:55:31.300 --> 00:55:33.980
is like to set up LSP and all that stuff. Is

00:55:33.980 --> 00:55:37.820
it simple? Did you find it complicated? Well,

00:55:37.860 --> 00:55:39.460
the good thing is it is already set up pretty

00:55:39.460 --> 00:55:43.119
much. So you can still customize it and bring

00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:45.360
your own plugins and stuff like this. But the

00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:47.500
hard part that is pretty much the same in all

00:55:47.500 --> 00:55:51.420
distros, like we all have LSP, right? Most sane

00:55:51.420 --> 00:55:54.719
NeoVim users have LSP. And the setup is not that

00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:57.719
different. There's no unique LSP configuration.

00:55:58.059 --> 00:56:00.460
I mean, the server configuration, the specific

00:56:00.460 --> 00:56:03.320
ones might differ. But overall, it's the same

00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:07.340
Mason and Vim LSP config, the same kind of plugins.

00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:11.619
And I would rather have someone figure this out

00:56:11.619 --> 00:56:15.179
for me than figuring... this kind of more low

00:56:15.179 --> 00:56:18.119
level stuff out all by myself and yeah i find

00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:21.000
kickstart really strikes a great balance there

00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:25.460
okay awesome so someone's starting would you

00:56:25.460 --> 00:56:29.079
recommend then distro or no distro what would

00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:33.460
you say to them i would say try both uh probably

00:56:33.460 --> 00:56:36.639
go with kickstart to build your own config but

00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:40.960
try lazy vim or something like that at the beginning

00:56:40.960 --> 00:56:43.750
just to see what is out there like see all the

00:56:43.750 --> 00:56:47.849
possibilities that modern NeoVim config can offer.

00:56:48.170 --> 00:56:50.389
And then you will probably find that it's too

00:56:50.389 --> 00:56:52.590
much. And at that point, come to Kickstart and

00:56:52.590 --> 00:56:56.429
build on top of that. Okay, okay. Do you think

00:56:56.429 --> 00:57:01.150
that there's a point where dealing with all these,

00:57:01.190 --> 00:57:03.570
you know, configurations, NeoVim, because it

00:57:03.570 --> 00:57:06.889
takes a lot of your time, you know, do you think

00:57:06.889 --> 00:57:12.389
it becomes overkill at some point? Hmm. That's

00:57:12.389 --> 00:57:16.570
a great question. I do have maybe a bit of a

00:57:16.570 --> 00:57:23.369
hot take on this. I believe that you shouldn't

00:57:23.369 --> 00:57:30.389
overinvest time in learning NeoVim. But if you

00:57:30.389 --> 00:57:32.550
care about programming or DevOps or whatever

00:57:32.550 --> 00:57:34.269
it is that you're doing, I think you're networking,

00:57:34.369 --> 00:57:38.070
right? Networking and infrastructure related.

00:57:38.349 --> 00:57:41.570
Yeah, more on that side. So if you care about

00:57:41.570 --> 00:57:43.309
whatever it is that you're doing on a computer

00:57:43.309 --> 00:57:46.230
that is technical, if you care about that as

00:57:46.230 --> 00:57:50.070
a craft, then definitely overspend and overinvest

00:57:50.070 --> 00:57:54.230
the time in NeoVim. And it might sound a little

00:57:54.230 --> 00:58:00.630
bit contradictory, but I can explain. So I believe

00:58:00.630 --> 00:58:06.070
that in the West, and especially in the United

00:58:06.070 --> 00:58:09.610
States, we have this kind of min -maxing mentality.

00:58:10.329 --> 00:58:14.949
where we try to get the most output out of something

00:58:14.949 --> 00:58:21.530
with the minimum amount of effort. And this works.

00:58:21.730 --> 00:58:23.429
And I think if you're chasing quick wins, that's

00:58:23.429 --> 00:58:28.269
fine. But it's also the enemy of any true mastery

00:58:28.269 --> 00:58:34.090
in a subject. And if I'm spending the next 30

00:58:34.090 --> 00:58:37.510
years of my life in this field and working with

00:58:37.510 --> 00:58:39.940
a computer, I want to make sure that I learn

00:58:39.940 --> 00:58:42.800
the tools and I want to make sure that I learn

00:58:42.800 --> 00:58:47.599
how to use it properly. You know, like a carpenter

00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:49.940
who learns a chisel and all these tools, you

00:58:49.940 --> 00:58:54.300
know? Basically, like a true craftsman, I want

00:58:54.300 --> 00:58:57.079
to make sure that I use a computer. And this

00:58:57.079 --> 00:58:59.460
kind of mastery mentality is not about chasing

00:58:59.460 --> 00:59:02.639
quick wins. It's just about doing it for its

00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.920
own sake and wanting to do it properly for its

00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:08.440
own sake without any... You know, NeoVim is not

00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:10.219
going to give you a better job instantly or make

00:59:10.219 --> 00:59:12.500
you a 10x developer. I think there's probably

00:59:12.500 --> 00:59:15.159
like a correlation, but not a causal relationship.

00:59:15.420 --> 00:59:17.780
You can learn NeoVim and suck at coding, you

00:59:17.780 --> 00:59:24.199
know? But yeah, if you care about programming

00:59:24.199 --> 00:59:27.199
or whatever it is as a craft, then I believe

00:59:27.199 --> 00:59:29.760
it's definitely worth investing a lot of time

00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:33.480
into it. I see this also in other fields, like

00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:35.929
in fitness, for example. especially in fitness

00:59:35.929 --> 00:59:39.650
people chase this what's the diet or what's the

00:59:39.650 --> 00:59:41.710
routine that I can do to lose weight for the

00:59:41.710 --> 00:59:43.670
next summer you know what's the pill that I need

00:59:43.670 --> 00:59:47.449
to take or now with vibe coding like how can

00:59:47.449 --> 00:59:49.750
I build this amazing SaaS product without even

00:59:49.750 --> 00:59:54.670
knowing what a client or server is and I don't

00:59:54.670 --> 00:59:56.849
know I mean this is fine but at the end of the

00:59:56.849 --> 01:00:00.829
day I want to live a good and fulfilling life

01:00:00.829 --> 01:00:06.909
and I believe that involves not just caring about

01:00:06.909 --> 01:00:11.389
outcomes, you also need to care about the process

01:00:11.389 --> 01:00:16.030
and respecting the craft. I don't know, that

01:00:16.030 --> 01:00:19.769
sounds maybe a bit philosophical at this point,

01:00:19.849 --> 01:00:25.610
but yeah, so I think if this resonates and if

01:00:25.610 --> 01:00:30.429
people also believe that programming is a craft,

01:00:31.150 --> 01:00:34.469
then I definitely believe spend a lot of time

01:00:34.469 --> 01:00:40.949
on Neovim and own the craft to really master

01:00:40.949 --> 01:00:48.909
computers. I agree. And that's why I haven't

01:00:48.909 --> 01:00:51.690
installed one of these new tools out there like

01:00:51.690 --> 01:00:56.130
cursor and all of those tools that basically

01:00:56.130 --> 01:00:59.880
create an application. from scratch. You don't

01:00:59.880 --> 01:01:01.900
know what the hell is going on. You just know

01:01:01.900 --> 01:01:05.900
that it works. I like, you know, taking stuff.

01:01:06.360 --> 01:01:09.840
I like watching a course. When I was doing networking

01:01:09.840 --> 01:01:12.619
a lot, I watched thousands of courses, thousands

01:01:12.619 --> 01:01:17.260
of videos, and I learned it. And now I can implement

01:01:17.260 --> 01:01:20.880
it, you know, same with Linux, let's say, right?

01:01:21.340 --> 01:01:24.139
I just like knowing what I'm doing and then be

01:01:24.139 --> 01:01:26.019
able to do it. Yeah, I go and look at my notes.

01:01:26.079 --> 01:01:29.760
I use AI as a tool when I, you know, when I need

01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:36.079
to do it. But yeah, I like learning stuff in

01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:38.480
depth. That's why I haven't taken programming

01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:42.599
seriously. Because I don't want to do it in a

01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:45.460
month. If I'm going to commit to it, it's going

01:01:45.460 --> 01:01:48.420
to take me years. And I don't want to get started.

01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:51.420
It's like, man. I have a lot of stuff going on

01:01:51.420 --> 01:01:54.239
right now. You know, the channel. This channel

01:01:54.239 --> 01:01:58.900
takes most of my time. My day job, all that stuff.

01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:02.719
I'm learning other things. Zoom scrolling, you

01:02:02.719 --> 01:02:04.840
know, because social media is a big part now.

01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:08.519
And I hate it, but it is, you know. But yeah,

01:02:08.519 --> 01:02:13.639
I like learning stuff in depth as well. I just

01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:20.219
don't want to reach the surface. And yeah. imposter

01:02:20.219 --> 01:02:24.460
syndrome that's that's tough man that's tough

01:02:24.460 --> 01:02:27.420
even in the stuff that i know like networking

01:02:27.420 --> 01:02:33.940
i feel like an imposter i don't know i just don't

01:02:33.940 --> 01:02:36.719
feel enough have you ever experienced that you

01:02:36.719 --> 01:02:40.820
ever experienced it like maybe i don't know too

01:02:40.820 --> 01:02:43.900
much because at the beginning i remember i thought

01:02:43.900 --> 01:02:47.840
man i got a certification first CCNA is a Cisco

01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:50.719
certification. And I was like, damn, I'm the

01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:53.960
king. I know it all. But then I realized that

01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:57.320
I didn't know shit. I know nothing. I didn't

01:02:57.320 --> 01:02:59.460
know about Linux. I didn't know about cloud.

01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:02.380
I didn't know about programming, scripting, nothing.

01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:06.659
I was like, man, I know nothing. And it was like,

01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:11.199
and it has been like that ever since. Then you

01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:13.539
see other people and you're like, man, those

01:03:13.539 --> 01:03:17.860
guys are geniuses, right? Am I an imposter? Have

01:03:17.860 --> 01:03:22.539
you ever felt that? Definitely, yeah. I think

01:03:22.539 --> 01:03:26.519
it's very typical in tech because it's such a

01:03:26.519 --> 01:03:31.099
broad field. It's moving so fast. Yeah, you know

01:03:31.099 --> 01:03:35.860
the Dunning -Kruger effect? The what? The Dunning

01:03:35.860 --> 01:03:38.559
-Kruger effect. I think I have seen it. Is it

01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:42.880
the one that Prime shows in his videos? I don't

01:03:42.880 --> 01:03:47.619
know. I've heard it, I think. It basically says

01:03:47.619 --> 01:03:50.500
that the less you know about the subject, the

01:03:50.500 --> 01:03:53.300
more confident you feel initially. You learned

01:03:53.300 --> 01:03:56.880
two points about any subject and then you feel

01:03:56.880 --> 01:03:59.380
massively confident that you know everything.

01:03:59.860 --> 01:04:03.139
But then when you learn a little bit more, then

01:04:03.139 --> 01:04:05.780
you realize that you don't know anything about

01:04:05.780 --> 01:04:09.380
the subject. And then slowly over time, over

01:04:09.380 --> 01:04:12.480
a long process, they call it the slope of enlightenment

01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:16.409
in this theory. Oh, this one. Hold on. You actually

01:04:16.409 --> 01:04:22.849
start developing mastery. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

01:04:23.010 --> 01:04:25.570
At the beginning of the peak of ignorance. Yeah.

01:04:27.150 --> 01:04:31.969
Yeah. So, yeah, I think I've been here learning.

01:04:32.070 --> 01:04:34.409
And the more you see other people, the more you

01:04:34.409 --> 01:04:37.329
realize that the less, you know, and it's like,

01:04:37.349 --> 01:04:45.719
man, so what? It's. Yeah. Yeah, I have it a lot,

01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:49.780
especially in data science, because a lot of

01:04:49.780 --> 01:04:52.119
people in the field and coworkers and stuff,

01:04:52.159 --> 01:04:55.099
they have PhDs in astrophysics and quantitative

01:04:55.099 --> 01:04:58.699
fields, you know, and they're very deep into

01:04:58.699 --> 01:05:03.380
the math of it. And I'm not that. And that's

01:05:03.380 --> 01:05:06.380
also part of the reason why I feel much more

01:05:06.380 --> 01:05:08.699
home in these infrastructure topics. That's why

01:05:08.699 --> 01:05:12.340
I'm in MLOps ultimately. I find this is much

01:05:12.340 --> 01:05:15.619
more natural for me to learn and pick up. And

01:05:15.619 --> 01:05:19.440
yeah, but definitely imposter syndrome is a big

01:05:19.440 --> 01:05:21.139
thing because also you can't know everything.

01:05:21.380 --> 01:05:25.679
I mean, you can't be this math genius in machine

01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:28.739
learning models and at the same time be a top

01:05:28.739 --> 01:05:31.280
-notch engineer and then also be very good at

01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:34.019
communicating and all this stuff that's required

01:05:34.019 --> 01:05:38.500
for the job, you know? Like everybody has, I

01:05:38.500 --> 01:05:41.920
wouldn't want to say deficiencies, You can't

01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:44.639
know it all unless you have 20 years of experience,

01:05:44.880 --> 01:05:48.139
maybe. Yeah, that's the thing, experience. I

01:05:48.139 --> 01:05:50.480
also started really late in life. You know, I

01:05:50.480 --> 01:05:53.320
started, you know, with this IT related stuff,

01:05:53.539 --> 01:05:56.679
you know, like 2018. I always liked computers,

01:05:56.860 --> 01:05:58.920
you know, but I started really late in life.

01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:01.960
There's people that start at the age of seven,

01:06:02.099 --> 01:06:04.860
eight, ten, and they continue their whole life.

01:06:04.940 --> 01:06:07.880
And they study that. I didn't finish college

01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:10.260
when I was younger because I just did. I just

01:06:10.260 --> 01:06:14.079
drank and I just did crazy stuff. I just wasted

01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:17.380
a lot of time. So I'm starting right now, 38

01:06:17.380 --> 01:06:24.320
years old. So I guess comparing is a bad part

01:06:24.320 --> 01:06:28.159
of it. You know, we all have to be in our own

01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:31.480
journey at our own pace. I cannot compare myself

01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:35.260
to Primogen or TJ. Man, those guys are really

01:06:35.260 --> 01:06:38.039
smart and they have been doing this for a long

01:06:38.039 --> 01:06:42.119
time. so that affects as well comparing ourselves

01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:46.159
to others and that that's a bad thing i guess

01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:50.239
i think it's also good to be a multi -dimensional

01:06:50.239 --> 01:06:53.099
person and have experience in different fields

01:06:53.099 --> 01:06:58.960
you know the concept of a t -shaped person nope

01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:03.659
i don't i think it was was it steve jobs who

01:07:03.659 --> 01:07:06.659
came up with this or At least he was a T -shaped

01:07:06.659 --> 01:07:09.940
person. So the idea is that T -shape is because

01:07:09.940 --> 01:07:12.940
you have knowledge in a variety of topics. And

01:07:12.940 --> 01:07:16.119
Steve Jobs was also known for, I think he did,

01:07:16.159 --> 01:07:18.760
what was it, calligraphy or something? He was

01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:24.679
in some kind of artsy subject. But then there's

01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:27.559
one area where you go deep. So in your case,

01:07:27.719 --> 01:07:30.340
you did different things and then you went deep

01:07:30.340 --> 01:07:33.619
into computers. And I think that's beautiful.

01:07:34.940 --> 01:07:36.860
you're only in one area for all your life and

01:07:36.860 --> 01:07:39.440
you never look outside of that then the risk

01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:42.900
is that you become a very one -dimensional person

01:07:42.900 --> 01:07:44.760
who can only talk about one subject and nothing

01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:49.420
else you know yeah that's a good point Most of

01:07:49.420 --> 01:07:53.179
my stuff is IT related. Now I do video. I didn't

01:07:53.179 --> 01:07:55.280
know anything about video. I like learning about

01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:57.320
all this stuff, YouTube and all that. So that

01:07:57.320 --> 01:07:59.780
has taught me a lot as well. But most of my stuff

01:07:59.780 --> 01:08:03.340
is IT related. My wife is really history related

01:08:03.340 --> 01:08:06.400
and philosophy related. I need to read more,

01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:08.880
basically, because she reads books. I don't read

01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:13.340
books. I read documentation. That's my literature.

01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:18.750
But yeah. i i yeah that that's a good point and

01:08:18.750 --> 01:08:24.329
um yeah okay now how has it been living in um

01:08:24.329 --> 01:08:29.430
in other country that is not your country like

01:08:29.430 --> 01:08:34.010
how do you feel yeah it's always a bit weird

01:08:34.010 --> 01:08:38.810
you know because uh initially i didn't speak

01:08:38.810 --> 01:08:40.590
the language actually in the netherlands i never

01:08:40.590 --> 01:08:42.369
really properly learned the language even though

01:08:42.369 --> 01:08:45.890
it's close to german but their level of english

01:08:45.890 --> 01:08:48.409
is so high in the netherlands that oh that you

01:08:48.409 --> 01:08:52.590
didn't feel a difference yeah like even like

01:08:52.590 --> 01:08:54.970
random people the cashier at the supermarket

01:08:54.970 --> 01:08:57.149
like she would be fluent in english better than

01:08:57.149 --> 01:08:59.649
me so and immediately switch i actually tried

01:08:59.649 --> 01:09:03.890
to learn dutch but every time i struggled people

01:09:03.890 --> 01:09:07.010
would immediately respond in english and i mean

01:09:07.010 --> 01:09:09.850
that's of course amazing and super friendly but

01:09:09.850 --> 01:09:11.449
it makes it harder for me to pick up the local

01:09:11.449 --> 01:09:15.229
language and In Spain, it was not like that.

01:09:15.750 --> 01:09:18.710
Yeah. How is the accent? Because people from

01:09:18.710 --> 01:09:22.029
Spain, they don't like people from the United

01:09:22.029 --> 01:09:25.449
States, I think. Don't quote me on this. I have

01:09:25.449 --> 01:09:28.689
no idea. But their accent in English is way tougher

01:09:28.689 --> 01:09:31.210
and they don't like speaking English. Is that

01:09:31.210 --> 01:09:35.050
right or no? I guess it really depends. Spain

01:09:35.050 --> 01:09:38.069
is also very multicultural and there's a lot

01:09:38.069 --> 01:09:41.130
of regional differences. And I really know only...

01:09:41.399 --> 01:09:43.779
the Catalonia region and the Balearic Islands.

01:09:44.119 --> 01:09:47.539
I haven't really had a lot of touchpoints with

01:09:47.539 --> 01:09:50.800
the rest of Spain. And even Catalonia region,

01:09:50.939 --> 01:09:53.100
you could say, a lot of people think it's its

01:09:53.100 --> 01:09:55.619
own country, so there's a big, you know, controversy

01:09:55.619 --> 01:09:57.960
or debate around that. How has it been with the

01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:00.520
language? Because what do they speak there? Spanish,

01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:04.159
right? Yeah, Catalan is the first language, and

01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:08.489
then also... also Spanish oh Catalan god damn

01:10:08.489 --> 01:10:10.949
that's even more I don't know because I have

01:10:10.949 --> 01:10:13.369
heard Catalan in the movies it sounds like Spanish

01:10:13.369 --> 01:10:19.390
but it's not Spanish right so yeah to me I mean

01:10:19.390 --> 01:10:20.789
people are going to hate me for this but to me

01:10:20.789 --> 01:10:25.010
it sounds like French spoken with a Spanish it's

01:10:25.010 --> 01:10:28.069
really difficult I don't understand it I speak

01:10:28.069 --> 01:10:31.109
Spanish that's my main language but when I watch

01:10:31.109 --> 01:10:34.590
a movie and it's in Catalan it's like what the

01:10:35.100 --> 01:10:37.899
What the hell are they talking about? I don't

01:10:37.899 --> 01:10:39.140
get it. It's very different. Speaking Spanish,

01:10:39.500 --> 01:10:43.119
yeah. So you have to learn Catalan in Spanish

01:10:43.119 --> 01:10:49.159
or what? So in the big cities in Barcelona, basically

01:10:49.159 --> 01:10:52.600
Catalan is very rarely spoken. It's more outside

01:10:52.600 --> 01:10:55.479
in the smaller towns because Barcelona is a very

01:10:55.479 --> 01:10:58.279
international city. A lot of people don't even

01:10:58.279 --> 01:11:00.199
speak any of the local languages. They only speak

01:11:00.199 --> 01:11:03.930
English, a lot of expats. You can get by, but

01:11:03.930 --> 01:11:06.430
personally, I also like learning the local language,

01:11:06.609 --> 01:11:10.829
at least Spanish. I'm not so keen on Catalan,

01:11:10.949 --> 01:11:16.050
but just because it's very limited in the number

01:11:16.050 --> 01:11:20.029
of people who only speak Catalan. I've never

01:11:20.029 --> 01:11:23.050
met anyone who only speaks Catalan and not Castilian

01:11:23.050 --> 01:11:26.810
Spanish. So if I learn Castilian Spanish, I can

01:11:26.810 --> 01:11:28.949
talk to basically everyone in Catalonia and then

01:11:28.949 --> 01:11:31.840
also... everyone in Latin America and the rest

01:11:31.840 --> 01:11:38.039
of Spain so and how's your Spanish now getting

01:11:38.039 --> 01:11:42.680
worse it used to be it used to be better when

01:11:42.680 --> 01:11:45.659
I did my master's here because I did that in

01:11:45.659 --> 01:11:50.760
Spanish and it it was much better back then because

01:11:50.760 --> 01:11:53.539
I used it on a daily basis and these days because

01:11:53.539 --> 01:11:56.140
at work I only speak English and then at home

01:11:56.140 --> 01:11:59.369
I speak German And I do have a few friends that

01:11:59.369 --> 01:12:02.789
I speak Spanish with, but I'm losing more and

01:12:02.789 --> 01:12:06.170
more touch points with the language. So I'm losing

01:12:06.170 --> 01:12:08.729
more and more the practice. And what about English?

01:12:08.869 --> 01:12:12.189
Because German is your first language, right?

01:12:13.590 --> 01:12:17.750
So you know three languages, basically German,

01:12:17.890 --> 01:12:20.850
English and Spanish. And how has the English

01:12:20.850 --> 01:12:23.170
or how was the English? Why did you learn English?

01:12:23.250 --> 01:12:28.069
Is it common in Germany? I think the average

01:12:28.069 --> 01:12:31.550
level of English in Germany is quite good. I

01:12:31.550 --> 01:12:35.310
think most people can get by in English. At least

01:12:35.310 --> 01:12:38.029
people who went to university or did their high

01:12:38.029 --> 01:12:42.310
school finished. I think they can get by in English.

01:12:42.470 --> 01:12:46.390
So it's generally okay, but it was for me never

01:12:46.390 --> 01:12:48.430
on a level where I could have this kind of conversation.

01:12:48.689 --> 01:12:50.850
And I really wanted to improve on that because

01:12:50.850 --> 01:12:53.409
I felt limited by that. My thinking was that

01:12:53.409 --> 01:12:56.829
if I don't speak English, then I will... I can

01:12:56.829 --> 01:13:01.970
only work and I can only be in Germany. And that

01:13:01.970 --> 01:13:03.829
was also a motivation why I went to the Netherlands,

01:13:03.989 --> 01:13:07.930
because the courses were completely in English.

01:13:08.609 --> 01:13:10.449
And I mean, there are programs that are taught

01:13:10.449 --> 01:13:13.210
in English also in Germany. But then I knew that,

01:13:13.310 --> 01:13:16.850
okay, I will only speak or only hear English

01:13:16.850 --> 01:13:19.289
during the lectures. But once the lecture is

01:13:19.289 --> 01:13:21.369
over, I'm going to be surrounded only by German

01:13:21.369 --> 01:13:23.750
people. So I will not get the chance to actually

01:13:23.750 --> 01:13:28.600
improve it very much. Okay. Okay. Interesting.

01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:33.859
And how old are you, by the way, Hendrik? I'm

01:13:33.859 --> 01:13:39.039
an early 90s kid. So I'm 32 at this point. 32?

01:13:39.340 --> 01:13:44.579
Okay. 32. Okay. I'm 30, 38. We're older than

01:13:44.579 --> 01:13:53.659
Silvan for sure. Yeah. And you mentioned note

01:13:53.659 --> 01:13:56.579
-taking as well. And you mentioned Obsidian,

01:13:56.720 --> 01:14:01.260
right? Yeah. Okay. Is there a reason why you

01:14:01.260 --> 01:14:05.039
still use Obsidian and haven't fully migrated

01:14:05.039 --> 01:14:07.720
into NeoVim? Because I did use Obsidian as well,

01:14:07.819 --> 01:14:11.939
but I basically implemented all of the features

01:14:11.939 --> 01:14:14.539
that I needed from Obsidian and NeoVim, and now

01:14:14.539 --> 01:14:19.779
I only use NeoVim. Like, what's your... Excuse.

01:14:20.420 --> 01:14:23.600
Well, no. Why do you like using Obsidian, basically?

01:14:24.560 --> 01:14:28.520
Yeah, so I do use Vim motions in Obsidian. The

01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:31.199
main reason I'm not using it in NeoVim, and sometimes

01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:35.399
I actually do. Sometimes I open my vault in NeoVim.

01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:40.000
It makes it much easier to find nodes, but I

01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:43.039
find the readability in Obsidian quite good.

01:14:43.159 --> 01:14:45.819
So it has much better spacing and this kind of

01:14:45.819 --> 01:14:48.439
stuff. And even the Markdown formatting plugins

01:14:48.439 --> 01:14:51.439
in NeoVim, I find the readability overall is

01:14:51.439 --> 01:14:54.789
much worse. And a lot of times I just need, like

01:14:54.789 --> 01:14:59.270
now for example, I have my Obsidian behind this

01:14:59.270 --> 01:15:02.109
MacBook screen and I can see my notes and it's

01:15:02.109 --> 01:15:05.590
just more readable for me. Yeah, and it's smoother

01:15:05.590 --> 01:15:08.229
to scroll. That's one thing that I did like about

01:15:08.229 --> 01:15:10.270
it. Because you can scroll with the mouse and

01:15:10.270 --> 01:15:12.510
it's smoother. But something that I didn't like

01:15:12.510 --> 01:15:15.829
is the switching of the apps because I spend

01:15:15.829 --> 01:15:18.729
most of the day in the terminal. Moving to Obsidian,

01:15:18.869 --> 01:15:22.239
it was like, oh man. I had BIM motions enabled,

01:15:22.500 --> 01:15:24.619
right? So I could navigate with BIM motions,

01:15:24.779 --> 01:15:27.119
but I didn't have all of the ones that I needed,

01:15:27.180 --> 01:15:30.539
like surround. Like if I wanted to surround something,

01:15:30.859 --> 01:15:33.060
I couldn't do it. Or if I wanted to do, you know,

01:15:33.199 --> 01:15:35.600
a little bit more complicated stuff, I couldn't

01:15:35.600 --> 01:15:38.859
do it. I did go through the, because there's

01:15:38.859 --> 01:15:42.760
a way to use your BIM RC file, I think it's called,

01:15:42.880 --> 01:15:46.119
right? So I did modify it a lot and I implemented

01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:49.510
a lot of key maps like. gh to go to the beginning

01:15:49.510 --> 01:15:51.970
of the line or gl to go to the end but it was

01:15:51.970 --> 01:15:54.130
not enough and i had to play a lot of tricks

01:15:54.130 --> 01:15:59.010
so i just decided yeah but something that made

01:15:59.010 --> 01:16:02.189
a huge difference for me you know is folds and

01:16:02.189 --> 01:16:04.810
that's the way that i navigate files right now

01:16:04.810 --> 01:16:09.130
so i'm just gonna quickly show to my screen right

01:16:09.130 --> 01:16:11.329
now let me just open a different file because

01:16:11.329 --> 01:16:15.210
like you said if i have everything unfolded right

01:16:16.010 --> 01:16:20.149
I love how your cursor looks. Oh, yeah. It's

01:16:20.149 --> 01:16:26.149
the ghosty thing that they implemented. Oh, that's

01:16:26.149 --> 01:16:29.090
so cool. Yeah, it's cool. I created a video about

01:16:29.090 --> 01:16:33.470
it. So it helps seeing where the cursor is, right?

01:16:33.670 --> 01:16:36.970
That alone is a reason to switch to ghosty. Yeah.

01:16:37.170 --> 01:16:41.270
It has two colors. It has like orangey. When

01:16:41.270 --> 01:16:45.149
it lands somewhere, there's like an orange around

01:16:45.149 --> 01:16:49.510
it. looks cool but i get it what you said if

01:16:49.510 --> 01:16:53.789
i would navigate files this way it's a pain it's

01:16:53.789 --> 01:16:57.390
horrible i don't like it but ever since i implemented

01:16:57.390 --> 01:17:01.369
folds i don't know i have navigated files this

01:17:01.369 --> 01:17:08.229
way and um it's it's not complicated yeah it's

01:17:08.229 --> 01:17:12.819
clean but folds were like a huge part for me,

01:17:12.899 --> 01:17:16.720
right? So I do level two or level two and level

01:17:16.720 --> 01:17:19.000
three. If I want to see level two and level three

01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:22.939
and jump to a specific section. So I think that

01:17:22.939 --> 01:17:26.640
that's one of the things that didn't make me

01:17:26.640 --> 01:17:30.079
miss Obsidian. Then I tried to implement this

01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:33.479
folding feature in Obsidian, I think, and I couldn't.

01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:36.359
And I was like, oh, I'm faster in Nuvem than

01:17:36.359 --> 01:17:39.359
in Obsidian. So I just stick to Nuvem. and it's

01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:42.220
been good so far you know do you take a lot of

01:17:42.220 --> 01:17:46.500
notes yeah definitely i try to build a second

01:17:46.500 --> 01:17:49.560
brain oh yeah do you use the saddle casting method

01:17:49.560 --> 01:17:55.619
i have one sub directory for settle custom but

01:17:55.619 --> 01:17:59.699
i find it a bit challenging you know i i do have

01:17:59.699 --> 01:18:03.119
kind of an inbox directory which is my fleeting

01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:07.050
notes so it's like um a daily note with the current

01:18:07.050 --> 01:18:09.649
date and this is kind of where i populate the

01:18:09.649 --> 01:18:11.289
notes that that i want to take throughout the

01:18:11.289 --> 01:18:14.630
day and then periodically whenever i have some

01:18:14.630 --> 01:18:17.409
time and the backlog of these daily notes gets

01:18:17.409 --> 01:18:20.010
too too big then i kind of rearrange them and

01:18:20.010 --> 01:18:23.050
i think okay what do i want to capture from them

01:18:23.050 --> 01:18:25.630
so i either delete them or i convert them into

01:18:25.630 --> 01:18:27.970
more permanent notes or like these atomic notes

01:18:27.970 --> 01:18:32.970
but i'm having a hard time implementing this

01:18:32.970 --> 01:18:37.909
linking between notes i do it a little bit but

01:18:37.909 --> 01:18:41.229
yeah how do you oh what do you think about this

01:18:41.229 --> 01:18:45.569
does it work for you yeah for that i use um a

01:18:45.569 --> 01:18:48.789
plugin called marksman well you install it through

01:18:48.789 --> 01:18:51.229
mason so it's not a plugin it's just a package

01:18:51.229 --> 01:18:54.109
you know but it's an lsb it's called marksman

01:18:54.109 --> 01:18:57.270
i have a section here testing marksman links

01:18:57.270 --> 01:19:00.949
so i have links here and i use blink so it helps

01:19:00.949 --> 01:19:05.560
me auto complete um a note right so if i do gd

01:19:05.560 --> 01:19:10.239
here it's gonna jump to this note what happened

01:19:10.239 --> 01:19:15.060
here oh there's a swap file let me see oh swap

01:19:15.060 --> 01:19:20.960
file yeah favorite uh yeah so i i go back with

01:19:20.960 --> 01:19:23.920
control o right since it adds it to the jump

01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:26.119
list when i jump to the other file or control

01:19:26.119 --> 01:19:30.770
i to go back usual jump list stuff right so Like

01:19:30.770 --> 01:19:33.270
here, for example, GD as well. It's going to

01:19:33.270 --> 01:19:35.909
take me to this file, to this specific heading.

01:19:36.109 --> 01:19:40.229
I can go back with Control -O. And Blink is really

01:19:40.229 --> 01:19:43.010
useful because it helps me autocomplete, right?

01:19:43.069 --> 01:19:46.689
So if I type something in here, let's say XCPNG,

01:19:46.890 --> 01:19:49.409
right? That's the name of the note. Notice that

01:19:49.409 --> 01:19:53.590
it found the note. I can autocomplete it and

01:19:53.590 --> 01:19:56.770
I can autocomplete a heading, right? I don't

01:19:56.770 --> 01:20:02.260
know why. What can I type here? There's the headings

01:20:02.260 --> 01:20:08.100
for this XCPNG file, right? So if I want to add

01:20:08.100 --> 01:20:12.180
this USB pass -through, for example, it takes

01:20:12.180 --> 01:20:15.500
a little while there. It auto -completed it.

01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:18.920
Now the link is there, and I can GD. It's going

01:20:18.920 --> 01:20:23.960
to take me to it. Control -Alt to go back. It's

01:20:23.960 --> 01:20:29.489
not perfect, but it works. I tried the settle

01:20:29.489 --> 01:20:31.970
casting method, man. I even purchased a course

01:20:31.970 --> 01:20:34.210
on Udemy about the settle casting method. And

01:20:34.210 --> 01:20:36.449
I was like, okay, I'm going to get it this time.

01:20:36.529 --> 01:20:39.210
I didn't get it. I watched the course and I was

01:20:39.210 --> 01:20:42.489
even more confused than when I started. It was

01:20:42.489 --> 01:20:45.109
like, I don't understand it. The problem is that

01:20:45.109 --> 01:20:48.510
I have really long notes, right? I create really

01:20:48.510 --> 01:20:51.710
long files. And I don't know if the settle casting

01:20:51.710 --> 01:20:56.170
works that way. Because if I open this one, Kubernetes

01:20:56.170 --> 01:21:01.659
.md, right? Just notice how many headings. It's

01:21:01.659 --> 01:21:06.140
a huge file. It has thousands of lines, 14 ,000

01:21:06.140 --> 01:21:15.000
lines, right? So how do I, like, segregate this

01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:17.840
into smaller nodes? How will it make sense? How

01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:21.779
will I connect? Now, I just, and this is the

01:21:21.779 --> 01:21:25.300
way that all my nodes are. I have a Docker swarm

01:21:25.300 --> 01:21:29.100
file in which I, you know, write down all of

01:21:29.100 --> 01:21:33.020
the Docker swarm information. I don't know how

01:21:33.020 --> 01:21:36.260
to translate that into SettleCasten. So I don't

01:21:36.260 --> 01:21:40.100
know if SettleCasten is for everyone. I'm not

01:21:40.100 --> 01:21:42.800
sure. Maybe I just don't understand it. Maybe

01:21:42.800 --> 01:21:45.579
there's a way of doing it better. I have no idea.

01:21:45.819 --> 01:21:49.020
You have any thoughts there? I mean, at the end

01:21:49.020 --> 01:21:52.560
of the day, these are just ideas and concepts,

01:21:52.720 --> 01:21:55.960
right? they don't have to work for everyone they

01:21:55.960 --> 01:21:58.659
work maybe for a specific person very well the

01:21:58.659 --> 01:22:01.060
creator and then maybe they have gotten some

01:22:01.060 --> 01:22:02.680
following and it worked well for other people

01:22:02.680 --> 01:22:05.899
but different brains work in different ways so

01:22:05.899 --> 01:22:09.319
i think it's perfectly fine to come up with your

01:22:09.319 --> 01:22:12.199
own systems right i mean this is what new vim

01:22:12.199 --> 01:22:14.539
and configuring it is all about at the end of

01:22:14.539 --> 01:22:18.239
the day right yeah makes sense but i did give

01:22:18.239 --> 01:22:21.319
it a try i watched videos i didn't understand

01:22:21.319 --> 01:22:24.489
it and i was like no It's not for me, I guess.

01:22:24.529 --> 01:22:27.930
Maybe in the future, once I know how to do it,

01:22:27.949 --> 01:22:31.850
or if someone tech -related shows me how to do

01:22:31.850 --> 01:22:35.130
it properly, I'll give it a chance. But it didn't

01:22:35.130 --> 01:22:38.770
make sense for me at all. Have you tried any

01:22:38.770 --> 01:22:42.050
of the other new IDEs, like the AI -related ones?

01:22:43.890 --> 01:22:47.310
Recently, I've tried Cloud Code, if you can consider

01:22:47.310 --> 01:22:51.470
that an IDE. I mean, it's just a terminal CLI

01:22:51.470 --> 01:22:53.539
tool. I haven't tried it, but I'm interested

01:22:53.539 --> 01:22:57.760
in trying it. Share with us a bit more. It's

01:22:57.760 --> 01:23:00.600
pretty good. I haven't tried Cursor or Lovable

01:23:00.600 --> 01:23:02.840
or something like that, but Cloud Code is amazing,

01:23:02.939 --> 01:23:06.619
especially with NeoVim and Tmux. For me, this

01:23:06.619 --> 01:23:11.039
is the best AI workflow I've seen so far. I've

01:23:11.039 --> 01:23:14.340
also used Avante before, the NeoVim plugin, which

01:23:14.340 --> 01:23:18.100
is quite cool. I didn't use it. You didn't like

01:23:18.100 --> 01:23:20.460
it? I didn't use it. I never installed it. The

01:23:20.460 --> 01:23:23.119
only one that I installed was Copilot. And it's

01:23:23.119 --> 01:23:25.739
not that the plugin was bad. It was good. Just

01:23:25.739 --> 01:23:29.020
Copilot itself, the Microsoft tool or whoever

01:23:29.020 --> 01:23:31.979
owns it was crap. And I was like, no, I don't

01:23:31.979 --> 01:23:34.380
like this. I uninstalled it and moved on. But

01:23:34.380 --> 01:23:39.199
I never tried another one. What about the set

01:23:39.199 --> 01:23:43.680
OpenCode? OpenCode is that the one by one of

01:23:43.680 --> 01:23:48.210
the Primogen guys? by one of the guys in the

01:23:48.210 --> 01:23:51.329
Primogen gang. Is that the one? It's a CLI tool

01:23:51.329 --> 01:23:53.289
or something? I'm not sure. Is that the one?

01:23:53.810 --> 01:23:57.010
I think he had the creator on the show the other

01:23:57.010 --> 01:24:01.149
day. Oh. Or something like that. I haven't tried

01:24:01.149 --> 01:24:03.569
the tool, but it looks interesting as well. Anyway,

01:24:03.649 --> 01:24:07.649
so far, for me, Cloud Code is the best, especially

01:24:07.649 --> 01:24:10.569
combined with Neovim and Tmux. Because it's just

01:24:10.569 --> 01:24:13.750
a CLI tool that you can spin up in a Tmux pane.

01:24:14.250 --> 01:24:17.850
okay it doesn't disrupt my near vim workflow

01:24:17.850 --> 01:24:20.729
at all pretty much and the cool thing about it

01:24:20.729 --> 01:24:24.329
is that it has like a planning mode and it has

01:24:24.329 --> 01:24:26.250
access to your entire code base and also like

01:24:26.250 --> 01:24:29.970
tools that can do research and other things and

01:24:29.970 --> 01:24:32.310
it has even like a configuration file it has

01:24:32.310 --> 01:24:35.390
like a global configuration file and then you

01:24:35.390 --> 01:24:38.369
can have inside of your repos specific configuration

01:24:38.369 --> 01:24:41.210
files that are just for this repo so you can

01:24:41.210 --> 01:24:43.859
give like basically a system prompt in these

01:24:43.859 --> 01:24:45.659
configuration files how you want it to behave

01:24:45.659 --> 01:24:49.300
like should it not use certain tools should it

01:24:49.300 --> 01:24:53.760
i don't know enforce a certain code style that

01:24:53.760 --> 01:24:58.159
you have or or whatever and what's the scope

01:24:58.159 --> 01:25:03.560
that it has like okay so i go to a path right

01:25:03.560 --> 01:25:07.779
to to the path of the project and i open uh clot

01:25:07.779 --> 01:25:10.199
code in that path so it's just going to have

01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:14.250
access to To that directory and all the subdirectories

01:25:14.250 --> 01:25:17.149
inside. Does it have access to stuff above? Can

01:25:17.149 --> 01:25:19.090
I go to my root directory and all that stuff?

01:25:20.750 --> 01:25:24.109
I think by default, not. Probably you can tell

01:25:24.109 --> 01:25:26.210
it that because you can also inside of Cloud

01:25:26.210 --> 01:25:29.350
Code, you can run any bash command. So you could

01:25:29.350 --> 01:25:33.350
also do a cd dot dot. And I guess then it would

01:25:33.350 --> 01:25:34.890
have access to more directories. But I think

01:25:34.890 --> 01:25:38.300
by default, it will be limited. It can run bash

01:25:38.300 --> 01:25:40.840
commands to find stuff. So you can also tell

01:25:40.840 --> 01:25:44.439
it to run bash commands. And this is also quite

01:25:44.439 --> 01:25:46.840
cool. You have this planning mode where you can

01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:52.000
kind of discuss your idea. And I say, for example,

01:25:52.600 --> 01:25:54.619
well, I'm thinking of implementing a class that

01:25:54.619 --> 01:25:56.619
does this and this. Can you give me some feedback

01:25:56.619 --> 01:25:58.739
on how this would fit into the overall code base?

01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:01.180
And then you can kind of go back and forth and

01:26:01.180 --> 01:26:04.460
come up with a good design and a plan. And then...

01:26:04.680 --> 01:26:07.100
it goes ahead step by step and at each step it

01:26:07.100 --> 01:26:09.760
gives you like a git diff kind of view the lines

01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:13.920
it would take out the lines it would add and

01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:15.939
then you can further refine that as well you

01:26:15.939 --> 01:26:18.220
can say okay just go ahead or you can say no

01:26:18.220 --> 01:26:20.819
i don't like this and then you can say what it

01:26:20.819 --> 01:26:23.460
should improve and like this you can iterate

01:26:23.460 --> 01:26:25.479
back and forth and come up with a pretty good

01:26:25.479 --> 01:26:29.699
overall design and then because it can run any

01:26:29.699 --> 01:26:32.520
bash command it uses grab a lot to find files

01:26:32.520 --> 01:26:34.680
and stuff like this And then it can also run

01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:37.699
your tests. And when a test fails, it immediately

01:26:37.699 --> 01:26:39.939
sees the output and then can reiterate on that

01:26:39.939 --> 01:26:43.159
and make the improvements in your code base.

01:26:44.500 --> 01:26:48.899
It's still, sometimes I like it, especially for

01:26:48.899 --> 01:26:50.359
the planning mode and the brainstorming stuff.

01:26:50.819 --> 01:26:53.720
But sometimes it can also be a bit hands -off

01:26:53.720 --> 01:26:57.859
if you rely on it too much. But overall, I really

01:26:57.859 --> 01:27:00.279
like the integration that it can just be in a

01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:03.199
Tmux pane. It works really well with this. neovim

01:27:03.199 --> 01:27:08.079
tmux kind of workflow and it's not overly integrated

01:27:08.079 --> 01:27:11.479
into into the ide oh i'm concerned that it's

01:27:11.479 --> 01:27:13.520
gonna touch other files that it's not supposed

01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:17.720
to right but uh has that happened to you or can

01:27:17.720 --> 01:27:20.819
it touch files outside the project because i'm

01:27:20.819 --> 01:27:24.000
like what if a file is not tracked i'm not gonna

01:27:24.000 --> 01:27:26.520
know if it touched it or not because if it's

01:27:26.520 --> 01:27:29.380
in the project i can see okay it modified this

01:27:29.380 --> 01:27:32.399
because i can When I'm about to commit and lasing

01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:34.899
it, I can see what changed and everything. But

01:27:34.899 --> 01:27:39.800
what if it goes outside of the directory where

01:27:39.800 --> 01:27:42.659
you started it in and it modifies stuff out somewhere?

01:27:42.899 --> 01:27:45.079
Do you know if that's a problem or not? I have

01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:48.300
no idea. I guess it depends on how you use it.

01:27:48.720 --> 01:27:52.319
Because in theory, it always tells you what it's

01:27:52.319 --> 01:27:54.260
going to do and you need to accept each change.

01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:59.640
But there's also an auto -accept mode. Oh. So

01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:01.380
you could do the auto accept mode and just say,

01:28:01.439 --> 01:28:03.359
okay, do whatever you want, basically. But then,

01:28:03.380 --> 01:28:06.000
you know, also the damage is on you in this case.

01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:10.420
Okay. Okay. But it's controlled. You can, you

01:28:10.420 --> 01:28:15.300
can accept what it's about to do. And okay. Okay.

01:28:15.380 --> 01:28:20.359
Yeah. It gets wild. I don't want to pay too much

01:28:20.359 --> 01:28:23.279
because Rumen pays like $200 for this thing.

01:28:23.319 --> 01:28:26.649
And I'm like, hell no. If I. Go to my wife and

01:28:26.649 --> 01:28:31.390
tell her, hey, I'm going to pay like $200. She's

01:28:31.390 --> 01:28:33.369
going to be like, what the hell are you talking?

01:28:33.470 --> 01:28:35.770
And I don't want to spend that money on that.

01:28:35.850 --> 01:28:38.909
How much do you pay for it? Is the $20, do they

01:28:38.909 --> 01:28:43.170
have a $20 plan? I don't have any cloud subscription.

01:28:43.310 --> 01:28:48.390
It is provided by work. Oh, and it's unlimited?

01:28:49.850 --> 01:28:54.149
Pretty much, yeah. I think it's rate limited,

01:28:54.270 --> 01:28:58.090
actually. But I only ran into this a couple of

01:28:58.090 --> 01:29:02.869
times. Okay. That's a good way to test it if

01:29:02.869 --> 01:29:07.310
it's provided at your work company. Okay. There's

01:29:07.310 --> 01:29:09.970
also a command. Also, what is cool, I forgot

01:29:09.970 --> 01:29:12.550
about this. One thing that's cool about Cloud

01:29:12.550 --> 01:29:16.390
Code is that it even has a Vim mode. So when

01:29:16.390 --> 01:29:19.149
you're typing your prompt, you can even edit

01:29:19.149 --> 01:29:22.560
this with Vim motions. And there's another command

01:29:22.560 --> 01:29:24.880
that is cost, and then you can see exactly what

01:29:24.880 --> 01:29:27.300
you spent, the exact dollar amount of your API

01:29:27.300 --> 01:29:30.000
consumption. And to be honest, I think it's a

01:29:30.000 --> 01:29:33.460
bit crazy. So for 10 minutes of serious usage,

01:29:33.720 --> 01:29:40.439
I think I paid around 2 euros 50, which is not

01:29:40.439 --> 01:29:43.119
a little. That's a month of chat -to -PC. Yeah.

01:29:44.079 --> 01:29:48.750
No, 2 euros 50. oh oh you're right yeah yeah

01:29:48.750 --> 01:29:51.630
two euros okay it's like 20 20 yeah yeah yeah

01:29:51.630 --> 01:29:53.630
but still but still for 10 minutes of use it's

01:29:53.630 --> 01:29:57.189
quite yeah so in a day you go over 20 for sure

01:29:57.189 --> 01:30:03.750
if you spend the whole day coding yeah uh i don't

01:30:03.750 --> 01:30:08.810
like that too much it's expensive then it's definitely

01:30:08.810 --> 01:30:13.449
expensive yeah okay okay i don't know i'll probably

01:30:13.449 --> 01:30:16.520
give it a try in stuff that i know In and out,

01:30:16.560 --> 01:30:19.159
like my .files. I know that I have to rearrange

01:30:19.159 --> 01:30:22.220
a lot of stuff. So any decisions that it's about

01:30:22.220 --> 01:30:24.560
to make, I can be like, okay, I like that idea.

01:30:24.800 --> 01:30:27.239
Yeah, good, good, implement it. If it's something

01:30:27.239 --> 01:30:29.399
that I don't know at all and it's going to create

01:30:29.399 --> 01:30:31.699
it from scratch, I don't see the real benefit

01:30:31.699 --> 01:30:35.260
unless I want to have a prototype for something.

01:30:35.439 --> 01:30:37.479
I need to come up with something fast, quick,

01:30:37.560 --> 01:30:40.979
and I don't care about the code too much. It's

01:30:40.979 --> 01:30:45.270
fine. But I know my .files, you know. So it could

01:30:45.270 --> 01:30:49.210
help me detect bugs easily, I think, in minor

01:30:49.210 --> 01:30:52.289
stuff like that, you know, because it has access

01:30:52.289 --> 01:30:56.369
to the context. So I do see the use case in that

01:30:56.369 --> 01:31:01.550
scenario, but we'll see. Now, have you thought

01:31:01.550 --> 01:31:04.109
about or have you heard about Emacs? Have you

01:31:04.109 --> 01:31:06.310
used Emacs? Have you ever thought about using

01:31:06.310 --> 01:31:12.180
it? Oh, Emacs. I have not used it. I'm kind of

01:31:12.180 --> 01:31:14.960
curious, but I'm also a bit afraid of the Emacs

01:31:14.960 --> 01:31:17.020
pinky. I'm afraid that it's going to be less

01:31:17.020 --> 01:31:20.119
ergonomic than Vim. And this is the main deterrent

01:31:20.119 --> 01:31:24.760
for me. But also, you know, I mean, I said that

01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:26.720
I really appreciate craftsmanship and that you

01:31:26.720 --> 01:31:29.119
should definitely overinvest into NeoVim when

01:31:29.119 --> 01:31:34.380
you do feel that, when you also appreciate craftsmanship.

01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:38.640
But I also don't feel like picking up... another

01:31:38.640 --> 01:31:41.659
complex tool from scratch at this point because

01:31:41.659 --> 01:31:45.399
i mean i've already spent so much time with the

01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:47.800
new m config it's a very solid tool it gets the

01:31:47.800 --> 01:31:52.180
job done and the workflow is pretty good so i

01:31:52.180 --> 01:31:55.000
don't know at this point i have also other things

01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:58.920
on my plate yeah that's your bug you're afraid

01:31:58.920 --> 01:32:02.340
i'm afraid i'm afraid of trying emacs because

01:32:02.340 --> 01:32:05.800
i know that it's gonna be a month all in and

01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:08.840
it's gonna take too much of my time because I'm

01:32:08.840 --> 01:32:10.699
not going to come up with just a simple config.

01:32:10.920 --> 01:32:12.920
I will want to configure it the way that I want

01:32:12.920 --> 01:32:16.560
it. And it's just going to absorb me. Not a month,

01:32:16.680 --> 01:32:20.220
maybe even more. And I'm just like, no. It happened

01:32:20.220 --> 01:32:22.539
to me with Kanata, which is a keyboard mapper.

01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:27.260
I was like, I will try Kanata someday. I decided

01:32:27.260 --> 01:32:29.579
to try it, but I didn't want to try it because

01:32:29.579 --> 01:32:31.680
I knew that it was going to take time. It took

01:32:31.680 --> 01:32:34.340
time. It took a lot of time. Trial, error, trying

01:32:34.340 --> 01:32:38.079
things. Man. It did take over a month and it

01:32:38.079 --> 01:32:40.659
was, I don't enjoy that process, you know, of

01:32:40.659 --> 01:32:42.939
going into a new tool that you know that is going

01:32:42.939 --> 01:32:47.619
to be difficult. It's way too much work. Especially

01:32:47.619 --> 01:32:50.579
if the outlook is that it could just replace

01:32:50.579 --> 01:32:54.239
your current workflow, but it doesn't refine

01:32:54.239 --> 01:32:56.600
it further. Maybe in the very long run, maybe

01:32:56.600 --> 01:33:02.319
it's better, but then I don't think it looks

01:33:02.319 --> 01:33:04.239
very promising because Vim is already quite good.

01:33:04.279 --> 01:33:07.010
It's already very efficient. And you know how

01:33:07.010 --> 01:33:10.090
the joke goes, right? Emacs is not just an editor,

01:33:10.289 --> 01:33:13.489
it's a whole operating system. So that's actually

01:33:13.489 --> 01:33:16.869
scary for me. Yeah, I know for sure that I would

01:33:16.869 --> 01:33:19.270
have my email there and I would stay the whole

01:33:19.270 --> 01:33:22.529
day inside Emacs and my calendar because I do

01:33:22.529 --> 01:33:27.510
see the appeal, right? If in my tool that looks

01:33:27.510 --> 01:33:29.529
like a terminal, even though it's not a terminal,

01:33:29.649 --> 01:33:34.489
it's its own tool, I can have my email, my calendar.

01:33:35.369 --> 01:33:39.609
Edit my files, my blog posts, my notes. Man,

01:33:39.789 --> 01:33:43.289
it's heaven. You will. Yeah, I will be there

01:33:43.289 --> 01:33:45.810
the whole day. I can guarantee you that. But

01:33:45.810 --> 01:33:50.170
the cost of learning it and configuring it is

01:33:50.170 --> 01:33:53.350
too much that I'm like, no, I'm not doing that

01:33:53.350 --> 01:34:00.750
at the moment. And talking about that, what was

01:34:00.750 --> 01:34:03.369
I going to talk about? Hold on. I was going to

01:34:03.369 --> 01:34:06.680
ask you. Oh, yep, yep. Talking about the same

01:34:06.680 --> 01:34:10.279
related topic. I see you use macOS in your videos.

01:34:10.380 --> 01:34:14.180
Is that right? Yeah. Okay. Have you ever thought

01:34:14.180 --> 01:34:16.739
about switching to Linux or have you switched

01:34:16.739 --> 01:34:20.319
to Linux or do you use Linux? I actually have

01:34:20.319 --> 01:34:25.020
the Linux installed on a USB stick. I can, whenever

01:34:25.020 --> 01:34:27.920
I need to, like I have my most important software

01:34:27.920 --> 01:34:31.199
installed there, like a password manager and

01:34:31.199 --> 01:34:35.640
access to my cloud and stuff like this. So whenever

01:34:35.640 --> 01:34:37.600
I need to, I just need to have the stick and

01:34:37.600 --> 01:34:39.479
the machine available where I can plug it in

01:34:39.479 --> 01:34:42.579
and then have access to my most important documents

01:34:42.579 --> 01:34:45.640
and everything I need. But I don't use it for

01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:48.220
work on a daily basis. And the reason for that

01:34:48.220 --> 01:34:52.079
is that at work, everyone on my team has a MacBook

01:34:52.079 --> 01:34:55.560
and the company provides a MacBook. And if I

01:34:55.560 --> 01:34:58.840
can choose on a hardware basis between a MacBook

01:34:58.840 --> 01:35:01.840
and a ThinkPad, then I'm definitely going to

01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:07.500
go for the MacBook. And I do love Linux, though.

01:35:07.579 --> 01:35:12.439
And I think it's the best operating system. But

01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:15.619
the combination of having really solid hardware

01:35:15.619 --> 01:35:19.420
and an operating system that is Unix -based,

01:35:19.640 --> 01:35:23.420
that is a very strong factor for me for going

01:35:23.420 --> 01:35:29.720
for Mac. Okay. And at this point in time, if

01:35:29.720 --> 01:35:33.289
you were to buy a laptop, right? It happened

01:35:33.289 --> 01:35:36.670
to me. I was given a MacBook at the previous

01:35:36.670 --> 01:35:39.550
job I had, and I used it for like six years.

01:35:40.010 --> 01:35:42.670
I hated macOS at the beginning because it's like

01:35:42.670 --> 01:35:47.430
Windows. It's pretty, you know, macOS -y and

01:35:47.430 --> 01:35:51.649
the apps. And why have I Finder? I don't like

01:35:51.649 --> 01:35:55.569
Finder at all. But then I customized it, right?

01:35:55.649 --> 01:35:58.189
And now my macOS doesn't even look like macOS,

01:35:58.310 --> 01:36:02.279
doesn't act like macOS. macOS is just... a base

01:36:02.279 --> 01:36:05.140
where I install all the stuff that I want, and

01:36:05.140 --> 01:36:07.600
it allows me to do what I want. I don't have

01:36:07.600 --> 01:36:10.579
any limitations in macOS. I have my bar at the

01:36:10.579 --> 01:36:14.579
top the way that I want it, right? So if I switch

01:36:14.579 --> 01:36:18.239
here, this doesn't look like macOS, right? I

01:36:18.239 --> 01:36:21.939
have a window manager, and it doesn't get in

01:36:21.939 --> 01:36:24.560
the way. Once, of course, you go through the

01:36:24.560 --> 01:36:27.859
process of configuring it and setting it to your

01:36:27.859 --> 01:36:31.260
liking, it's just... You know, something that

01:36:31.260 --> 01:36:35.579
you can work on. macOS for me is just, I don't

01:36:35.579 --> 01:36:38.159
like macOS. I like the ability and the hardware

01:36:38.159 --> 01:36:41.699
that it gives and that it allows me to do what

01:36:41.699 --> 01:36:44.439
I want to do. Yeah, the Apple logo is the only

01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:49.760
thing that tells that it's macOS, right? Yeah,

01:36:51.180 --> 01:36:53.439
I mean, if you spend most of your time in the

01:36:53.439 --> 01:36:56.149
terminal anyway... It doesn't matter if you're

01:36:56.149 --> 01:37:00.630
running Ghost on Linux or on macOS. If that's

01:37:00.630 --> 01:37:03.770
your main app, I think the difference is not

01:37:03.770 --> 01:37:06.409
going to be that huge. And I also spend most

01:37:06.409 --> 01:37:09.729
of my time in the terminal or the browser. Maybe

01:37:09.729 --> 01:37:12.729
Obsidian, sometimes DaVinci Resolve, but that's

01:37:12.729 --> 01:37:15.170
about it. And I don't think the experience at

01:37:15.170 --> 01:37:18.409
the end of the day would be super different if

01:37:18.409 --> 01:37:22.090
I was running Linux. Yeah. What would you buy

01:37:22.090 --> 01:37:25.039
if you were at this point in time? You needed

01:37:25.039 --> 01:37:27.199
to buy a computer. Would you go with a Mac or

01:37:27.199 --> 01:37:29.500
would you go with something and start with Linux?

01:37:30.600 --> 01:37:32.560
Oh, to be honest, I have no idea what's out there.

01:37:32.659 --> 01:37:37.000
I haven't done any research lately. I think I

01:37:37.000 --> 01:37:42.399
would go with a Mac, but mostly because these

01:37:42.399 --> 01:37:46.100
days I'm also into making videos. Yeah. And I

01:37:46.100 --> 01:37:48.979
find that especially there, you can't have a

01:37:48.979 --> 01:37:51.119
fully keyboard centric workflow and working with

01:37:51.119 --> 01:37:53.220
a trackpad and having this big trackpad available.

01:37:53.819 --> 01:37:57.199
That is definitely a benefit for non -coding

01:37:57.199 --> 01:38:01.300
tasks. So I would definitely consider a MacBook,

01:38:01.399 --> 01:38:03.640
but also they have gone up in prices quite a

01:38:03.640 --> 01:38:06.960
bit. So I would need to do some digging there.

01:38:07.520 --> 01:38:09.460
Yeah, I don't know if they will keep going up

01:38:09.460 --> 01:38:14.930
with... What is it? all of the stuff that is

01:38:14.930 --> 01:38:17.930
going on in the US right now. And integration,

01:38:18.090 --> 01:38:21.130
that's another thing like Roman said in the comments,

01:38:21.850 --> 01:38:24.890
integration with the iPhone. This is my camera

01:38:24.890 --> 01:38:28.630
right now, the iPhone. For a quality to look

01:38:28.630 --> 01:38:30.989
the way that it looks right now, I would need

01:38:30.989 --> 01:38:33.649
to purchase like a pretty expensive camera, right?

01:38:33.710 --> 01:38:37.609
So no, I'm just using my iPhone. The operating

01:38:37.609 --> 01:38:41.210
system detects it as a camera. I can use it,

01:38:41.250 --> 01:38:44.439
right? I don't need to buy a dedicated camera.

01:38:44.800 --> 01:38:48.020
The ecosystem, I like it a lot. I have the watch

01:38:48.020 --> 01:38:50.819
as well. The keyboard, I have a different keyboard,

01:38:51.079 --> 01:38:56.199
but it's comfortable. I do like the ecosystem.

01:38:56.600 --> 01:38:59.199
And for video editing, it's way simpler, man.

01:38:59.380 --> 01:39:03.619
I just, DaVinci works great. OBS works great

01:39:03.619 --> 01:39:07.180
as well. This is where I do all the stuff. If

01:39:07.180 --> 01:39:10.260
I wouldn't be doing video related stuff, I would

01:39:10.260 --> 01:39:15.199
keep Linux. Definitely. A better chance. Definitely.

01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:19.920
I installed Arch a few days ago. I have not even

01:39:19.920 --> 01:39:24.020
logged into Arch because my video editing and

01:39:24.020 --> 01:39:26.659
all that process happens here in macOS, all the

01:39:26.659 --> 01:39:30.020
different applications that I use, the phone.

01:39:30.220 --> 01:39:34.359
So if I wouldn't be doing video stuff, I would

01:39:34.359 --> 01:39:39.810
definitely use Linux. I don't know. I just got

01:39:39.810 --> 01:39:44.170
used to the workflow in macOS, I guess. How was

01:39:44.170 --> 01:39:46.170
your experience with Arch? Because I did a poll

01:39:46.170 --> 01:39:48.649
on my channel the other day asking people which

01:39:48.649 --> 01:39:52.949
OS they're using. And I split Arch from Linux

01:39:52.949 --> 01:39:55.710
and I gave Arch its own category. And surprisingly,

01:39:55.930 --> 01:40:01.909
34 % voted that they're using Arch. And I was

01:40:01.909 --> 01:40:03.710
a bit surprised by that. I mean, it could be

01:40:03.710 --> 01:40:06.649
a bit of a sampling bias because maybe Arch users

01:40:06.649 --> 01:40:08.869
are more vocal about the operating system that

01:40:08.869 --> 01:40:11.350
they're using. So probably all the Arch users

01:40:11.350 --> 01:40:14.289
responded there. But also, I don't know, maybe

01:40:14.289 --> 01:40:17.689
actually a third of my audience are using Arch.

01:40:18.310 --> 01:40:21.069
So I'm definitely super curious to explore that.

01:40:21.189 --> 01:40:25.569
So how was your experience? Installation, they

01:40:25.569 --> 01:40:28.050
tell you to install Arch from scratch, right?

01:40:28.130 --> 01:40:30.670
Don't use Arch install because there's a script

01:40:30.670 --> 01:40:33.729
that shows you like a graphical interface in

01:40:33.729 --> 01:40:36.250
which you select what packages you want to install

01:40:36.250 --> 01:40:39.109
and the configuration options. That's for noobs.

01:40:39.149 --> 01:40:42.010
They say, I don't care. That's what I went with.

01:40:42.149 --> 01:40:45.170
But still, it's confusing because there's a lot

01:40:45.170 --> 01:40:47.210
of different options. Linux is really flexible.

01:40:47.430 --> 01:40:50.869
So coming from macOS, it's like, okay, so I had

01:40:50.869 --> 01:40:53.210
like 20 different options on the screen at a

01:40:53.210 --> 01:40:57.090
time. I had to choose Hyperland, Sway. I don't

01:40:57.090 --> 01:40:59.829
know if it was a window manager and the other

01:40:59.829 --> 01:41:01.989
one said, I don't know. It was really confusing.

01:41:02.189 --> 01:41:04.250
I didn't know which one to go with. Everyone

01:41:04.250 --> 01:41:07.329
in the videos and if you search in YouTube, Hyperland

01:41:07.329 --> 01:41:10.609
is everywhere. So I went with Hyperland. I chose,

01:41:10.689 --> 01:41:14.729
in theory, I didn't choose the right login screen.

01:41:15.350 --> 01:41:18.689
They say that it's not compatible with the window

01:41:18.689 --> 01:41:25.229
manager that I chose. It was confusing, to be

01:41:25.229 --> 01:41:30.390
honest with you. So I want to try Omarki, the

01:41:30.390 --> 01:41:36.850
one by DHH. And he comes from macOS. He has a

01:41:36.850 --> 01:41:39.050
lot of sensibilities, we could say, like a lot

01:41:39.050 --> 01:41:43.329
of macOS user sensibilities. I don't care about

01:41:43.329 --> 01:41:46.729
Arch install too much and installer Arch from

01:41:46.729 --> 01:41:49.310
scratch. I just want to have something that works.

01:41:49.630 --> 01:41:52.930
And I don't... I don't think I'm going to use

01:41:52.930 --> 01:41:56.329
that installation that I did. It works, but I

01:41:56.329 --> 01:41:59.569
don't want to maintain it. I'm not going to learn

01:41:59.569 --> 01:42:02.689
anything from maintaining an Arch configuration.

01:42:03.270 --> 01:42:06.470
I already know all this stuff, right? So the

01:42:06.470 --> 01:42:11.149
idea is that by installing Arch from scratch,

01:42:11.250 --> 01:42:14.189
you learn, but you're just copying and pasting

01:42:14.189 --> 01:42:17.710
commands from a guy on the internet, right? What

01:42:17.710 --> 01:42:20.689
are you really learning? If you know nothing,

01:42:20.909 --> 01:42:23.010
maybe you can learn something, but you already

01:42:23.010 --> 01:42:25.069
know your stuff. I know my stuff, so it's not

01:42:25.069 --> 01:42:27.670
going to be useful for me at all. Maybe someone

01:42:27.670 --> 01:42:30.329
starting, I guess, could be kind of useful to

01:42:30.329 --> 01:42:34.409
learn the Linux basics by installing Arch. But

01:42:34.409 --> 01:42:37.170
I've installed Linux on servers way many times.

01:42:37.310 --> 01:42:39.310
I know how to do a lot of stuff in Linux, so

01:42:39.310 --> 01:42:42.949
it depends on where you're at. At this point

01:42:42.949 --> 01:42:46.010
in my life, for me personally, Omarky is the

01:42:46.010 --> 01:42:48.760
one that I want to try. I don't want to make

01:42:48.760 --> 01:42:51.720
all the decisions, invest all this time, learn.

01:42:51.840 --> 01:42:55.819
No, I just want someone that knows to do it for

01:42:55.819 --> 01:43:00.739
me and I just go ahead and use it. But that's

01:43:00.739 --> 01:43:02.180
the one that I want to give it a try. Have you

01:43:02.180 --> 01:43:03.699
heard about it or have you watched any videos

01:43:03.699 --> 01:43:07.779
about Omarky? I've seen it in thumbnails, but

01:43:07.779 --> 01:43:14.340
I haven't clicked on the videos yet. So is it

01:43:14.340 --> 01:43:17.789
kind of like an arch? It's an Arch distro. Arch.

01:43:18.270 --> 01:43:20.470
I don't know what it is. I don't know what the

01:43:20.470 --> 01:43:25.350
Arch purists think it is. Because to me, it's

01:43:25.350 --> 01:43:29.810
a distro. It's just a Linux distro. I'm not completely

01:43:29.810 --> 01:43:33.310
sure if it's... But yeah, it gives you everything.

01:43:33.489 --> 01:43:36.369
You install it, gives you the login screen, an

01:43:36.369 --> 01:43:40.289
application launcher, DHH. I watched a video

01:43:40.289 --> 01:43:43.640
yesterday. He even... um offered five thousand

01:43:43.640 --> 01:43:46.880
dollars if someone could submit a pr to chromium

01:43:46.880 --> 01:43:51.199
so you could change the chrome colors and um

01:43:51.199 --> 01:43:55.680
when you change your theme in omarkey and that

01:43:55.680 --> 01:43:59.600
seems that is going to be coming as well so it

01:43:59.600 --> 01:44:01.640
allows you to do a lot of stuff if you change

01:44:01.640 --> 01:44:05.539
your theme it changes everywhere omar omachi

01:44:05.539 --> 01:44:10.430
omarkey omachi We're going to say it all the

01:44:10.430 --> 01:44:11.989
different ways. We're going to get one right.

01:44:12.390 --> 01:44:17.029
Omarchi, Omachi, Omarchy. I like Omachi. Yeah?

01:44:17.750 --> 01:44:22.789
Yeah, let's go with that. But yeah, it seems

01:44:22.789 --> 01:44:25.869
that it's a distro. Looks cool. And that's what

01:44:25.869 --> 01:44:28.390
I want at this point in life. I don't want to

01:44:28.390 --> 01:44:32.369
figure it out. Maybe it's the same as with Neovim

01:44:32.369 --> 01:44:36.489
distros. You know, you start with something where...

01:44:36.760 --> 01:44:38.800
A lot of stuff comes out of the box. You learn

01:44:38.800 --> 01:44:41.979
a lot. You see what it is capable of. And then

01:44:41.979 --> 01:44:44.819
you take what you like at some point and you

01:44:44.819 --> 01:44:48.079
start your own config. And then, yeah, you discard

01:44:48.079 --> 01:44:49.680
what you don't need and you keep what you like

01:44:49.680 --> 01:44:54.399
and then build on top of that. Yeah, yeah. What

01:44:54.399 --> 01:44:56.039
are your thoughts on the other two operating

01:44:56.039 --> 01:44:58.939
systems? Do you like macOS or you just use it

01:44:58.939 --> 01:45:03.430
because you have to use it? macOS is cool overall.

01:45:03.670 --> 01:45:07.050
I think the default window management is atrocious.

01:45:07.670 --> 01:45:11.449
It couldn't be worse, honestly. But there are

01:45:11.449 --> 01:45:16.430
ways around it. It is still... I prefer it much

01:45:16.430 --> 01:45:19.210
over Windows, though. I think the last great

01:45:19.210 --> 01:45:24.189
Windows was XP. Yeah, I grew up with that, so

01:45:24.189 --> 01:45:28.409
I'm a bit biased. But I felt that was a solid

01:45:28.409 --> 01:45:33.210
OS, honestly. These days, at least Mac OS is

01:45:33.210 --> 01:45:36.789
sort of clean. It doesn't feel as bloated as

01:45:36.789 --> 01:45:41.149
Windows. But I also haven't spent a lot of time

01:45:41.149 --> 01:45:45.229
with the latest Windows versions. Windows 7 was

01:45:45.229 --> 01:45:49.689
good. XP and Windows 7. They felt stable, right?

01:45:49.829 --> 01:45:53.449
Now, you go to Windows and you have some Windows

01:45:53.449 --> 01:45:57.210
that look like... Windows 7, they look like really

01:45:57.210 --> 01:46:01.010
old Windows stuff and it's not consistent. It's,

01:46:01.010 --> 01:46:04.229
I don't know. I feel Windows low as well because

01:46:04.229 --> 01:46:06.390
I'm using a Windows computer at work right now.

01:46:06.409 --> 01:46:08.609
Man, I don't like it. And it's a good computer.

01:46:08.710 --> 01:46:11.510
It's a pretty decent, powerful computer, but...

01:46:11.510 --> 01:46:16.130
No. No. Not Windows. It doesn't feel the same

01:46:16.130 --> 01:46:19.510
way. No, it doesn't. What do you use for Window

01:46:19.510 --> 01:46:23.569
Manager in macOS, by the way? I just use Karabiner.

01:46:23.930 --> 01:46:29.750
And there's a small tool called Rectangle. Oh,

01:46:29.829 --> 01:46:32.210
Rectangle. Yeah, it's a very simple utility.

01:46:32.409 --> 01:46:35.810
And I combined that with Karabiner. So there's

01:46:35.810 --> 01:46:39.109
rectangle commands that you can run from terminal.

01:46:39.569 --> 01:46:42.489
And using Karabiner, you can run terminal commands

01:46:42.489 --> 01:46:46.949
that you can trigger with a shortcut. So basically,

01:46:47.010 --> 01:46:49.489
I have in Karabiner different layers. If you

01:46:49.489 --> 01:46:51.310
want to show your screen, that's fine. I don't

01:46:51.310 --> 01:46:54.649
know if you want to or you'd rather not. Yeah,

01:46:54.689 --> 01:46:59.350
maybe we can do that. Do you need to point me

01:46:59.350 --> 01:47:01.989
to my screen? Yep, I'll switch to your screen.

01:47:02.130 --> 01:47:09.409
There. Okay. Let's see, actually. I think in

01:47:09.409 --> 01:47:15.729
one video I showed it and I had like a screenshot

01:47:15.729 --> 01:47:22.050
or something of... my layout oh yeah here okay

01:47:22.050 --> 01:47:25.770
maybe you can zoom in a bit no i can see it there

01:47:25.770 --> 01:47:29.510
looks quite good okay that's better yes so that's

01:47:29.510 --> 01:47:32.270
kind of my setup so i have the tab key as a hyper

01:47:32.270 --> 01:47:37.210
key and then i can pair that with either e or

01:47:37.210 --> 01:47:43.409
expose or w for window and so expose basically

01:47:43.409 --> 01:47:46.840
means that then the home row and the row below

01:47:46.840 --> 01:47:51.300
it they become certain apps so tab e and then

01:47:51.300 --> 01:47:54.539
what is it h will take me to finder and then

01:47:54.539 --> 01:47:59.899
j is grave and k is western so basically the

01:47:59.899 --> 01:48:02.380
the apps that i use most they are on the easiest

01:48:02.380 --> 01:48:06.180
to reach keys and also tab e and w they're also

01:48:06.180 --> 01:48:14.260
very convenient to reach and then on w i have

01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:19.520
different window positions oh okay so basically

01:48:19.520 --> 01:48:21.979
this uses rectangle under the hood and i can

01:48:21.979 --> 01:48:24.220
position the window in in all these different

01:48:24.220 --> 01:48:29.680
ways oh i see yeah so that's essentially my my

01:48:29.680 --> 01:48:32.699
kind of workflow and has been working quite quite

01:48:32.699 --> 01:48:37.359
well so far i i really don't like i switched

01:48:37.359 --> 01:48:40.680
to our screen by the way it's back to our screen

01:48:40.680 --> 01:48:44.420
cool i really don't like having to think about

01:48:44.420 --> 01:48:46.520
window management a lot and dragging and dropping

01:48:46.520 --> 01:48:49.180
drag and drop or resizing or this kind of stuff

01:48:49.180 --> 01:48:52.239
i just want to press one key and just see exactly

01:48:52.239 --> 01:48:56.380
what i want to see and and not think about it

01:48:56.380 --> 01:49:00.800
too much yeah i was i did something similar with

01:49:00.800 --> 01:49:05.420
carabiner in the in the past to switch to my

01:49:05.420 --> 01:49:08.180
different apps my dog is barking outside i don't

01:49:08.180 --> 01:49:10.340
know if you can hear it or not but yeah yeah

01:49:10.340 --> 01:49:14.020
a little bit When I talk, he barks. God damn

01:49:14.020 --> 01:49:18.619
it. But I'll leave it there. Now, I don't like,

01:49:18.800 --> 01:49:21.260
because I see that people have workspaces, right?

01:49:21.340 --> 01:49:24.220
So in workspace one, I want to keep this, this,

01:49:24.319 --> 01:49:26.699
this, this application. In workspace two, all

01:49:26.699 --> 01:49:29.000
of these other applications. Workspace three,

01:49:29.180 --> 01:49:32.260
all of the, it doesn't make sense at all. I keep

01:49:32.260 --> 01:49:35.840
all of them in the default desktop or the default

01:49:35.840 --> 01:49:38.659
workspace, and I just switch to them, right?

01:49:38.739 --> 01:49:42.470
Same. Yep. because it doesn't make too much sense

01:49:42.470 --> 01:49:48.329
to, you know, to move them to different workspaces.

01:49:48.390 --> 01:49:50.289
Let's just keep all of them in the same workspace,

01:49:50.569 --> 01:49:52.789
switch to them with my keyboard, and that's it.

01:49:53.029 --> 01:49:55.710
My terminal is the only one that is in a different

01:49:55.710 --> 01:49:59.369
workspace right now, right? So if I come here,

01:49:59.510 --> 01:50:03.470
this is on desk two on the macOS desk two. If

01:50:03.470 --> 01:50:07.119
you look here above. How can I bring it here?

01:50:07.260 --> 01:50:10.340
That's two. All of the other ones are in desk

01:50:10.340 --> 01:50:13.920
one, right? Everything. So that is the only one

01:50:13.920 --> 01:50:16.739
that I move because of the background. I like

01:50:16.739 --> 01:50:19.739
the blurred background, but the rest of them,

01:50:19.800 --> 01:50:24.520
browser and all of it is on the desktop one.

01:50:24.819 --> 01:50:27.960
So have you thought about using a window manager

01:50:27.960 --> 01:50:32.060
like Yabai or Aerospace so that... You could

01:50:32.060 --> 01:50:35.180
achieve what I'm talking about here. Not worry

01:50:35.180 --> 01:50:38.600
about where the apps live, have all of them in

01:50:38.600 --> 01:50:42.100
the same space, but let the window manager manage

01:50:42.100 --> 01:50:46.520
your windows. I always like them this size, so

01:50:46.520 --> 01:50:49.380
that's what I use it for, basically, so that

01:50:49.380 --> 01:50:52.779
it puts the application of a specific size on

01:50:52.779 --> 01:50:57.359
the screen. Right, right. Well, I tried Yabai

01:50:57.359 --> 01:51:02.500
and Amethyst, I think it's called. But to me,

01:51:02.600 --> 01:51:05.699
the concept of window tiling never made sense.

01:51:06.119 --> 01:51:08.859
Especially because I have a widescreen monitor,

01:51:09.100 --> 01:51:12.260
and then it just snaps it to the left half of

01:51:12.260 --> 01:51:14.720
the screen. And this is very uncomfortable for

01:51:14.720 --> 01:51:17.920
me. I want it to be in the center. And only if

01:51:17.920 --> 01:51:20.199
I need to switch or see two apps side by side,

01:51:20.300 --> 01:51:23.880
that's actually the only time I make full use

01:51:23.880 --> 01:51:28.020
of the widescreen monitor. regret a little bit

01:51:28.020 --> 01:51:30.079
buying it because i make so little use of the

01:51:30.079 --> 01:51:34.500
screen real estate i think a normal 16 by 9 monitor

01:51:34.500 --> 01:51:38.859
would be much better honestly because 90 of the

01:51:38.859 --> 01:51:42.680
time i just have the main app on full screen

01:51:42.680 --> 01:51:46.079
and i just want to switch between apps and when

01:51:46.079 --> 01:51:49.039
i when i need to go to a different app i just

01:51:49.039 --> 01:51:51.520
press a button and the next app becomes full

01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:55.079
screen and that's it and i don't really like

01:51:55.079 --> 01:51:57.859
having you know three apps open and having them

01:51:57.859 --> 01:52:01.140
tiled and then yeah you can't really see what

01:52:01.140 --> 01:52:04.819
you want to see i can see the the merit in that

01:52:04.819 --> 01:52:07.159
i can see that for some workflows it makes sense

01:52:07.159 --> 01:52:10.920
but for me it didn't click yeah it's too much

01:52:10.920 --> 01:52:13.920
organizing it you waste a lot of time it defeats

01:52:13.920 --> 01:52:16.640
the purpose for me tiles are a mistake as well

01:52:16.640 --> 01:52:20.239
tiles are the exception right if i need to do

01:52:20.239 --> 01:52:23.140
something that requires me to use tiles i'll

01:52:23.140 --> 01:52:26.229
do it Like if you're a web developer and you

01:52:26.229 --> 01:52:28.050
need to code and see what's happening on the

01:52:28.050 --> 01:52:30.670
right on your browser, that's an exception. That's

01:52:30.670 --> 01:52:33.369
a case in which you could use tiles. But other

01:52:33.369 --> 01:52:37.729
than that, why go through the pain of having

01:52:37.729 --> 01:52:41.310
tiles, organizing them, moving them? No, it doesn't

01:52:41.310 --> 01:52:43.430
make sense. It's just a waste of time. That's

01:52:43.430 --> 01:52:48.510
my hot take. And yeah, tiles are a mistake, man.

01:52:48.609 --> 01:52:51.430
They are useful, but... they're an exception

01:52:51.430 --> 01:52:55.010
they're useful sometimes and even in that case

01:52:55.010 --> 01:52:56.750
you don't really need tiles you just need to

01:52:56.750 --> 01:52:59.489
have rectangle can do that you just have two

01:52:59.489 --> 01:53:02.710
apps half yeah exactly one one window cover the

01:53:02.710 --> 01:53:04.310
left half and the other window cover the right

01:53:04.310 --> 01:53:07.050
half and that's pretty much the same at that

01:53:07.050 --> 01:53:09.869
point yeah i use the window manager in a really

01:53:09.869 --> 01:53:15.310
basic way just put the app on the screen occupy

01:53:15.310 --> 01:53:18.630
most of the space but i i also have the other

01:53:19.170 --> 01:53:21.949
application on the side, right here, Skitty Notes.

01:53:22.210 --> 01:53:25.829
So you could use Yabai. Since your monitor is

01:53:25.829 --> 01:53:28.550
really big, you could use Yabai. This is the

01:53:28.550 --> 01:53:30.710
padding. On the right side, I have the padding.

01:53:30.829 --> 01:53:33.590
So you could configure a huge padding on the

01:53:33.590 --> 01:53:35.810
right, and you could configure a huge padding

01:53:35.810 --> 01:53:38.630
on the left of your monitor, right? So here,

01:53:38.770 --> 01:53:42.289
a padding here, and a padding here on the right

01:53:42.289 --> 01:53:45.189
in Yabai. And you could have your application

01:53:45.189 --> 01:53:50.800
centered on the screen at all times. And yeah,

01:53:50.920 --> 01:53:55.260
it's something that you can give a try as well.

01:53:57.239 --> 01:54:01.260
Definitely. I look into it. Yeah. And moving

01:54:01.260 --> 01:54:06.100
on to other topics, non -related stuff. Oh, by

01:54:06.100 --> 01:54:08.600
the way, I just want to thank the CEO, which

01:54:08.600 --> 01:54:12.880
is Web2Tree. I have sponsorships. Well, not sponsorships,

01:54:12.880 --> 01:54:16.140
YouTube members, right? And there's... One of

01:54:16.140 --> 01:54:19.760
the guys decided to get the membership, CEO membership.

01:54:19.800 --> 01:54:24.220
It's web23 .com. I'm just saying it right now

01:54:24.220 --> 01:54:27.699
because then I'll forget. So just want to appreciate

01:54:27.699 --> 01:54:31.079
and thank all the different guys that have become

01:54:31.079 --> 01:54:34.000
members as well. Do you have any thoughts on

01:54:34.000 --> 01:54:37.359
social media? Are you a slave of social media?

01:54:38.800 --> 01:54:42.340
I think we all are at this point. Do you consider

01:54:42.340 --> 01:54:47.699
YouTube social media? Yeah. I think then definitely

01:54:47.699 --> 01:54:52.119
that's where I spent most of my time. When it

01:54:52.119 --> 01:54:53.899
comes to social media, I deleted Instagram from

01:54:53.899 --> 01:54:57.239
my phone because it was just a huge time sink

01:54:57.239 --> 01:55:00.819
and I didn't get a lot of value out of it. There

01:55:00.819 --> 01:55:03.939
are some people that I like to stay in touch

01:55:03.939 --> 01:55:06.979
with and I had some cases where I reached out

01:55:06.979 --> 01:55:09.739
to someone over Instagram. That's, for example,

01:55:09.739 --> 01:55:13.279
also how I found my fitness coach that I've been

01:55:13.279 --> 01:55:18.140
working with. But overall, 99 % of the time,

01:55:18.159 --> 01:55:21.859
it's just a waste of time. So at least on YouTube,

01:55:22.119 --> 01:55:26.479
I see that as more of a high quality social media.

01:55:27.460 --> 01:55:30.319
You need to be a bit careful with shorts, in

01:55:30.319 --> 01:55:32.800
my opinion. And I do have an app that restricts

01:55:32.800 --> 01:55:36.180
the amount of shorts I can watch. Because, I

01:55:36.180 --> 01:55:37.600
mean, there are some people that make amazing

01:55:37.600 --> 01:55:39.619
shorts that are also informative. You learn something.

01:55:39.880 --> 01:55:43.340
But then there's always a lot of randomness.

01:55:43.720 --> 01:55:47.020
in that some point and then you just start looking

01:55:47.020 --> 01:55:48.819
at stuff that you didn't sign up for you know

01:55:48.819 --> 01:55:51.760
yeah yeah especially if it's stand -up comedy

01:55:51.760 --> 01:55:54.960
man if you watch one of stand -up and it's gonna

01:55:54.960 --> 01:55:56.859
show you a lot of stand -up and you're just gonna

01:55:56.859 --> 01:55:58.859
go to the next and the next and the next and

01:55:58.859 --> 01:56:02.560
next and yeah exactly like right now my my youtube

01:56:02.560 --> 01:56:04.619
is full of watches just because i bought a watch

01:56:04.619 --> 01:56:08.880
recently and like it's such a rabbit hole such

01:56:08.880 --> 01:56:11.930
a nerdy rabbit hole as well i don't I like watches,

01:56:11.989 --> 01:56:13.609
but I don't care about it so much. You know,

01:56:13.649 --> 01:56:17.310
I don't need to see it every day. I find the

01:56:17.310 --> 01:56:20.250
YouTube algorithm is a bit oversensitive. You

01:56:20.250 --> 01:56:23.010
know, you expressed the slightest bit of interest

01:56:23.010 --> 01:56:25.569
in a topic and then just, okay, that's your personality.

01:56:25.609 --> 01:56:28.130
You know, that's all you're going to see. I feel

01:56:28.130 --> 01:56:30.529
sorry for the guys that click on one of my videos

01:56:30.529 --> 01:56:33.199
because then they're going to get spammed. If

01:56:33.199 --> 01:56:36.079
you watch one of my videos, man, you're going

01:56:36.079 --> 01:56:39.180
to get all of them afterwards. Yeah, they're

01:56:39.180 --> 01:56:41.319
going to get sucked into the NeoVim rabbit hole.

01:56:41.579 --> 01:56:44.460
Man, NeoVim and then macOS, and they're just

01:56:44.460 --> 01:56:47.399
going to get lost for a couple months there.

01:56:47.819 --> 01:56:50.020
Yeah, and soon they find themselves becoming

01:56:50.020 --> 01:56:55.600
an arch user. Their partners are like, what happened,

01:56:55.699 --> 01:57:00.520
man? I just clicked on a video. Yeah, that's

01:57:00.520 --> 01:57:02.560
how it goes. yeah but it's really why we're all

01:57:02.560 --> 01:57:07.399
here yeah exactly primogen's fault man right

01:57:07.399 --> 01:57:10.859
now and how is it with the youtube analytics

01:57:10.859 --> 01:57:13.600
app like that because there's two apps you write

01:57:13.600 --> 01:57:16.399
youtube and if you do youtube you also install

01:57:16.399 --> 01:57:20.060
another app which is youtube studio and if there's

01:57:20.060 --> 01:57:21.859
someone out there that doesn't know what youtube

01:57:21.859 --> 01:57:24.180
studio is because this is something that people

01:57:24.180 --> 01:57:26.960
that do youtube use is an app that you use just

01:57:26.960 --> 01:57:29.460
to look at the analytics like how the videos

01:57:29.460 --> 01:57:32.350
did how the video is doing how many views it

01:57:32.350 --> 01:57:37.390
has likes comments it sucks you in it's hell

01:57:37.390 --> 01:57:41.550
it's horrible how has that been for you you don't

01:57:41.550 --> 01:57:44.189
post that often so maybe it's not a huge problem

01:57:44.189 --> 01:57:45.729
for you i don't know i just want to hear your

01:57:45.729 --> 01:57:49.250
thoughts there i think it is actually because

01:57:49.250 --> 01:57:53.510
for this exact reason i don't have so many videos

01:57:53.510 --> 01:57:58.020
so one bad video is more weight oh yeah grand

01:57:58.020 --> 01:58:02.479
scheme of my content you're not used to failing

01:58:02.479 --> 01:58:07.359
like i am yeah yeah exactly the other day i made

01:58:07.359 --> 01:58:11.680
videos about coolify do you know coolify it's

01:58:11.680 --> 01:58:15.779
like this basically a self -hosted vercel just

01:58:15.779 --> 01:58:19.359
open source okay so it allows you to self -host

01:58:19.359 --> 01:58:22.119
your own manage your server and self -host your

01:58:22.119 --> 01:58:25.699
own app and have like deployment workflows and

01:58:25.699 --> 01:58:29.619
stuff like that And these videos didn't perform

01:58:29.619 --> 01:58:32.079
as well as other videos. Now I think they got

01:58:32.079 --> 01:58:35.600
a little bit more traction. The one below actually

01:58:35.600 --> 01:58:40.140
was much worse. That's the job market. That was

01:58:40.140 --> 01:58:44.500
my worst video so far. You felt what I feel regularly.

01:58:44.720 --> 01:58:47.819
You get used to it. But it's a lot of work. It

01:58:47.819 --> 01:58:51.079
sucks because you put hours into these things

01:58:51.079 --> 01:58:55.579
and they just... Yeah. What happened? And the

01:58:55.579 --> 01:58:59.699
studio app, it roasts you. It shows you this

01:58:59.699 --> 01:59:03.260
video. People are not interested in this. Yeah,

01:59:03.399 --> 01:59:07.979
exactly. 85 % less people are watching it than

01:59:07.979 --> 01:59:10.979
usual. And it doesn't get enough engagement and

01:59:10.979 --> 01:59:12.939
this kind of thing. And then it compares it to

01:59:12.939 --> 01:59:17.680
your other videos. And you feel a little bit

01:59:17.680 --> 01:59:20.640
like you're now stuck with doing what worked

01:59:20.640 --> 01:59:23.220
in the past. And you can't talk about something

01:59:23.220 --> 01:59:28.239
else. And I don't really like that. I want to

01:59:28.239 --> 01:59:32.539
talk about what I like to talk about at the end

01:59:32.539 --> 01:59:34.359
of the day. Yeah, the name of your channel is

01:59:34.359 --> 01:59:37.779
Henry Misk. It's not Henry NeoVim Misk, right?

01:59:38.619 --> 01:59:43.899
Exactly. And I mean, Vim and NeoVim, I do have

01:59:43.899 --> 01:59:45.659
a lot more to share on that. It's a topic that

01:59:45.659 --> 01:59:48.420
I'm really passionate about. And I think this

01:59:48.420 --> 01:59:51.319
will be one of the core pillars also going forward.

01:59:53.319 --> 01:59:55.000
If I just want to talk about, I have a video

01:59:55.000 --> 01:59:57.920
about watches, a short actually. If I just want

01:59:57.920 --> 02:00:00.140
to talk about watches, then I'm just going to

02:00:00.140 --> 02:00:01.699
fucking do it and make a video about watches

02:00:01.699 --> 02:00:04.279
because, you know, that's what interests me and

02:00:04.279 --> 02:00:08.180
I'm feeling it at that moment, you know? Yeah.

02:00:08.399 --> 02:00:10.760
What are your thoughts on niching down? Because

02:00:10.760 --> 02:00:14.380
that's YouTube advice, you know? So pick a topic,

02:00:14.520 --> 02:00:18.720
stick to it and niche down as much as possible.

02:00:18.779 --> 02:00:21.079
So if it's going to be near him, just do near

02:00:21.079 --> 02:00:23.670
him. And that's it. That's... general advice

02:00:23.670 --> 02:00:26.130
out there i don't like that at all i don't want

02:00:26.130 --> 02:00:29.630
to do you just just new of him if i install new

02:00:29.630 --> 02:00:32.029
event today that's fine if i install emacs tomorrow

02:00:32.029 --> 02:00:34.569
i'll make a video about it if i install mac os

02:00:34.569 --> 02:00:37.470
if i install arch if i install windows if i install

02:00:37.470 --> 02:00:40.750
whatever i want to install i just want to share

02:00:40.750 --> 02:00:43.329
it out there what are your thoughts on just sticking

02:00:43.329 --> 02:00:46.050
to to a topic because that's what they tell you

02:00:46.050 --> 02:00:50.270
to do right yeah i have a few thoughts on that

02:00:50.270 --> 02:00:56.550
i think it makes sense to stick to a core topic

02:00:56.550 --> 02:01:00.329
that you want to be known for. And most of the

02:01:00.329 --> 02:01:02.550
time it should be about that. But then also I

02:01:02.550 --> 02:01:05.529
see people like, let's pick Joe Rogan, for example.

02:01:05.970 --> 02:01:10.750
Like he's a podcaster and he also shares his

02:01:10.750 --> 02:01:13.149
other interests, right? Like he talks about,

02:01:13.210 --> 02:01:16.909
he likes hunting, he likes MMA. And I believe

02:01:16.909 --> 02:01:20.529
that opens up the possibility to create actual

02:01:20.529 --> 02:01:24.460
fans and super fans, really resonate with Joe

02:01:24.460 --> 02:01:27.300
Rogan as a person. If he was just interviewing

02:01:27.300 --> 02:01:29.659
people and not sharing any personal interests

02:01:29.659 --> 02:01:33.180
or whatever, then he's just a podcaster. I mean,

02:01:33.199 --> 02:01:36.760
you can like it and follow him, but if you're

02:01:36.760 --> 02:01:40.380
also into MMA, then chances are you'll become

02:01:40.380 --> 02:01:42.680
a big fan of Joe Rogan. And if you're into MMA

02:01:42.680 --> 02:01:44.939
and hunting as well, you're going to become a

02:01:44.939 --> 02:01:49.520
super fan. And so even though I think it makes

02:01:49.520 --> 02:01:52.649
sense to stick to a core topic, it also makes

02:01:52.649 --> 02:01:55.449
sense to share just who you are as a person and

02:01:55.449 --> 02:01:57.909
this is also what i want to explore more because

02:01:57.909 --> 02:02:01.470
i haven't done that a lot in the past but i believe

02:02:01.470 --> 02:02:04.689
that's really valuable because that shows you

02:02:04.689 --> 02:02:07.189
are a human and that gives the possibility for

02:02:07.189 --> 02:02:13.069
people to to connect with you and actually yeah

02:02:13.069 --> 02:02:16.729
you know not just know you for for vim but know

02:02:16.729 --> 02:02:19.109
you for who you are as a person and i guess it's

02:02:19.109 --> 02:02:23.420
still possible to pivot over time But maybe it

02:02:23.420 --> 02:02:25.220
shouldn't be very abrupt. It should be maybe

02:02:25.220 --> 02:02:29.960
into ancillary topics. Yeah, gradually. Yeah,

02:02:29.979 --> 02:02:31.619
that makes sense. And then gradually talk about

02:02:31.619 --> 02:02:34.800
other things. Like Luke Smith, I believe, he's

02:02:34.800 --> 02:02:36.760
doing something completely different now, right?

02:02:36.880 --> 02:02:40.020
Like he's on a farm and he did these philosophy

02:02:40.020 --> 02:02:44.680
videos. But he had a huge fan base just talking

02:02:44.680 --> 02:02:48.800
about Vim and things like that. It might have

02:02:48.800 --> 02:02:54.199
been a little bit abrupt. But I guess you can

02:02:54.199 --> 02:02:57.739
still do it. So basically create a cult. That's

02:02:57.739 --> 02:03:01.039
what I'll do. So when I gradually switch into

02:03:01.039 --> 02:03:05.340
Emacs, all of these guys, the ones in the chat,

02:03:05.579 --> 02:03:08.260
they will not even notice it, but they will have

02:03:08.260 --> 02:03:10.739
Emacs installed and they will be looking at their

02:03:10.739 --> 02:03:13.239
email in Emacs and calendar and all that stuff.

02:03:13.520 --> 02:03:16.359
They'll be following my cult. So that's what

02:03:16.359 --> 02:03:22.119
you have to basically do, right? Yeah. okay and

02:03:22.119 --> 02:03:25.800
do you have any thoughts on drugs and alcohol

02:03:25.800 --> 02:03:28.920
you don't shy away from sensitive topics yeah

02:03:28.920 --> 02:03:33.100
i don't shy away from sensitive topics yeah i

02:03:33.100 --> 02:03:37.300
mean i have no problem as such with drugs or

02:03:37.300 --> 02:03:40.479
alcohol it depends of course like on the amount

02:03:40.479 --> 02:03:42.420
of abuse like if you're an alcoholic or like

02:03:42.420 --> 02:03:45.520
an addict that's of course a different story

02:03:45.520 --> 02:03:52.189
but in general i don't have any fundamentalist

02:03:52.189 --> 02:03:54.609
beliefs or something like this that this is like

02:03:54.609 --> 02:03:56.750
fundamentally wrong or anything like that so

02:03:56.750 --> 02:04:00.210
i drink sometimes but not regularly like maybe

02:04:00.210 --> 02:04:03.289
every other week i have a glass or so but also

02:04:03.289 --> 02:04:06.789
not in huge quantities it used to be a bit different

02:04:06.789 --> 02:04:11.289
like you know early 20s this kind of thing but

02:04:11.289 --> 02:04:16.590
did it ever go out of control or no not to the

02:04:16.590 --> 02:04:19.689
point where like i was addicted or anything but

02:04:19.689 --> 02:04:22.159
definitely moments where it drank way too much

02:04:22.159 --> 02:04:24.840
that's for sure i think a lot of people had that

02:04:24.840 --> 02:04:28.920
experience i never took any hard drugs i studied

02:04:28.920 --> 02:04:32.000
in the netherlands so there's also no way around

02:04:32.000 --> 02:04:37.439
weed because it's legal there that's also never

02:04:37.439 --> 02:04:41.800
like a lot or very regularly just you know trying

02:04:41.800 --> 02:04:45.260
it i am very curious these days though about

02:04:45.260 --> 02:04:49.949
psychedelics and the application of psychedelics

02:04:49.949 --> 02:04:55.409
not like as a party drug but more for to learn

02:04:55.409 --> 02:04:59.850
about yourself and you know get a bit more to

02:04:59.850 --> 02:05:03.329
the bottom of more existential questions like

02:05:03.329 --> 02:05:07.210
ayahuasca stuff or mushrooms or yeah that kind

02:05:07.210 --> 02:05:10.649
of stuff i also i got this this book from from

02:05:10.649 --> 02:05:13.029
my fiance she gave it to me sometime back i still

02:05:13.029 --> 02:05:16.520
have to to finish it. It's called How to Change

02:05:16.520 --> 02:05:18.699
Your Mind by Michael Pollan. Do you know it?

02:05:18.920 --> 02:05:24.460
No. It's basically about this research with psychedelics

02:05:24.460 --> 02:05:29.140
and how they're gaining more momentum in research,

02:05:29.279 --> 02:05:33.619
especially to cure addictions and psychological

02:05:33.619 --> 02:05:41.960
disorders and diseases. For example, I think

02:05:41.960 --> 02:05:45.119
psilocybin or something like this. has been in

02:05:45.119 --> 02:05:50.220
the research the most effective treatment to

02:05:50.220 --> 02:05:54.000
cure heroin addiction and i think that's because

02:05:54.000 --> 02:05:56.720
they have like therapy like they don't just take

02:05:56.720 --> 02:05:58.859
it and then they're cured but there's like therapy

02:05:58.859 --> 02:06:02.060
sessions that are kind of guided and stuff like

02:06:02.060 --> 02:06:05.279
this that's what i understand from from the research

02:06:05.279 --> 02:06:06.979
so far and what i've read about the topic so

02:06:06.979 --> 02:06:09.960
far and then they administer this psychedelic

02:06:10.279 --> 02:06:13.119
And a lot of times the root cause why people

02:06:13.119 --> 02:06:16.579
started taking heroin in the first place is trauma

02:06:16.579 --> 02:06:19.479
in the life or something similar. And they're

02:06:19.479 --> 02:06:22.680
unable to resolve the trauma just on their own

02:06:22.680 --> 02:06:26.199
by themselves. So they have these guided sessions

02:06:26.199 --> 02:06:30.079
and the psychedelic kind of helps them get to

02:06:30.079 --> 02:06:33.399
the root cause and understand what led them to

02:06:33.399 --> 02:06:35.079
the point where they are in the first place.

02:06:35.619 --> 02:06:40.869
So it helps to break these barriers. Like I'm

02:06:40.869 --> 02:06:43.970
a total newbie in this topic, but I think it's

02:06:43.970 --> 02:06:46.310
super fascinating that this is even a possibility.

02:06:46.970 --> 02:06:50.310
And yeah, I think the power of psychedelics is

02:06:50.310 --> 02:06:55.250
very underappreciated, but I haven't tried them

02:06:55.250 --> 02:06:58.130
myself. I'm just very curious. Oh yeah, makes

02:06:58.130 --> 02:07:01.149
sense. That is one of the cases in which I would

02:07:01.149 --> 02:07:04.670
try them if I'm deep into heroin and I cannot

02:07:04.670 --> 02:07:07.390
go out because it's not as simple as I'm not

02:07:07.390 --> 02:07:10.130
going to do it anymore, right? I'm in favor of

02:07:10.130 --> 02:07:13.770
maybe giving a try, experiment, see if it works,

02:07:13.890 --> 02:07:16.130
because what else can you lose? You know, when

02:07:16.130 --> 02:07:19.430
you're in that level of addiction and especially

02:07:19.430 --> 02:07:23.109
with something like heroin, what are you going

02:07:23.109 --> 02:07:26.710
to lose by trying? You know, if it works, awesome,

02:07:26.909 --> 02:07:30.670
you know, but if it doesn't, well, you're just

02:07:30.670 --> 02:07:34.590
going to. So, but my stance on drugs usually

02:07:34.590 --> 02:07:39.159
is if you haven't opened that door, that. You

02:07:39.159 --> 02:07:40.720
shouldn't be opening it because you're going

02:07:40.720 --> 02:07:43.880
to access stuff that you are not supposed to

02:07:43.880 --> 02:07:47.840
unlock. Just don't do it. That's my general advice.

02:07:48.199 --> 02:07:51.880
And it depends as well on your personality. I'm

02:07:51.880 --> 02:07:54.920
pretty addictive. I went all in alcohol. I went

02:07:54.920 --> 02:07:58.500
all in drugs, you know, hard drugs, you know,

02:07:58.500 --> 02:08:03.880
and marijuana every day for a long time. Addictive

02:08:03.880 --> 02:08:08.380
completely. Oh. My personality does not play

02:08:08.380 --> 02:08:13.140
well with drugs. So I guess that has a lot to

02:08:13.140 --> 02:08:16.020
do as well. There's people that control it and

02:08:16.020 --> 02:08:18.399
it's like, I'm going to try and leave it there,

02:08:18.500 --> 02:08:23.060
you know. But yeah, I guess I speak based on

02:08:23.060 --> 02:08:26.119
my own experience. It wasn't good. So I just

02:08:26.119 --> 02:08:28.960
try to avoid it, you know, for other people that

02:08:28.960 --> 02:08:31.890
haven't gone through that experience. Is it the

02:08:31.890 --> 02:08:33.529
same with drinking for you? Like you don't drink

02:08:33.529 --> 02:08:36.489
ever? No, not at all. I haven't drank in 10 years.

02:08:36.829 --> 02:08:40.550
I can't. I'm an alcoholic, you know? So the only

02:08:40.550 --> 02:08:46.649
thing that I drink now is 0 % beers. Yeah, I'm

02:08:46.649 --> 02:08:50.829
an alcoholic. I cannot drink. If I drink, that's

02:08:50.829 --> 02:08:54.550
just going to ignite the flame and it's just

02:08:54.550 --> 02:08:58.199
going to explode and I'll go back. No. And one

02:08:58.199 --> 02:09:00.880
thing is going to lead to the other. I'll drink.

02:09:00.920 --> 02:09:05.159
I'll smoke. I'll do cocaine. No. Oh, wow. Yeah,

02:09:05.260 --> 02:09:09.560
I can see that. Yeah. Me and my wife, we both

02:09:09.560 --> 02:09:13.119
were living the crazy life. Man, we both of us

02:09:13.119 --> 02:09:16.699
were crazy. None of us stopped. And that's a

02:09:16.699 --> 02:09:19.340
bad combination. Usually there's a people crazy

02:09:19.340 --> 02:09:22.979
and one calm. It wasn't our case. And it went,

02:09:23.119 --> 02:09:28.180
it didn't go well. So we just stopped. Not because

02:09:28.180 --> 02:09:30.979
we could do it. I'm not saying it's easy. And

02:09:30.979 --> 02:09:33.619
that if you drink, you just know, man, it is

02:09:33.619 --> 02:09:37.319
impossible to stop drinking. I was lucky. That's

02:09:37.319 --> 02:09:40.239
what happened. I was lucky. I was able to quit.

02:09:40.939 --> 02:09:44.260
And I cannot do it anymore because it's really

02:09:44.260 --> 02:09:46.720
dangerous. So I just completely caught it. No,

02:09:46.819 --> 02:09:49.800
I'm not doing it again. Hopefully. You never

02:09:49.800 --> 02:09:52.939
know. But hopefully. That makes sense. It's also

02:09:52.939 --> 02:09:56.659
very... I mean, it shows a deep level of self

02:09:56.659 --> 02:10:00.619
-reflection if you're able to know that about

02:10:00.619 --> 02:10:02.359
yourself and to realize that about yourself,

02:10:02.460 --> 02:10:04.939
that you have that kind of personality trait

02:10:04.939 --> 02:10:09.100
that tends towards addiction. Yeah, no, I can't.

02:10:09.100 --> 02:10:14.220
And my daughter is there. No, she has never seen

02:10:14.220 --> 02:10:17.760
me drink, and I don't want her to see that. No,

02:10:17.899 --> 02:10:20.680
it wasn't good, and it's not going to be good,

02:10:20.739 --> 02:10:25.329
so I just... completely i don't go to my dad

02:10:25.329 --> 02:10:29.590
drinks you know he's 65 years old he still drinks

02:10:29.590 --> 02:10:35.229
and i'm like why man me and my four brothers

02:10:35.229 --> 02:10:39.310
we were we all we are alcoholics you know and

02:10:39.310 --> 02:10:42.170
none of us is drinking at the moment and he still

02:10:42.170 --> 02:10:46.289
drinks and it's like man like don't you see that

02:10:46.289 --> 02:10:49.260
we're trying to recover it's i don't go to Places

02:10:49.260 --> 02:10:51.680
where people are drinking because it's not good

02:10:51.680 --> 02:10:53.760
for me, you know. But it's because of the condition

02:10:53.760 --> 02:10:55.640
that I have. It's a disease, basically. Being

02:10:55.640 --> 02:10:57.979
an alcoholic is a disease. You have to treat

02:10:57.979 --> 02:11:03.000
it as such and just be careful. Take care of

02:11:03.000 --> 02:11:06.079
yourself. I mean, it makes sense, right? If you

02:11:06.079 --> 02:11:09.600
can have a few beers every other weekend and

02:11:09.600 --> 02:11:11.460
then let go, then I think it's completely fine.

02:11:11.619 --> 02:11:14.439
But if you know you can't or you struggle with

02:11:14.439 --> 02:11:17.520
that, then it fully makes sense to completely

02:11:17.520 --> 02:11:20.739
stay away. Yeah, yep, yep. Do you have any thoughts

02:11:20.739 --> 02:11:23.859
on a supreme being like God? Do you have any

02:11:23.859 --> 02:11:26.199
thoughts there, anything you want to share? Another

02:11:26.199 --> 02:11:28.439
sensitive question. Another sensitive topic,

02:11:28.520 --> 02:11:30.260
yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to get canceled

02:11:30.260 --> 02:11:35.520
before we're even famous. Right. Never even going

02:11:35.520 --> 02:11:41.560
to happen. Well, you know, I tolerate all religions

02:11:41.560 --> 02:11:44.640
and any beliefs people might have and traditions

02:11:44.640 --> 02:11:48.579
people might have, as long as they don't. harm

02:11:48.579 --> 02:11:51.720
anyone or you know as long as we're all free

02:11:51.720 --> 02:11:53.899
to believe what we want i have no problem with

02:11:53.899 --> 02:11:58.960
any belief and so personally i grew up christian

02:11:58.960 --> 02:12:03.859
on paper at least my family in practice was more

02:12:03.859 --> 02:12:07.140
agnostic and so this is also kind of how i've

02:12:07.140 --> 02:12:12.420
been raised i at this point i am not part of

02:12:12.420 --> 02:12:15.800
any church because in germany i i exited the

02:12:15.800 --> 02:12:19.409
church Because, I don't know if you know this,

02:12:19.510 --> 02:12:24.189
but in Germany you have church tax. Oh no, like

02:12:24.189 --> 02:12:27.590
you have to give a certain amount of your salary

02:12:27.590 --> 02:12:30.970
to the church? Yeah, so when I had my first payslip

02:12:30.970 --> 02:12:33.609
ever, I looked at it and there was like one line

02:12:33.609 --> 02:12:36.210
that says church tax. And it was actually a lot

02:12:36.210 --> 02:12:37.729
of money and I wasn't making a lot of money at

02:12:37.729 --> 02:12:41.399
that time. I cannot afford this right now. I

02:12:41.399 --> 02:12:45.260
cannot afford that. And the thing is, in Germany,

02:12:45.279 --> 02:12:48.420
this is kind of a subscription that you opt in

02:12:48.420 --> 02:12:53.060
by default, but you can still opt out. But then

02:12:53.060 --> 02:12:54.920
you need to leave the church. So that's what

02:12:54.920 --> 02:13:00.699
I did. Someone else made this experience. And

02:13:00.699 --> 02:13:02.720
it's a lot of money. It's actually a lot of money.

02:13:02.880 --> 02:13:06.880
Like what percentage is it? don't know what the

02:13:06.880 --> 02:13:08.739
percentage was but in my case it was like 50

02:13:08.739 --> 02:13:12.000
euros or something oh well that's like two times

02:13:12.000 --> 02:13:16.420
chat gpt uh -huh yeah yeah and i'm not even that

02:13:16.420 --> 02:13:22.539
religious and the thing is like i i have no problem

02:13:22.539 --> 02:13:27.979
with that per se it's just that i have a little

02:13:27.979 --> 02:13:32.899
bit of how do i say it without offending anyone

02:13:32.899 --> 02:13:36.659
but there have been so many scandals around the

02:13:36.659 --> 02:13:42.539
catholic church in recent years that i simply

02:13:42.539 --> 02:13:45.460
it's not that i don't trust them but they also

02:13:45.460 --> 02:13:48.880
haven't really earned my trust like i i'm not

02:13:48.880 --> 02:13:51.859
sure if i'm giving them money that it will be

02:13:51.859 --> 02:13:56.060
used for something that i agree with so i'd rather

02:13:56.060 --> 02:13:59.619
not i mean i'm not against them in any way or

02:13:59.619 --> 02:14:03.199
anything but at least i don't want to give them

02:14:03.199 --> 02:14:06.159
money at this point maybe they can convince me

02:14:06.159 --> 02:14:08.319
that what they're doing is great i haven't really

02:14:08.319 --> 02:14:12.600
dig deep into that then maybe it's fine but at

02:14:12.600 --> 02:14:17.079
this point i'm not convinced about that so that's

02:14:17.079 --> 02:14:21.060
why i opened it out and regarding supreme being

02:14:21.060 --> 02:14:25.840
so i actually i'm quite open you know i'm not

02:14:25.840 --> 02:14:29.439
very set on god does exist or it doesn't or you

02:14:29.439 --> 02:14:32.279
know one religion is correct or the other i'm

02:14:32.279 --> 02:14:37.270
still kind of in the open sort of on these questions.

02:14:37.970 --> 02:14:42.609
And I don't have a final answer, but something,

02:14:42.810 --> 02:14:45.430
this is a thought experiment by Alan Watts that

02:14:45.430 --> 02:14:48.329
I found really insightful that has really shaped

02:14:48.329 --> 02:14:52.050
my perspective on things. You know Alan Watts?

02:14:52.270 --> 02:14:55.550
Nope. I'm an ignorant. I just don't know about

02:14:55.550 --> 02:14:57.869
authors, books or anything. I just know about

02:14:57.869 --> 02:15:00.810
terminals, NeoVim. My wife is the one that knows

02:15:00.810 --> 02:15:06.020
about that stuff. He was this philosopher, American

02:15:06.020 --> 02:15:10.220
philosopher. I think it was in the 60s and 70s.

02:15:10.260 --> 02:15:12.920
There's still a lot of recordings from him on

02:15:12.920 --> 02:15:16.180
YouTube. And he just talks about all kinds of

02:15:16.180 --> 02:15:19.039
things. I think he was also big in psychedelics,

02:15:19.039 --> 02:15:22.000
but don't quote me on this. Anyway, he had this

02:15:22.000 --> 02:15:26.500
thought experiment. And this really blew my mind

02:15:26.500 --> 02:15:29.680
and changed how I think about this topic, even

02:15:29.680 --> 02:15:32.920
though it didn't lead me to a final answer. Do

02:15:32.920 --> 02:15:34.739
you want to hear it? Yep, I want to hear it for

02:15:34.739 --> 02:15:38.460
sure. Okay, so the thought experiment by Alan

02:15:38.460 --> 02:15:41.260
Watts goes something like this. So imagine you

02:15:41.260 --> 02:15:46.979
have the ability to every night dream any dream

02:15:46.979 --> 02:15:52.319
you want to dream. And the dream lasts 75 years

02:15:52.319 --> 02:15:54.020
or something like this or any duration that you

02:15:54.020 --> 02:15:59.020
want really. That's your superpower. So what

02:15:59.020 --> 02:16:02.939
we would probably do is... initially just have

02:16:02.939 --> 02:16:07.060
every kind of pleasure that we want to have right

02:16:07.060 --> 02:16:09.359
because we can decide what we want to do in this

02:16:09.359 --> 02:16:12.220
dream and the dream lasts a lifetime so you would

02:16:12.220 --> 02:16:15.060
live like a life just pleasure doing whatever

02:16:15.060 --> 02:16:19.859
you want and maybe after you know a hundred maybe

02:16:19.859 --> 02:16:22.560
a thousand nights like this it's going to be

02:16:22.560 --> 02:16:29.140
a bit boring so you would start to spice things

02:16:29.140 --> 02:16:32.329
up a little bit and make something happen that

02:16:32.329 --> 02:16:35.209
you don't know it's going to happen. Something's

02:16:35.209 --> 02:16:36.989
going to happen that you don't know what it is.

02:16:38.850 --> 02:16:41.629
And then you would maybe come out of this dream

02:16:41.629 --> 02:16:44.690
and think, whoa, this was a close call. That

02:16:44.690 --> 02:16:49.510
was kind of interesting. And then you would venture

02:16:49.510 --> 02:16:51.450
out further and further and make bigger and bigger

02:16:51.450 --> 02:16:54.709
gambles about what you can do in these dreams.

02:16:55.610 --> 02:16:59.510
And at the end of the day, at some point, you

02:16:59.510 --> 02:17:03.170
would dream, exactly where you are right now

02:17:03.170 --> 02:17:05.909
you'd be dreaming the dream of living the life

02:17:05.909 --> 02:17:07.969
that you're living right now that would be within

02:17:07.969 --> 02:17:12.729
the infinite realm of possibilities of this ability

02:17:12.729 --> 02:17:21.930
so what he says is that it is kind of like you

02:17:21.930 --> 02:17:25.090
you would be pretending that you don't have this

02:17:25.090 --> 02:17:30.459
ability to create these dreams But you are actually

02:17:30.459 --> 02:17:33.620
the creator of these dreams. And I'm not saying

02:17:33.620 --> 02:17:36.360
that this is correct or incorrect, but I think

02:17:36.360 --> 02:17:40.180
it's a very interesting idea to play with and

02:17:40.180 --> 02:17:45.139
to entertain. And yeah, that's pretty much how

02:17:45.139 --> 02:17:46.920
the thought experiment goes. What do you think?

02:17:47.420 --> 02:17:50.340
So in the end, you would end up acting the way

02:17:50.340 --> 02:17:52.799
that you're acting right now, even though you

02:17:52.799 --> 02:17:54.940
could do many other things. You could do whatever

02:17:54.940 --> 02:17:56.680
you want. Because you said at the beginning,

02:17:56.760 --> 02:17:59.860
you'll get bored of... drugs, alcohol, all that

02:17:59.860 --> 02:18:01.520
stuff. And in the end, you're going to end up

02:18:01.520 --> 02:18:05.700
doing what you're doing right now, correct? Exactly.

02:18:05.700 --> 02:18:07.420
You would impose further and further limitations

02:18:07.420 --> 02:18:12.799
and randomness into those dreams. And within

02:18:12.799 --> 02:18:15.299
all the possibilities, the infinite nights and

02:18:15.299 --> 02:18:18.559
infinite years, at some point, you would arrive

02:18:18.559 --> 02:18:21.360
exactly where you are right now. That's interesting.

02:18:21.799 --> 02:18:27.260
Interesting. And you don't have any... Beliefs

02:18:27.260 --> 02:18:30.899
then. On a supreme force. Or something out there.

02:18:33.520 --> 02:18:37.120
Well I guess. I don't have any beliefs. I'm saying

02:18:37.120 --> 02:18:41.840
like. I'm willing to entertain. Different ideas.

02:18:42.299 --> 02:18:44.860
But I haven't arrived at a final conclusion yet.

02:18:44.920 --> 02:18:49.379
That is definite. Definitive. I just think that.

02:18:51.340 --> 02:18:56.340
Like this are very interesting. And. in this

02:18:56.340 --> 02:18:59.639
case let's say this turns out to be true then

02:18:59.639 --> 02:19:03.940
the supreme being would be that basically in

02:19:03.940 --> 02:19:07.559
this world god would be an infinite mind that

02:19:07.559 --> 02:19:10.739
is able to imagine everything including this

02:19:10.739 --> 02:19:16.319
life that we're living right now so it's not

02:19:16.319 --> 02:19:18.420
really a being as such it's more like a mind

02:19:18.420 --> 02:19:21.280
in which everything exists and i'm not saying

02:19:21.280 --> 02:19:23.079
that this is correct or not i'm saying this is

02:19:23.079 --> 02:19:28.000
a interesting thoughts to entertain yeah man

02:19:28.000 --> 02:19:32.379
we try to understand something that we don't

02:19:32.379 --> 02:19:36.500
understand right uh something maybe god is an

02:19:36.500 --> 02:19:41.280
arch user something out there creates universes

02:19:41.280 --> 02:19:44.700
right they're being created they're being destroyed

02:19:44.700 --> 02:19:49.799
galaxies and uh We're trying to understand all

02:19:49.799 --> 02:19:52.079
this that doesn't make sense. It's like if an

02:19:52.079 --> 02:19:55.120
ant was trying to understand, you know, a country,

02:19:55.200 --> 02:19:58.899
it can't. It's way too big. So complicated stuff.

02:19:59.059 --> 02:20:03.520
No one has the answer. I think you find God when

02:20:03.520 --> 02:20:06.780
tough stuff happens to you. Like in my case,

02:20:06.920 --> 02:20:10.540
my addiction and all that, it was thing to something.

02:20:10.899 --> 02:20:15.079
I want to think it's God, not Jesus Christ, because

02:20:15.079 --> 02:20:19.719
that's the way that I was raised. I don't know.

02:20:21.260 --> 02:20:26.540
We cannot understand it. I think it has way too

02:20:26.540 --> 02:20:31.739
many shapes. It's understandable. So it's just

02:20:31.739 --> 02:20:34.680
going to get to you the way that it has to get

02:20:34.680 --> 02:20:38.319
to you. That's going to be either science. It's

02:20:38.319 --> 02:20:39.979
going to be Jesus. It's going to be Krishna.

02:20:40.100 --> 02:20:42.760
It's going to be Buddha. It's going to be however

02:20:42.760 --> 02:20:48.159
you understand it. I don't know. what what can

02:20:48.159 --> 02:20:50.299
i say about it i don't understand and no one

02:20:50.299 --> 02:20:53.440
does so we just have to i guess whatever makes

02:20:53.440 --> 02:20:55.899
you a better person as long as it makes you a

02:20:55.899 --> 02:20:58.280
better person it works that's fine right and

02:20:58.280 --> 02:21:03.020
like i said in another call imposing it to other

02:21:03.020 --> 02:21:05.620
people that's where the problem is you know i'm

02:21:05.620 --> 02:21:08.659
not gonna come to you and say hendrick you have

02:21:08.659 --> 02:21:11.139
to believe in krishna because that's the no man

02:21:11.139 --> 02:21:15.479
what saying do i have into what you want to believe

02:21:15.840 --> 02:21:19.159
I have no saying at all. Right. Just stick to

02:21:19.159 --> 02:21:22.059
what it works for you. Respect everyone else

02:21:22.059 --> 02:21:24.360
and just don't mess with people and don't harm

02:21:24.360 --> 02:21:28.399
them. Right. Exactly. We are all like, you know,

02:21:28.399 --> 02:21:30.899
here and being kind of lost about things and

02:21:30.899 --> 02:21:34.840
figuring this life out. And, you know, I mean,

02:21:34.840 --> 02:21:37.899
maybe there are people who are closer to it than

02:21:37.899 --> 02:21:43.200
than others. But still, you know. Nobody likes

02:21:43.200 --> 02:21:46.620
unsolicited advice. Yeah. And they don't know.

02:21:46.940 --> 02:21:49.600
Nobody knows, man. Not even the gurus. Yeah,

02:21:49.600 --> 02:21:52.500
that's also a possibility. Yeah. So not even

02:21:52.500 --> 02:21:55.959
the gurus that tell me what to do, you know,

02:21:55.959 --> 02:21:58.719
and that help me, they don't know, right? So

02:21:58.719 --> 02:22:01.819
we're just connecting to something out there

02:22:01.819 --> 02:22:04.559
that is making us better people. And whatever

02:22:04.559 --> 02:22:06.979
that it is for you, you know, it's not going

02:22:06.979 --> 02:22:09.100
to be the same for everyone, right? So yeah,

02:22:09.219 --> 02:22:13.159
unsolicited advice. Same thing happens with vegetarianism.

02:22:13.180 --> 02:22:15.440
I don't go around in life and tell everyone,

02:22:15.540 --> 02:22:18.180
hey, you should stop eating meat. Hey, you're

02:22:18.180 --> 02:22:22.639
eating. Because I'm just going to not cause the

02:22:22.639 --> 02:22:25.420
effect that I want, right? I don't want animals

02:22:25.420 --> 02:22:28.520
to be killed. But I'm not going to be saying

02:22:28.520 --> 02:22:31.260
it to everyone, to my friends. None of my friends

02:22:31.260 --> 02:22:34.959
is vegetarian. None. Of my family members is

02:22:34.959 --> 02:22:37.440
vegetarian. Nobody. But I'm not going to be like,

02:22:37.579 --> 02:22:39.940
hey, you guys have to stop eating meat. Because

02:22:39.940 --> 02:22:43.120
I'm going to do the opposite. They're just going

02:22:43.120 --> 02:22:45.219
to hate it. They're not going to be open about

02:22:45.219 --> 02:22:48.780
it. And I'm just going to. No, I'm not going

02:22:48.780 --> 02:22:52.319
to achieve what I want. So productive. Yeah.

02:22:52.399 --> 02:22:54.620
What do you think of that? Do you go around in

02:22:54.620 --> 02:22:57.219
life and tell them, hey, you should stop killing

02:22:57.219 --> 02:23:00.809
animals and stop eating meat and all that? yeah

02:23:00.809 --> 02:23:03.350
exactly also everyone's life story and situation

02:23:03.350 --> 02:23:08.110
is very different for example in in may of this

02:23:08.110 --> 02:23:10.409
year i was in south korea and cycling through

02:23:10.409 --> 02:23:13.989
the country and so i spent a lot of time in the

02:23:13.989 --> 02:23:17.870
south korean countryside during that time and

02:23:17.870 --> 02:23:20.270
i basically had to eat whatever was available

02:23:20.270 --> 02:23:22.809
there like there it was impossible to to be a

02:23:22.809 --> 02:23:26.290
vegetarian and also like i don't speak even the

02:23:26.290 --> 02:23:28.110
language it was super hard to communicate with

02:23:28.110 --> 02:23:31.250
people even And I'm not going to be there telling

02:23:31.250 --> 02:23:35.989
like a 70 -year -old grandma who runs a restaurant

02:23:35.989 --> 02:23:39.430
in the countryside to like, well, can you maybe...

02:23:39.430 --> 02:23:42.809
I'm a vegetarian. I know you don't know what

02:23:42.809 --> 02:23:45.790
this is, but can you... I don't like the meals

02:23:45.790 --> 02:23:50.670
the way you make them, you know? Like everybody's

02:23:50.670 --> 02:23:53.870
life situation is very different. And there are

02:23:53.870 --> 02:23:59.280
people who have... conditions where they can't

02:23:59.280 --> 02:24:01.920
do that maybe they live in a place where they

02:24:01.920 --> 02:24:04.000
don't have good availability like I mean in Barcelona

02:24:04.000 --> 02:24:06.520
it's very easy but in other places it's very

02:24:06.520 --> 02:24:08.200
hard so I would also understand if you're not

02:24:08.200 --> 02:24:10.399
vegetarian because your environment is not very

02:24:10.399 --> 02:24:15.440
supportive of that and even that at the end of

02:24:15.440 --> 02:24:18.000
the day there's still a debate if this is actually

02:24:18.000 --> 02:24:23.340
the the best you know and I'll be all and I'm

02:24:23.340 --> 02:24:26.959
not convinced that everyone would benefit from

02:24:26.959 --> 02:24:29.200
being a vegetarian maybe some people not you

02:24:29.200 --> 02:24:33.780
know but it's something that that works well

02:24:33.780 --> 02:24:35.600
for me and has been working quite well so i keep

02:24:35.600 --> 02:24:38.719
doing it and it's aligned with what i believe

02:24:38.719 --> 02:24:41.459
in but i also understand if for someone else

02:24:41.459 --> 02:24:45.319
it doesn't click yeah i just respect everyone

02:24:45.319 --> 02:24:48.979
basically right just let them do what they want

02:24:48.979 --> 02:24:51.600
to do same thing i say to my daughter right so

02:24:52.190 --> 02:24:54.889
She's the only kid in school, like in the entire

02:24:54.889 --> 02:24:58.229
school that is vegetarian. I tell her, you don't

02:24:58.229 --> 02:24:59.909
go around and telling people that they don't

02:24:59.909 --> 02:25:02.270
have to eat meat. No, you have to respect them.

02:25:02.430 --> 02:25:05.370
Everyone can do whatever they want. You don't

02:25:05.370 --> 02:25:07.829
do it because that's the way that we teach you

02:25:07.829 --> 02:25:10.969
in the house. We don't do it. That's it. You

02:25:10.969 --> 02:25:13.389
don't care what other people is doing because

02:25:13.389 --> 02:25:16.090
it's confusing, right? Her grandma, her grandpa,

02:25:16.209 --> 02:25:20.149
they eat meat. Everyone in my family eats meat

02:25:20.149 --> 02:25:22.989
and it's confusing for her. And it's like, but

02:25:22.989 --> 02:25:28.250
what the hell is going on then? So respect, basically.

02:25:28.370 --> 02:25:31.069
It boils down to respect. And realistically,

02:25:31.250 --> 02:25:34.209
you can't change people. The only way that I

02:25:34.209 --> 02:25:38.250
had any success, I don't want to say converting,

02:25:38.370 --> 02:25:40.129
but convincing people that this is a good idea,

02:25:40.229 --> 02:25:44.829
is when they came to me with a genuine curiosity

02:25:44.829 --> 02:25:47.959
and they were interested. why I'm doing it. And

02:25:47.959 --> 02:25:50.420
then I share why I'm doing it without saying

02:25:50.420 --> 02:25:53.620
that you should do the same. But I believe this

02:25:53.620 --> 02:25:56.799
is how I had the most success in getting the

02:25:56.799 --> 02:26:00.399
message across. It doesn't work if I just go

02:26:00.399 --> 02:26:03.340
up to random people and tell them, well, you

02:26:03.340 --> 02:26:04.979
should do the same. That's not how it works.

02:26:05.260 --> 02:26:08.639
It also doesn't work at work with Neo of him.

02:26:08.940 --> 02:26:11.659
I'm preaching the gospel of Neo of him at work,

02:26:11.700 --> 02:26:16.729
but nobody cares. No, but same thing happened

02:26:16.729 --> 02:26:21.049
to me, man. I was like, I have a friend. Well,

02:26:21.170 --> 02:26:23.290
we're still friends. We meet each Wednesday.

02:26:23.430 --> 02:26:27.450
He's from the US. And he used Emacs. And I try

02:26:27.450 --> 02:26:31.750
to, no, I never try to get into any of him. He

02:26:31.750 --> 02:26:34.510
was like, why do you do that? No, you cannot

02:26:34.510 --> 02:26:37.909
convince anyone to do anything unless they reach

02:26:37.909 --> 02:26:41.959
out. That's when you got him, right? Exactly.

02:26:42.139 --> 02:26:44.760
Yeah. No one at works understands your passion

02:26:44.760 --> 02:26:46.959
for all this. Can you talk to someone about it

02:26:46.959 --> 02:26:49.479
or no? You're just there by yourself with your

02:26:49.479 --> 02:26:51.959
terminal. And when you see your screen, they're

02:26:51.959 --> 02:26:55.700
like, what is this guy doing? There are a few

02:26:55.700 --> 02:26:59.959
people who are into NuVim and CLI tools. And

02:26:59.959 --> 02:27:02.040
I even started at work a Slack channel called

02:27:02.040 --> 02:27:06.879
CLI Wizards. And so there are like 20, 30 enthusiasts

02:27:06.879 --> 02:27:10.180
are in the channel. I created a Slack channel,

02:27:10.299 --> 02:27:12.889
NuVim. It was just like three folks there. And

02:27:12.889 --> 02:27:16.409
it's a huge company, you know? And yeah, it didn't

02:27:16.409 --> 02:27:18.530
work. Newvim is also very specific. I think in

02:27:18.530 --> 02:27:20.629
the CLI wizards, there are also people who don't

02:27:20.629 --> 02:27:22.450
necessarily use Newvim. They're just passionate

02:27:22.450 --> 02:27:26.770
about Linux. Good idea. But yeah, there are like

02:27:26.770 --> 02:27:30.329
five, six people maybe who also use Newvim. And

02:27:30.329 --> 02:27:33.329
I mean, that's pretty cool. That's always a great

02:27:33.329 --> 02:27:35.969
way to connect. Do they know you have a channel?

02:27:37.549 --> 02:27:40.670
I think these people, not specifically, but in

02:27:40.670 --> 02:27:43.770
my team, most people know, but I would be surprised

02:27:43.770 --> 02:27:46.250
if they were watching because probably they're

02:27:46.250 --> 02:27:52.069
not very interested in this nerdy rabbit hole.

02:27:52.690 --> 02:27:56.510
Yeah, definitely. Okay. Now, what tools do you

02:27:56.510 --> 02:28:00.229
use to push to GitHub? Like if you use GitHub

02:28:00.229 --> 02:28:02.489
or GitLab, whatever, what tools do you use? Do

02:28:02.489 --> 02:28:06.290
you use LazyGit or just commands or what? LazyGit.

02:28:06.649 --> 02:28:08.870
Lazy Git, yeah. You like it? Yeah, it's solid.

02:28:09.309 --> 02:28:12.649
Yeah, I used to have aliases for Git commands

02:28:12.649 --> 02:28:19.649
set up, like GA for Git add and GP for Git push

02:28:19.649 --> 02:28:23.229
and stuff like this. It works to some extent.

02:28:23.389 --> 02:28:27.670
I also built some custom Git workflows with FZF

02:28:27.670 --> 02:28:35.459
and aliased them to make it a bit smoother. It

02:28:35.459 --> 02:28:38.040
doesn't beat LazyGit, man. LazyGit is too good.

02:28:38.280 --> 02:28:42.819
Yeah, same here. You just stage a file easily.

02:28:42.860 --> 02:28:45.260
You don't have to type a thing. You just stage

02:28:45.260 --> 02:28:49.280
it, C to commit, type your message. You're good

02:28:49.280 --> 02:28:51.760
to go. Pretty simple. You get the preview. You

02:28:51.760 --> 02:28:54.280
can scroll through the file. You can go into

02:28:54.280 --> 02:28:58.579
the file and pick a specific section to just

02:28:58.579 --> 02:29:02.440
commit that specific part. it's it's an awesome

02:29:02.440 --> 02:29:05.739
tool yeah i use lazy git as well and yeah even

02:29:05.739 --> 02:29:08.459
the more the more complex workflows like interactive

02:29:08.459 --> 02:29:10.920
rebase and like squashing commits and renaming

02:29:10.920 --> 02:29:14.959
and this kind of stuff that tends to be a bit

02:29:14.959 --> 02:29:17.159
hard to remember if you do it manually but basically

02:29:17.159 --> 02:29:20.239
it's like so easy i don't even get it with lazy

02:29:20.239 --> 02:29:23.219
git sometimes i get into shit and i'm like what

02:29:23.219 --> 02:29:26.399
the hell happened here and i just delete the

02:29:26.399 --> 02:29:30.100
whole changes go back Fuck this and start over,

02:29:30.260 --> 02:29:32.639
man. Sometimes I just get into places where I

02:29:32.639 --> 02:29:36.399
cannot go out of and I'm like, fuck this. That

02:29:36.399 --> 02:29:38.860
happens to me as well. Yeah, it's an amazing

02:29:38.860 --> 02:29:41.879
tool. And for work, it worked as well, you know,

02:29:41.879 --> 02:29:45.840
because I just created my branch in there, named

02:29:45.840 --> 02:29:48.520
the branch and then just pushed my changes. The

02:29:48.520 --> 02:29:50.360
only thing I had to go to GitHub was to merge

02:29:50.360 --> 02:29:52.860
the PR and all that stuff. I could have used

02:29:52.860 --> 02:29:56.299
another tool. There's this guy that I had an

02:29:56.299 --> 02:29:59.440
interview with. GitHub CLI, what is it called?

02:30:01.180 --> 02:30:05.020
What is the name of that tool called? Damn, I

02:30:05.020 --> 02:30:09.500
don't even remember. Dash? GH dash, I think it

02:30:09.500 --> 02:30:12.860
is. Yeah, you can merge, you can view issues,

02:30:12.959 --> 02:30:16.639
I think. Yeah, GH dash. I don't remember. But,

02:30:16.719 --> 02:30:21.899
okay. And Tmux, you're into Tmux as well? Because

02:30:21.899 --> 02:30:23.860
you mentioned that for CloudCod, you can open

02:30:23.860 --> 02:30:26.620
a Tmux pane. So what else do you use Tmux for?

02:30:29.289 --> 02:30:32.049
everything pretty much i usually have one session

02:30:32.049 --> 02:30:34.250
per project that i'm working in okay awesome

02:30:34.250 --> 02:30:38.149
okay the way the way the lord intended exactly

02:30:38.149 --> 02:30:44.670
exactly sessions okay yes and then yeah that's

02:30:44.670 --> 02:30:47.510
pretty much it i mean the main new window i sometimes

02:30:47.510 --> 02:30:50.389
do like a paint on the side maybe with cloud

02:30:50.389 --> 02:30:53.670
code in some cases then i have different windows

02:30:53.670 --> 02:30:57.149
sometimes to see a different code base or to

02:30:58.319 --> 02:31:01.379
to spin up a server or something like this in

02:31:01.379 --> 02:31:04.520
data science projects we work a lot with jupyter

02:31:04.520 --> 02:31:07.739
notebooks i hate them but sometimes i need to

02:31:07.739 --> 02:31:11.059
run jupyter notebooks and at least then i can

02:31:11.059 --> 02:31:13.799
spin up the server in a different window and

02:31:13.799 --> 02:31:17.260
then go to my browser but yeah man don't get

02:31:17.260 --> 02:31:19.719
me started on jupyter notebooks that's the worst

02:31:19.719 --> 02:31:23.059
part of data science in my opinion Yeah, I did

02:31:23.059 --> 02:31:26.100
receive a course in university where I had to

02:31:26.100 --> 02:31:28.180
run some of those notebooks. I had to go to a

02:31:28.180 --> 02:31:30.459
page and get some notebooks and just run them

02:31:30.459 --> 02:31:33.440
in the, what is it, Google Colab thing, right?

02:31:34.340 --> 02:31:38.799
Yeah. Yeah, not fun. Yeah, it's horrible. And

02:31:38.799 --> 02:31:41.399
it doesn't have, they're Vim plugins, but then

02:31:41.399 --> 02:31:43.100
it's really not the same. They're very limiting,

02:31:43.239 --> 02:31:48.600
even worse than Vim and Obsidian. So you cannot

02:31:48.600 --> 02:31:50.840
implement them in NeoVim. There's no way around

02:31:50.840 --> 02:31:54.620
it. There is. I actually want to explore this

02:31:54.620 --> 02:31:59.319
possibility. There's a plugin called... I forgot

02:31:59.319 --> 02:32:02.340
what it was called. But there's a way to run

02:32:02.340 --> 02:32:08.659
Jupyter notebooks in Neovim. The problem is that

02:32:08.659 --> 02:32:13.040
it has a lot of dependencies. So system -level

02:32:13.040 --> 02:32:15.120
dependencies that need to be installed to view

02:32:15.120 --> 02:32:17.899
them properly and be able to render plots and

02:32:17.899 --> 02:32:20.860
stuff like this. And I'm not sure how smooth

02:32:20.860 --> 02:32:24.959
and stable it's going to be. So yeah, I haven't

02:32:24.959 --> 02:32:26.659
had really the time to look into it very deeply,

02:32:26.760 --> 02:32:30.139
but I will explore this for sure at some point

02:32:30.139 --> 02:32:32.899
because that's the biggest pain point in my workflow

02:32:32.899 --> 02:32:36.659
right now. And you mentioned TMAX sessions. How

02:32:36.659 --> 02:32:38.700
do you switch between sessions? Do you use the

02:32:38.700 --> 02:32:41.559
TMAX sessionizer by Prime or how do you switch

02:32:41.559 --> 02:32:44.959
between them? No, I'm actually curious about

02:32:44.959 --> 02:32:48.079
the sessionizer. So far, I haven't missed anything

02:32:48.079 --> 02:32:51.350
in the... default tmux i'm wondering what what

02:32:51.350 --> 02:32:54.790
the sessionizer even solves what problem does

02:32:54.790 --> 02:32:58.430
it solve so it just allows you to switch between

02:32:58.430 --> 02:33:02.370
sessions easily create sessions right so that's

02:33:02.370 --> 02:33:04.729
that's what i use it for this is a tmux session

02:33:04.729 --> 02:33:07.010
this is my daily note which is something that

02:33:07.010 --> 02:33:09.649
i don't miss in obsidian i use the daily note

02:33:09.649 --> 02:33:12.110
a lot but if you look at my daily notes right

02:33:12.110 --> 02:33:15.329
if i bring up my explorer here you're gonna notice

02:33:15.329 --> 02:33:18.840
that they're listed here right all of them So

02:33:18.840 --> 02:33:21.360
yesterday I had a call with Matt from the Linux

02:33:21.360 --> 02:33:26.000
cast. I have the notes here. So, oh, I was not

02:33:26.000 --> 02:33:29.659
supposed to mention that to show that. I'm trying

02:33:29.659 --> 02:33:32.719
to interview Mitchell Hashimoto from Ghost. We're

02:33:32.719 --> 02:33:36.979
going to see what happens. But I use sessions

02:33:36.979 --> 02:33:41.040
a lot for this. Like this is my daily note. It's

02:33:41.040 --> 02:33:43.299
a TMAX session. So basically what the sessionizer

02:33:43.299 --> 02:33:47.020
does is checks if a TMAX session already exists.

02:33:49.229 --> 02:33:53.750
If it exists, it's just going to switch to the

02:33:53.750 --> 02:33:56.229
session, right? I have three sessions right now.

02:33:56.770 --> 02:33:59.850
My notes, Obsidian, my dot files, and this is

02:33:59.850 --> 02:34:03.010
my daily note, right? So when you execute a key

02:34:03.010 --> 02:34:06.069
map, I have it mapped to a key map, right? So

02:34:06.069 --> 02:34:08.889
if I type here a shortcut, it's going to switch

02:34:08.889 --> 02:34:13.389
to my dot files. And if I want to switch to my

02:34:13.389 --> 02:34:16.340
notes, it's another shortcut. which is here.

02:34:16.420 --> 02:34:19.680
If I want to go back to my .files or if I want

02:34:19.680 --> 02:34:23.799
to go to my daily note again, so I can navigate

02:34:23.799 --> 02:34:27.780
between sessions easily, right? So it's just

02:34:27.780 --> 02:34:30.459
basically an if. If the Tmux session exists,

02:34:31.040 --> 02:34:34.399
just switch to it, right? Do not create it. Switch

02:34:34.399 --> 02:34:37.819
to it, but if it does not exist, create the session.

02:34:38.440 --> 02:34:42.559
And that's what I use it for, to switch between

02:34:42.559 --> 02:34:46.489
projects, basically. So it helps you skip the

02:34:46.489 --> 02:34:49.930
session screen? Yeah, it helps me skip the session

02:34:49.930 --> 02:34:53.209
screen. I never opened this. I did used to open

02:34:53.209 --> 02:34:55.829
it in the past because I had like 20 sessions

02:34:55.829 --> 02:35:00.489
open and I needed to clean them up, right? But

02:35:00.489 --> 02:35:04.610
I don't, I have a Tmux cleanup script now. So

02:35:04.610 --> 02:35:06.950
if I switch to my .files, I don't know why it's

02:35:06.950 --> 02:35:10.549
pasting that there. But if I have this cleanup,

02:35:10.989 --> 02:35:20.709
here is it. tmux kill sessions this one i have

02:35:20.709 --> 02:35:24.750
this script that is just going to close the tmux

02:35:24.750 --> 02:35:26.969
sessions that i have not accessed in three minutes

02:35:26.969 --> 02:35:29.190
or five minutes i don't remember what the time

02:35:29.190 --> 02:35:34.250
i said was where is it uh that seems like a short

02:35:34.250 --> 02:35:38.770
interval yeah but if i don't access a tmux session

02:35:38.770 --> 02:35:41.540
in a certain amount of time I'm not going to

02:35:41.540 --> 02:35:43.799
access it. I have learned this. Notice here's

02:35:43.799 --> 02:35:49.659
110 minutes. Yeah, 110 minutes. No, not three

02:35:49.659 --> 02:35:51.719
minutes. I'm sorry. It's three hours, two hours,

02:35:51.920 --> 02:35:55.239
right? A little bit less than two hours. So if

02:35:55.239 --> 02:35:57.620
I don't access a session in two hours, I'm not

02:35:57.620 --> 02:36:00.000
going to access it anymore. I know that for a

02:36:00.000 --> 02:36:04.000
fact. So it helps me keep them clean here, right?

02:36:05.700 --> 02:36:08.040
If I don't access it in two hours, it's dead

02:36:08.040 --> 02:36:09.879
for me. I don't want to be cleaning it up. I

02:36:09.879 --> 02:36:12.399
don't want to have 20 sessions in there because

02:36:12.399 --> 02:36:14.799
I used to have that in the past and I had to

02:36:14.799 --> 02:36:16.540
clean them up. I don't worry about that anymore.

02:36:16.819 --> 02:36:19.700
So the sessionizer is basically just to switch

02:36:19.700 --> 02:36:23.700
between sessions easily, right? Does it kill

02:36:23.700 --> 02:36:30.299
your .files session? What do you mean? Because

02:36:30.299 --> 02:36:34.010
for me, at least, the .files session... It's

02:36:34.010 --> 02:36:36.229
something I would always keep open, but sometimes

02:36:36.229 --> 02:36:39.850
I don't access it for days or weeks. Oh yeah,

02:36:39.989 --> 02:36:43.969
it kills it. But let's say that I'm in my notes,

02:36:44.090 --> 02:36:46.049
right? And I'm going to bring up this thing here.

02:36:46.190 --> 02:36:49.610
I'm going to kill this session. The .files are

02:36:49.610 --> 02:36:53.530
dead, right? So if I'm in my notes, notice that

02:36:53.530 --> 02:36:56.270
my .files are not even there at the time, just

02:36:56.270 --> 02:36:59.489
my notes. But with a shortcut, if I type three

02:36:59.489 --> 02:37:04.670
keys on my keyboard, just... brings it up, and

02:37:04.670 --> 02:37:07.329
I'm back in. Got it. Right? But now the session

02:37:07.329 --> 02:37:09.989
is created, right? It took a little bit longer

02:37:09.989 --> 02:37:13.069
because I configured it so that when it jumps

02:37:13.069 --> 02:37:17.190
to that session, it opens NeoVim and it restores

02:37:17.190 --> 02:37:19.969
the session. It types the letter S to restore.

02:37:20.290 --> 02:37:24.489
So it puts me back where I was, right? So now

02:37:24.489 --> 02:37:27.149
that it created the session, I can easily go

02:37:27.149 --> 02:37:29.510
back to it because it just switches. It doesn't

02:37:29.510 --> 02:37:33.799
have to create it again, basically. Got it. That

02:37:33.799 --> 02:37:36.639
seems neat. Yeah. How do you navigate sessions?

02:37:36.799 --> 02:37:43.260
Do you open this session? So I rarely have more

02:37:43.260 --> 02:37:45.780
than two sessions that I'm actively working in

02:37:45.780 --> 02:37:49.360
at any point in time. So for that use case, I

02:37:49.360 --> 02:37:54.100
just use the... Alternate. Yeah. So to jump between

02:37:54.100 --> 02:37:59.219
those two. And then if I really need to open

02:37:59.219 --> 02:38:01.360
a new session, then I just... you know, go through

02:38:01.360 --> 02:38:07.479
the session window and select it. Yeah. I don't

02:38:07.479 --> 02:38:09.639
keep a lot of sessions too. I would be lying

02:38:09.639 --> 02:38:12.079
to you if I would say I keep this one, which

02:38:12.079 --> 02:38:14.479
is my .files all the time, my notes, because

02:38:14.479 --> 02:38:16.739
I need to reference my notes. The daily note

02:38:16.739 --> 02:38:18.920
is something that I keep as well. And my blog

02:38:18.920 --> 02:38:21.280
post, right? I have another one for my blog post.

02:38:21.399 --> 02:38:23.579
So if I type the command, it's going to take

02:38:23.579 --> 02:38:26.979
me to my blog post and I'm going to jump to the

02:38:26.979 --> 02:38:31.860
blog post, right? So I keep... four, five, maybe,

02:38:31.959 --> 02:38:35.420
usually four or five. But I'm usually, or my

02:38:35.420 --> 02:38:38.500
home, right? I have another session for my home

02:38:38.500 --> 02:38:41.280
where I type commands. I just like typing commands

02:38:41.280 --> 02:38:44.180
here. And it's a separate session on its own,

02:38:44.340 --> 02:38:49.299
right? But that's basically it. Five, six sessions,

02:38:49.379 --> 02:38:54.739
maybe the most. So it helps. I think it helps.

02:38:54.819 --> 02:38:58.680
At least two. Got it. you know, quickly switch

02:38:58.680 --> 02:39:01.899
between the sessions. It becomes useful. Yeah.

02:39:02.680 --> 02:39:06.059
I look into it. Is it like a plugin or? No, it's

02:39:06.059 --> 02:39:08.680
just a script that the Primogen created. Let

02:39:08.680 --> 02:39:11.639
me bring it up. I'm going to switch to my .files

02:39:11.639 --> 02:39:15.500
here. Sessionizer here. It's just this script,

02:39:15.639 --> 02:39:19.100
basically. I have a modified version. I modified

02:39:19.100 --> 02:39:22.200
things a little bit, but it's basically the same

02:39:22.200 --> 02:39:27.100
thing, right? So it's just. Really simple stuff.

02:39:27.319 --> 02:39:30.159
I have more comments here than code, you know,

02:39:30.180 --> 02:39:34.079
but yep, this is what restores, right? So when

02:39:34.079 --> 02:39:36.079
I switch to a session, it's just going to bring

02:39:36.079 --> 02:39:39.299
up NeoVim because I always use NeoVim. If I need

02:39:39.299 --> 02:39:41.239
to switch to a session, it's because I'm going

02:39:41.239 --> 02:39:45.440
to open NeoVim. And except for the home session,

02:39:45.559 --> 02:39:47.459
I think I have a condition here somewhere. If

02:39:47.459 --> 02:39:49.879
it's the home session, don't do it. I don't remember

02:39:49.879 --> 02:39:53.610
exactly, but I open NeoVim. I type S to restore

02:39:53.610 --> 02:39:56.290
the session, so I just go back to where I was.

02:39:56.930 --> 02:40:00.590
And here, if the session is running, just switch

02:40:00.590 --> 02:40:03.129
to it, basically. But if it's not running, create

02:40:03.129 --> 02:40:08.649
it. It's a very simple script that he created.

02:40:10.229 --> 02:40:13.250
Very cool. I'll definitely check it out. Yeah.

02:40:13.649 --> 02:40:16.729
Have you heard about this other... I don't know

02:40:16.729 --> 02:40:19.590
what it is. well operating system or whatever

02:40:19.590 --> 02:40:22.069
it is nixos have you heard about it do you have

02:40:22.069 --> 02:40:23.950
any thoughts there have you been curious yeah

02:40:23.950 --> 02:40:25.930
man that's another rabbit hole i don't want to

02:40:25.930 --> 02:40:30.709
get into to be honest yeah that seems seriously

02:40:30.709 --> 02:40:37.010
deep yeah so i i do see the the use case and

02:40:37.010 --> 02:40:43.110
the value but also i have like some custom setup

02:40:43.110 --> 02:40:46.639
scripts for mac os and i just need to run one

02:40:46.639 --> 02:40:50.159
install script when i have a new mac and that

02:40:50.159 --> 02:40:53.620
sets everything up it installs homebrew it installs

02:40:53.620 --> 02:40:56.639
all the dependencies all the tools when you have

02:40:56.639 --> 02:41:02.540
them config so at least on macros i'm i'm good

02:41:02.540 --> 02:41:08.319
i would say i don't need extra stability you

02:41:08.319 --> 02:41:11.399
know yeah how often are you gonna buy a mac anyway

02:41:11.399 --> 02:41:15.840
or or rebuild it right every few years so Yeah,

02:41:15.940 --> 02:41:18.959
so I do see the merit in it. And I do think it's

02:41:18.959 --> 02:41:21.620
very interesting. But then it's such a deep rabbit

02:41:21.620 --> 02:41:24.239
hole that I don't know what I'm really gaining,

02:41:24.340 --> 02:41:28.520
what I'm getting out of it. I mean, yes, you

02:41:28.520 --> 02:41:30.059
could learn it for the sake of learning it because

02:41:30.059 --> 02:41:32.319
it's an interesting tool. But then also, what

02:41:32.319 --> 02:41:34.139
purpose does it serve right now in my workflow?

02:41:34.760 --> 02:41:39.059
And I don't really see a big benefit in that,

02:41:39.180 --> 02:41:41.059
even though it's really cool. And I'll probably

02:41:41.059 --> 02:41:44.450
explore it at some point. for content at least

02:41:44.450 --> 02:41:46.569
but you know that is going to be exactly the

02:41:46.569 --> 02:41:49.750
learning experience if you do content then you

02:41:49.750 --> 02:41:51.790
always have an excuse to to go into any kind

02:41:51.790 --> 02:41:56.049
of rabbit hole yeah yeah i feel the same way

02:41:56.049 --> 02:41:59.370
i'm just like no i definitely i'm not going to

02:41:59.370 --> 02:42:01.850
do that it's like emacs for me i'm just like

02:42:01.850 --> 02:42:06.010
nope not doing that right now right and when

02:42:06.010 --> 02:42:07.690
we were talking about terminals you mentioned

02:42:07.690 --> 02:42:10.290
you're not using go see that's what i know what

02:42:10.290 --> 02:42:14.170
what do you use then I use Westerm. I want to

02:42:14.170 --> 02:42:16.450
explore Ghosty as well. It seems quite cool.

02:42:16.709 --> 02:42:19.129
But also I'm quite happy with Westerm so far.

02:42:21.069 --> 02:42:23.950
Okay. And what do you like about Westerm? Why

02:42:23.950 --> 02:42:26.969
haven't you decided to try Ghosty? To be honest

02:42:26.969 --> 02:42:30.010
with you, I'm not in Ghosty for a particular

02:42:30.010 --> 02:42:34.190
reason. The cursor is cool, right? I do like

02:42:34.190 --> 02:42:37.049
the cursor. And I don't think any other terminals

02:42:37.049 --> 02:42:39.510
will be able to achieve that. And that is just

02:42:39.510 --> 02:42:45.819
because of the way... that the shaders work in

02:42:45.819 --> 02:42:49.420
ghosty right these double color that you see

02:42:49.420 --> 02:42:51.959
in the cursor is some shaders that are applied

02:42:51.959 --> 02:42:55.819
and uh that's what it makes it look like that

02:42:55.819 --> 02:42:59.440
um i don't know if the cursor can be implemented

02:42:59.440 --> 02:43:02.239
and implemented in western it can be implemented

02:43:02.239 --> 02:43:05.719
in kitty there's the neobim plugin as well for

02:43:05.719 --> 02:43:11.579
the cursor but um ghosty is great, but I wouldn't

02:43:11.579 --> 02:43:13.860
have a problem in switching to Westerm, back

02:43:13.860 --> 02:43:16.780
to Westerm or to Kitty. Any of the three is fine

02:43:16.780 --> 02:43:22.700
with me. So why haven't you decided to try ghosting?

02:43:22.760 --> 02:43:24.840
Like there's no reason. Is there something that

02:43:24.840 --> 02:43:28.440
you like about Westerm or? Yeah, so I've tried

02:43:28.440 --> 02:43:30.360
a few terminals. I've been using Kitty for a

02:43:30.360 --> 02:43:34.659
while and I also tried Alacrity. Initially it

02:43:34.659 --> 02:43:38.420
was iTerm2. But honestly, the main reason is

02:43:38.420 --> 02:43:41.479
kind of dumb if i'm completely honest can we

02:43:41.479 --> 02:43:43.959
get my screen on the yep let me switch to it

02:43:43.959 --> 02:43:50.559
yeah so you see here in restroom the t -max bar

02:43:50.559 --> 02:43:54.120
and now i'm i'm zoomed in a little bit if i put

02:43:54.120 --> 02:43:58.680
it into like normal zoom then there's this space

02:43:58.680 --> 02:44:02.579
at the bottom of the t -max bar and that really

02:44:02.579 --> 02:44:04.700
depends on your font size and like how much you

02:44:04.700 --> 02:44:06.780
are zoomed in or not like this now it's getting

02:44:06.780 --> 02:44:09.700
really big and there's also the space on the

02:44:09.700 --> 02:44:12.040
on the side like here on the right side of the

02:44:12.040 --> 02:44:16.100
t -max bomb and yeah that really depends on the

02:44:16.100 --> 02:44:19.040
font size and some terminals handle it a bit

02:44:19.040 --> 02:44:22.299
better than others kitty did it very well but

02:44:22.299 --> 02:44:25.540
then in alacrity i couldn't get it to look good

02:44:25.540 --> 02:44:29.219
i always had a huge amount of space on the right

02:44:29.219 --> 02:44:32.719
and space below the t -max bar so honestly this

02:44:32.719 --> 02:44:35.819
is my main criteria on why i stuck with western

02:44:35.819 --> 02:44:40.709
because uh For the most part, I got it to look

02:44:40.709 --> 02:44:49.010
decent. But yeah, so... Let's see. If Ghosty

02:44:49.010 --> 02:44:51.049
can get rid of the space, then I would switch

02:44:51.049 --> 02:44:54.170
to Ghosty. Otherwise, Westterm is quite good.

02:44:54.329 --> 02:44:57.190
Also, Westterm has some built -in color themes,

02:44:57.309 --> 02:45:01.870
so it's very easy to make everything look very

02:45:01.870 --> 02:45:05.889
consistent without too much configuration. And

02:45:05.889 --> 02:45:12.129
the glyphs... rendered quite nicely. For me,

02:45:12.170 --> 02:45:17.049
at least KD looked a little bit pixelated. Not

02:45:17.049 --> 02:45:22.430
by a lot, but Westterm definitely renders it

02:45:22.430 --> 02:45:28.430
much sharper. So overall, it's just aesthetics

02:45:28.430 --> 02:45:30.250
for me and the reason why I went with Westterm.

02:45:30.450 --> 02:45:33.709
But I would be happy with any other terminal.

02:45:33.809 --> 02:45:38.440
It's just my OCD. It's triggered by unnecessary

02:45:38.440 --> 02:45:45.620
space. Yeah, I experienced that. I switched back

02:45:45.620 --> 02:45:47.139
to our screen. If you want to show something

02:45:47.139 --> 02:45:49.620
else, you let me know. I experienced that with

02:45:49.620 --> 02:45:52.120
Ghosty and with all of them. And I remember going

02:45:52.120 --> 02:45:54.000
through the borders and looking at them top,

02:45:54.180 --> 02:45:58.799
bottom, left, right. And yeah, I had to configure

02:45:58.799 --> 02:46:01.959
them differently in Kitty, in Ghosty. I think

02:46:01.959 --> 02:46:04.940
I have different configurations for each one

02:46:04.940 --> 02:46:08.520
of them. But yeah. Do you know why it happens,

02:46:08.620 --> 02:46:12.159
though? I'm not a terminal expert. I have no

02:46:12.159 --> 02:46:15.459
idea. But I did experience that with all of them.

02:46:15.500 --> 02:46:18.040
Each one, different settings for it to show up

02:46:18.040 --> 02:46:21.500
the way that I want it. So it was tough. Yeah.

02:46:22.379 --> 02:46:27.620
Yeah. Okay. And, well, we already talked about

02:46:27.620 --> 02:46:29.700
your keyboard. What layout do you use, by the

02:46:29.700 --> 02:46:32.799
way, on your keyboard? Is it QWERTY? Yes, exactly.

02:46:33.219 --> 02:46:35.139
Yeah? Have you thought about the other ones?

02:46:36.520 --> 02:46:42.139
I have, but I prefer to be able to use a normal

02:46:42.139 --> 02:46:47.719
computer like a normal human being. I feel like

02:46:47.719 --> 02:46:51.379
if I switch to, I don't know, Dwarak or Colmac,

02:46:51.540 --> 02:46:55.680
then I would be very dependent on this. I'm sure

02:46:55.680 --> 02:46:58.899
it would feel great and I would have a much more

02:46:58.899 --> 02:47:04.270
ergonomic experience even. But man... I don't

02:47:04.270 --> 02:47:06.270
always travel with this keyboard. Sometimes I

02:47:06.270 --> 02:47:08.670
just have my MacBook. I go to a coffee shop or

02:47:08.670 --> 02:47:11.989
whatever and sit down and do some work. And if

02:47:11.989 --> 02:47:14.850
I had to switch to a different layout at home

02:47:14.850 --> 02:47:17.629
and at a coffee shop, basically at the end of

02:47:17.629 --> 02:47:20.309
the day, I would have a worse workflow. I just

02:47:20.309 --> 02:47:22.889
want to be able to use the built -in keyboard

02:47:22.889 --> 02:47:25.629
as well. But you could use a tool like Kanata

02:47:25.629 --> 02:47:28.149
to remap the whole thing. That's what I did with

02:47:28.149 --> 02:47:33.670
my MacBook keyboard. With Kanata, I just... Basically

02:47:33.670 --> 02:47:39.149
made all of the modifier keys useless. If I press

02:47:39.149 --> 02:47:41.350
them, they don't do anything because I remapped

02:47:41.350 --> 02:47:43.709
them with Kanata. So you could do that with Kanata

02:47:43.709 --> 02:47:48.530
as well. But my take on it is I have my daughter

02:47:48.530 --> 02:47:51.870
here with me. I have to teach her about computers

02:47:51.870 --> 02:47:56.549
eventually. We did try. I taught her the Vim

02:47:56.549 --> 02:47:59.389
Tutor for a little while. I didn't continue.

02:47:59.899 --> 02:48:02.180
I didn't continue. It just was a one day thing.

02:48:02.260 --> 02:48:06.219
I have to be more consistent with that. But when

02:48:06.219 --> 02:48:08.120
the time comes and I have to teach her all this

02:48:08.120 --> 02:48:10.280
stuff, I'm not going to be in Colmec and she's

02:48:10.280 --> 02:48:11.819
going to be in QWERTY. It's going to be painful

02:48:11.819 --> 02:48:14.299
for me because I won't have to use QWERTY at

02:48:14.299 --> 02:48:16.659
that time. And it's going to be painful for her

02:48:16.659 --> 02:48:20.379
if she tries to use my computer. So I just wanted

02:48:20.379 --> 02:48:24.059
to be compatible with other people in my house,

02:48:24.100 --> 02:48:27.219
basically. Yeah. Honestly, they should teach

02:48:27.219 --> 02:48:30.270
women schools. They should. It shouldn't be your

02:48:30.270 --> 02:48:35.129
job. BIM motions and all that stuff. Okay. Now,

02:48:35.250 --> 02:48:41.790
to wrap it up, I want to go over not technical

02:48:41.790 --> 02:48:44.889
related stuff. If there's something that you

02:48:44.889 --> 02:48:47.569
want to talk about, you just ask the question,

02:48:47.629 --> 02:48:49.950
you just stop me and you just ask it and we can

02:48:49.950 --> 02:48:54.670
talk about it. But are you into music? Do you

02:48:54.670 --> 02:48:58.469
want to share anything about music? Oh, yeah.

02:48:58.969 --> 02:49:03.010
I am into music. Are you a pianist, by the way?

02:49:03.049 --> 02:49:05.010
Because I see a piano and a guitar in the background.

02:49:05.010 --> 02:49:09.549
No, that's a MIDI keyboard that I bought like,

02:49:09.549 --> 02:49:14.770
god damn, 10 years ago or even more. And I play

02:49:14.770 --> 02:49:18.409
the guitar. And I even recorded a few songs.

02:49:18.670 --> 02:49:22.110
I did record one in Spotify. It was years ago.

02:49:22.610 --> 02:49:26.549
Nah, I stopped playing the guitar. I like it,

02:49:26.569 --> 02:49:29.860
but... I haven't done it in a while, actually.

02:49:30.200 --> 02:49:33.020
Yeah, what about you? Are you into making music?

02:49:33.680 --> 02:49:37.000
I do play piano and the guitar as well. Although

02:49:37.000 --> 02:49:41.319
I haven't touched it now for quite some time

02:49:41.319 --> 02:49:47.079
because of them, you know. But in theory, I really

02:49:47.079 --> 02:49:52.920
like it and I practiced for many years. And yeah,

02:49:52.959 --> 02:49:55.959
so I'm also like into classical music and...

02:49:56.569 --> 02:50:02.790
i appreciate although like the the genre that

02:50:02.790 --> 02:50:05.670
i'm mostly into is hardcore music oh hardcore

02:50:05.670 --> 02:50:09.709
yes that's kind of what i grew up with and never

02:50:09.709 --> 02:50:14.690
it never left me and what type of bands or like

02:50:14.690 --> 02:50:22.409
i think the the most known ones are probably

02:50:22.409 --> 02:50:26.190
like parkway drive and Bring Me the Horizon.

02:50:27.170 --> 02:50:31.209
They became quite mainstream at this point. Also,

02:50:31.229 --> 02:50:35.829
there was the ones... I mean, it's the style

02:50:35.829 --> 02:50:37.989
of music that I like, but I'm not a big fan of

02:50:37.989 --> 02:50:39.969
this particular band. But they got nominated

02:50:39.969 --> 02:50:49.069
for the Grammys. Not crannies. What are they

02:50:49.069 --> 02:50:53.590
called? Knocked Loose. Knocked Loose. yes let's

02:50:53.590 --> 02:50:55.870
see let's see let me look let me look them up

02:50:55.870 --> 02:50:59.690
hold on yeah they're quite sick knock and uk

02:50:59.690 --> 02:51:03.569
or what knocked knocked loose yeah oh okay and

02:51:03.569 --> 02:51:11.530
like a tooth yeah k n o c k this yeah exactly

02:51:11.530 --> 02:51:14.549
now what is this is it some sort of metal oh

02:51:14.549 --> 02:51:17.250
it has the pig the pig voice right that that

02:51:17.250 --> 02:51:20.370
squeaks is is is that is that what it is i can

02:51:20.370 --> 02:51:23.870
see this guy's Doing the pig sounds. Is that

02:51:23.870 --> 02:51:27.610
it? It's not necessarily pig sounds, but there

02:51:27.610 --> 02:51:30.510
used to be pig screams in the genre that used

02:51:30.510 --> 02:51:34.350
to be a bit more popular back then. But yeah,

02:51:34.430 --> 02:51:37.850
it's shouting and it's guitars and drums and

02:51:37.850 --> 02:51:43.629
this kind of stuff. Oh, okay. Yeah, so that's

02:51:43.629 --> 02:51:47.670
kind of my main deal with music. Oh, shouting

02:51:47.670 --> 02:51:52.510
and metal stuff, right? yes it also works really

02:51:52.510 --> 02:51:56.889
well at the gym oh i also like like classic metal

02:51:56.889 --> 02:52:00.030
like iron maiden for example and i saw the shirt

02:52:00.030 --> 02:52:03.629
yeah i saw the shirt oh yeah yeah i i love them

02:52:03.629 --> 02:52:06.629
but i'm really into into anything i also like

02:52:06.629 --> 02:52:09.750
electronic music especially for coding like this

02:52:09.750 --> 02:52:12.309
kind of hardcore music doesn't work so well you

02:52:12.309 --> 02:52:15.629
can imagine it's not the best it's stress i don't

02:52:15.629 --> 02:52:19.430
see this guy singing like a kid friendly song

02:52:19.430 --> 02:52:22.469
i i see that he's kind of excited so it must

02:52:22.469 --> 02:52:28.250
be like a stream like us right yeah i can highly

02:52:28.250 --> 02:52:30.829
recommend it's also quite known i think he's

02:52:30.829 --> 02:52:37.069
german ben burma ben that's ben ben okay ben

02:52:37.069 --> 02:52:46.829
yeah ben burma it's like b b o b o h m e r yeah

02:52:46.829 --> 02:52:50.760
the first one Okay. It's actually a German sound.

02:52:51.540 --> 02:52:54.420
Yeah, with the two dots on top of the O. He's

02:52:54.420 --> 02:52:57.360
really good. That makes kind of like electronic

02:52:57.360 --> 02:53:00.159
chill music, I would say. It's also quite popular.

02:53:01.020 --> 02:53:04.520
Oh, he looks chill. Yeah, yeah. That's perfect

02:53:04.520 --> 02:53:08.979
for coding. And Tom Day. He's a bit lesser known,

02:53:09.059 --> 02:53:14.479
but amazing music for coding. Day. Day? Like

02:53:14.479 --> 02:53:19.860
this? Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's also like

02:53:19.860 --> 02:53:22.379
electronic chill kind of music. Works perfectly

02:53:22.379 --> 02:53:26.420
for coding. Oh, interesting. Electronic chill.

02:53:26.739 --> 02:53:32.040
What's your favorite Iron Maiden album? Album?

02:53:32.079 --> 02:53:34.700
Probably Number of the Beast. A Number of the

02:53:34.700 --> 02:53:37.879
Beast? My favorite song is Hollowed by the Name.

02:53:38.659 --> 02:53:42.579
Do you know it? Yep. Yeah, I was a huge Iron

02:53:42.579 --> 02:53:45.639
Maiden fan back in the day. My favorite one,

02:53:45.680 --> 02:53:52.239
let me tell you which one it is. It's a concert.

02:53:54.340 --> 02:53:59.979
85, I think it was. I had the DVD. Man, they

02:53:59.979 --> 02:54:03.100
were pretty young. This is by far my favorite

02:54:03.100 --> 02:54:06.299
Iron Maiden album. I don't listen to Iron Maiden

02:54:06.299 --> 02:54:10.180
anymore because I listen to it so much. man and

02:54:10.180 --> 02:54:16.540
i'm i exaggerated uh you know i did it i overdid

02:54:16.540 --> 02:54:19.200
it and i cannot stand it anymore but this is

02:54:19.200 --> 02:54:22.639
an album that i play from time to time the dvd

02:54:22.639 --> 02:54:27.340
um yeah sometimes we have moments i'm also like

02:54:27.340 --> 02:54:31.440
you know i have moments where i overdo it on

02:54:31.440 --> 02:54:34.860
a band on album but then like years later i come

02:54:34.860 --> 02:54:36.940
back to it and then it's still amazing you know

02:54:37.239 --> 02:54:40.280
yeah yeah look at this one hold on i'm gonna

02:54:40.280 --> 02:54:44.899
play it i hope it doesn't sound but look they

02:54:44.899 --> 02:54:48.059
were pretty young the rhyme of the ancient manner

02:54:48.059 --> 02:54:52.780
that's the song it's 15 minutes long 85 man 85

02:54:52.780 --> 02:54:56.559
yeah if you like iron maiden listen to this song

02:54:56.559 --> 02:55:01.260
but in this uh concert god damn one of my favorite

02:55:01.260 --> 02:55:07.059
ones didn't even have new of them back then Yeah,

02:55:07.059 --> 02:55:10.360
yeah, for sure. What other bands are you into

02:55:10.360 --> 02:55:15.719
then? Classical, metal? The other day, speaking

02:55:15.719 --> 02:55:19.899
of like revival of like old bands, I kind of

02:55:19.899 --> 02:55:23.520
found myself in a system of a down rabbit hole

02:55:23.520 --> 02:55:26.620
again. Oh, I watched the documentary. Well, not

02:55:26.620 --> 02:55:31.420
a documentary. About the guy in YouTube. Or where

02:55:31.420 --> 02:55:34.260
did I watch it? What's it called? tankian or

02:55:34.260 --> 02:55:36.799
something like that yeah he's from where is he

02:55:36.799 --> 02:55:41.680
from from um i think armenia yeah somewhere yeah

02:55:41.680 --> 02:55:44.299
i don't know exactly but i watched that and he's

02:55:44.299 --> 02:55:46.600
a pretty smart guy i didn't know he's a real

02:55:46.600 --> 02:55:49.899
artist i didn't know that about him i really

02:55:49.899 --> 02:55:53.239
appreciate that that kind of getting back to

02:55:53.239 --> 02:55:57.059
like craftsmanship and artistry i love that yeah

02:55:57.059 --> 02:55:59.979
so what you went into the system of a down rabbit

02:55:59.979 --> 02:56:02.920
hole yeah and just like listen to the old songs

02:56:02.920 --> 02:56:05.860
you know like they're just so good and timeless

02:56:05.860 --> 02:56:09.760
and same with lincoln park the old songs and

02:56:09.760 --> 02:56:12.799
i watched some concerts it's just you know so

02:56:12.799 --> 02:56:15.899
good and i actually wondered like specifically

02:56:15.899 --> 02:56:17.959
about lincoln park because the sound back in

02:56:17.959 --> 02:56:21.139
the back when they were popular like i said still

02:56:21.139 --> 02:56:23.559
popular but when they just became popular it

02:56:23.559 --> 02:56:26.799
was so unique like nobody did this like they

02:56:26.799 --> 02:56:31.459
did the whole you know rap and metal instruments

02:56:31.459 --> 02:56:34.639
elements and then they did this what you call

02:56:34.639 --> 02:56:37.940
the the vinyl scratching and stuff like this

02:56:37.940 --> 02:56:41.600
this stuff was just getting popular but kind

02:56:41.600 --> 02:56:43.840
of in separate genres and they combined all this

02:56:43.840 --> 02:56:45.879
and brought this together and it was you know

02:56:45.879 --> 02:56:47.899
and also the screams of chester bennington and

02:56:47.899 --> 02:56:50.799
then combined with rap and all this it sounded

02:56:50.799 --> 02:56:55.500
so unique and i was wondering like if in the

02:56:55.500 --> 02:56:58.659
future we make music with ai and it's quite good

02:56:58.659 --> 02:57:01.040
a friend of mine showed me the other day How

02:57:01.040 --> 02:57:03.500
you can make music from just a prompt. And it's

02:57:03.500 --> 02:57:08.379
surprisingly good. Oh really? Yeah because he

02:57:08.379 --> 02:57:11.940
made a song about us. Prompted a song about us.

02:57:12.000 --> 02:57:14.579
And it was super good. But I was wondering. Would

02:57:14.579 --> 02:57:19.420
something like Linkin Park. Come out of AI. If

02:57:19.420 --> 02:57:22.600
it had existed back then. Or was it. Because

02:57:22.600 --> 02:57:25.600
it had never been done before. So unique. AI

02:57:25.600 --> 02:57:28.819
couldn't even think about this. Because. all

02:57:28.819 --> 02:57:32.420
it knows is it's training data yeah you know

02:57:32.420 --> 02:57:36.579
i don't know maybe it can but let's see about

02:57:36.579 --> 02:57:38.979
that i guess we'll find out yeah if it can create

02:57:38.979 --> 02:57:41.819
something unique that people tune into basically

02:57:41.819 --> 02:57:47.959
right yeah and are you into movies as well is

02:57:47.959 --> 02:57:50.700
there any movies that you would like to recommend

02:57:50.700 --> 02:57:55.719
or that you like to watch not a lot i'm more

02:57:55.719 --> 02:58:00.149
into series yep specifically these days into

02:58:00.149 --> 02:58:03.969
k dramas honestly like my like my mother -in

02:58:03.969 --> 02:58:08.329
-law really yeah is that the korean ones yeah

02:58:08.329 --> 02:58:11.270
exactly yeah they're for old ladies man how did

02:58:11.270 --> 02:58:14.989
you end up there well honestly they are so good

02:58:14.989 --> 02:58:19.649
like i heard the other day that hollywood these

02:58:19.649 --> 02:58:22.549
days is basically private equity like all the

02:58:22.549 --> 02:58:24.170
hollywood studios have been bought by private

02:58:24.170 --> 02:58:28.100
equity And I find that I never knew what it was

02:58:28.100 --> 02:58:30.520
before I heard that, but I found that Hollywood

02:58:30.520 --> 02:58:32.940
has gotten so stale and predictable. Oh man,

02:58:32.940 --> 02:58:35.840
it's horrible. The same formula. The action movies,

02:58:36.059 --> 02:58:40.180
they suck. I hate them. And that explains, if

02:58:40.180 --> 02:58:41.940
it's true that private equity is infested in

02:58:41.940 --> 02:58:46.239
Hollywood, then that explains a lot to me. And

02:58:46.239 --> 02:58:49.299
I don't know, man, the plots of K -dramas, they're

02:58:49.299 --> 02:58:52.540
just so good. The characters are written so well.

02:58:53.399 --> 02:58:57.120
And I don't know, maybe that's because A lot

02:58:57.120 --> 02:59:01.200
of times they're based on manga or webtoon. And

02:59:01.200 --> 02:59:04.340
they already became popular as a manga. So you

02:59:04.340 --> 02:59:06.079
already have that proof of concept. I mean, there's

02:59:06.079 --> 02:59:09.360
so much manga out there. And then if one of them

02:59:09.360 --> 02:59:11.340
becomes really popular, then it's kind of like

02:59:11.340 --> 02:59:15.420
a guaranteed success if you turn that into a

02:59:15.420 --> 02:59:19.350
well -written series. When I see my mother -in

02:59:19.350 --> 02:59:22.489
-law and when my wife and I see her, she always

02:59:22.489 --> 02:59:25.770
brings up one of the series, one of the K -drama

02:59:25.770 --> 02:59:28.809
series. And she starts telling us this story.

02:59:28.909 --> 02:59:31.149
And we're like, no, no, no, no, no. Just don't.

02:59:31.370 --> 02:59:34.229
Because when she starts, she doesn't stop, man.

02:59:34.250 --> 02:59:37.670
And it can last hours. Do you talk to everyone

02:59:37.670 --> 02:59:42.889
about your K -drama shows? You have to introduce

02:59:42.889 --> 02:59:47.940
me to her. Yeah. I feel we would bond over that

02:59:47.940 --> 02:59:51.180
topic. Yeah. Does anyone else in your work and

02:59:51.180 --> 02:59:54.420
all that share this interest for the K -drama

02:59:54.420 --> 02:59:58.020
series? Yeah, Kelly, my fiancee does. We watch

02:59:58.020 --> 03:00:00.719
all of them together. That's awesome. Yeah, we

03:00:00.719 --> 03:00:02.440
got people to watch them as well. And now they're

03:00:02.440 --> 03:00:04.639
also, you know, they joined the cult and they're

03:00:04.639 --> 03:00:08.600
now evangelists. And now, since it's approved

03:00:08.600 --> 03:00:11.940
by someone that uses NeoVim, a lot of the audience

03:00:11.940 --> 03:00:14.500
are going to watch it and probably even me. Go

03:00:14.500 --> 03:00:17.420
for it. You're opening a door that you shouldn't

03:00:17.420 --> 03:00:20.219
have opened. Go for it, man. We're going to become

03:00:20.219 --> 03:00:26.440
the cave -in community. Yeah. Oh, man. Okay,

03:00:26.500 --> 03:00:28.940
so more into series, just gay drama, and that's

03:00:28.940 --> 03:00:32.459
it, right? These days, pretty much. But there's

03:00:32.459 --> 03:00:35.059
one series that is one of my favorites, which

03:00:35.059 --> 03:00:39.280
is not Korean, which is Mr. Robot. Oh, I watched

03:00:39.280 --> 03:00:41.540
it just a little bit, but I didn't end it, no.

03:00:42.100 --> 03:00:45.809
How could you not get hooked on it, man? I don't

03:00:45.809 --> 03:00:50.809
know. I don't know. I just didn't continue. One

03:00:50.809 --> 03:00:53.389
that I did get hooked on was The Office. Have

03:00:53.389 --> 03:00:57.170
you watched The Office? No, just random clips

03:00:57.170 --> 03:00:59.790
from it. And they're good. The first series sucks.

03:01:00.090 --> 03:01:03.610
The first season sucks. So if you're going to

03:01:03.610 --> 03:01:06.190
watch it, just keep that in mind. You're not

03:01:06.190 --> 03:01:09.389
going to love the first season. Just work your

03:01:09.389 --> 03:01:12.090
way through it once you reach season two and

03:01:12.090 --> 03:01:16.120
three. You're going to love it. There's a point

03:01:16.120 --> 03:01:19.739
in which, do you know what happens? I don't want

03:01:19.739 --> 03:01:21.700
to spoil it or should I spoil it? You're not

03:01:21.700 --> 03:01:23.559
going to watch it. Do you want me to spoil it

03:01:23.559 --> 03:01:26.420
or not? I might actually watch it because it's

03:01:26.420 --> 03:01:29.120
my kind of humor. Do you think it would be completely

03:01:29.120 --> 03:01:30.639
spoiled? Like I couldn't watch it if you tell

03:01:30.639 --> 03:01:37.780
me? I would stop watching it at a certain point.

03:01:38.100 --> 03:01:40.559
That's all I'm going to say. If you see that

03:01:40.559 --> 03:01:46.340
a major event happens. and you see that you don't

03:01:46.340 --> 03:01:48.819
see a character that you loved a lot and you

03:01:48.819 --> 03:01:51.920
don't see it show up anymore, I would stop watching

03:01:51.920 --> 03:01:54.780
it at that point. Then don't tell me, because

03:01:54.780 --> 03:01:59.020
I'm actually interested in watching it at some

03:01:59.020 --> 03:02:01.360
point. If you see one of the characters that

03:02:01.360 --> 03:02:04.180
you like and you suddenly stop seeing that character,

03:02:04.379 --> 03:02:09.360
it doesn't happen right at the beginning. It's

03:02:09.360 --> 03:02:12.440
a lot of seasons happen like six, seven, eight.

03:02:12.520 --> 03:02:14.879
I don't remember exactly, but something happens

03:02:14.879 --> 03:02:18.299
after that for me personally was just a waste

03:02:18.299 --> 03:02:21.819
of time. I didn't like it anymore, but pretty

03:02:21.819 --> 03:02:24.479
good. First season, just keep it in mind. You're

03:02:24.479 --> 03:02:27.600
not going to love it. I hated it. And I tried

03:02:27.600 --> 03:02:30.059
it again, like two years after. And I was like,

03:02:30.159 --> 03:02:32.940
man, now this is the second time that I watched

03:02:32.940 --> 03:02:36.440
it full and I want to watch it again. So it's

03:02:36.440 --> 03:02:40.620
nice. Yeah, I'm a fan of Michael. Yeah, yeah,

03:02:41.260 --> 03:02:44.280
yeah. I know him from the clips from The Office.

03:02:44.700 --> 03:02:47.479
And yeah, it's also my favorite character. Yeah,

03:02:47.520 --> 03:02:51.079
he's awesome. I also really love the same actor

03:02:51.079 --> 03:02:54.620
in Anchorman. You know Anchorman? Anchorman?

03:02:54.879 --> 03:02:59.760
No. What is it? I watched Foxcatcher, I think.

03:02:59.799 --> 03:03:02.059
I didn't like that one. Anchorman, let's see.

03:03:02.739 --> 03:03:08.370
Yeah, Anchorman. A movie about like 70s news

03:03:08.370 --> 03:03:14.090
anchors. With the same actor, same kind of humor.

03:03:14.149 --> 03:03:17.389
It's brilliant. I highly recommend. I haven't

03:03:17.389 --> 03:03:19.829
watched it. I want to watch it. I have watched

03:03:19.829 --> 03:03:22.450
clips actually about this one, to be honest.

03:03:22.690 --> 03:03:26.950
It's this one, right? Yeah, yeah. I have to watch

03:03:26.950 --> 03:03:30.889
it. He also shows up in a movie that I recommended

03:03:30.889 --> 03:03:34.639
to Sylvan. Which is called... This is more of

03:03:34.639 --> 03:03:37.120
a serious movie because he does a lot of comedy,

03:03:37.239 --> 03:03:46.579
right? So... What the hell? This one. This movie.

03:03:46.760 --> 03:03:50.260
If you haven't watched it, man. It's an awesome

03:03:50.260 --> 03:03:52.860
movie. If you can watch it. Beautiful boy. Beautiful

03:03:52.860 --> 03:03:55.840
boy. Just like... Just like... Sylvan Franklin.

03:03:58.139 --> 03:04:01.440
This is... The real... The real... You know?

03:04:01.790 --> 03:04:06.170
That is the real Vimothi. Vimothi Chalamet or

03:04:06.170 --> 03:04:11.290
however it's pronounced. We are not writing Vimothi's

03:04:11.290 --> 03:04:15.329
name correctly because people is using D -I -M

03:04:15.329 --> 03:04:18.190
-O -T -H -Y and it has to be written this way.

03:04:18.350 --> 03:04:21.909
So if someone else is still watching this, this

03:04:21.909 --> 03:04:23.969
is the right way, but just with a V instead of

03:04:23.969 --> 03:04:27.389
a T, right? I'm going to start correcting people

03:04:27.389 --> 03:04:30.069
from now on if they do this. Yeah, but this is

03:04:30.069 --> 03:04:34.379
a wonderful movie. Man, I loved it. It's great.

03:04:34.559 --> 03:04:39.379
If you can, give it a try. Cool. Thanks for the

03:04:39.379 --> 03:04:44.280
recommendation. Yeah. And video games, are you

03:04:44.280 --> 03:04:48.579
into that or no? I used to be, like in my teens,

03:04:48.760 --> 03:04:51.420
I used to play a lot of Silk Road online. You

03:04:51.420 --> 03:04:55.559
know it? I've heard it, I think, but no. It's

03:04:55.559 --> 03:04:58.540
basically like World of Warcraft. But instead

03:04:58.540 --> 03:05:01.260
of being an orc or a dwarf or something like

03:05:01.260 --> 03:05:05.620
this, you are a Chinese character. This one?

03:05:06.440 --> 03:05:10.840
Yeah, this was a huge time sink for me. And it's

03:05:10.840 --> 03:05:14.840
a horrible game. Honestly, it really sucks. Because

03:05:14.840 --> 03:05:19.819
it's such a grind. The game has quests as well.

03:05:19.840 --> 03:05:23.819
You can do quests. But the amount of experience

03:05:23.819 --> 03:05:28.040
you get towards your level... is over -proportional

03:05:28.040 --> 03:05:31.200
to the amount of skill points you get. So if

03:05:31.200 --> 03:05:35.260
you do quests, then you will level faster, but

03:05:35.260 --> 03:05:38.280
you will be underskilled for your level. So nobody

03:05:38.280 --> 03:05:42.020
does quests. They just go grinding, killing mobs

03:05:42.020 --> 03:05:45.579
the whole time. And so this is kind of boring.

03:05:45.979 --> 03:05:48.600
So everybody, there's not a single player who's

03:05:48.600 --> 03:05:53.700
not botting. Everybody is botting. So it's kind

03:05:53.700 --> 03:05:55.719
of pointless. You play this game, but nobody

03:05:55.719 --> 03:05:58.590
is there. It's like, you know, it's just ghosts.

03:05:59.909 --> 03:06:04.049
And then maybe at some point, like friends and

03:06:04.049 --> 03:06:06.569
me, we were just, you know, gathering and you

03:06:06.569 --> 03:06:08.770
can do cool stuff there that then actually involves

03:06:08.770 --> 03:06:11.629
playing. But most of the time we were just botting

03:06:11.629 --> 03:06:14.010
during the day and then go skateboarding and

03:06:14.010 --> 03:06:16.090
then came back in the evening. And hopefully

03:06:16.090 --> 03:06:18.170
we didn't get disconnected from the server or

03:06:18.170 --> 03:06:20.450
something, but hopefully the bot did its job

03:06:20.450 --> 03:06:22.250
and collected a lot of items and didn't die.

03:06:22.709 --> 03:06:26.459
And yeah. I don't know. Then we could actually

03:06:26.459 --> 03:06:29.540
play and have some fun. But yeah, it's the worst

03:06:29.540 --> 03:06:32.540
game. Honestly, don't start playing it. Yeah,

03:06:32.559 --> 03:06:35.899
it's like Nioh Vim. Nioh Vim is actually good.

03:06:36.020 --> 03:06:38.360
I mean, Nioh Vim improves your life. This doesn't.

03:06:40.780 --> 03:06:44.459
Okay. Awesome. All right. We've been here for

03:06:44.459 --> 03:06:47.959
three hours, man. It's a long time. Oh, wow.

03:06:48.659 --> 03:06:52.239
Three hours. Wow. Didn't even notice. yeah is

03:06:52.239 --> 03:06:54.979
there anything you else you want to discuss to

03:06:54.979 --> 03:06:58.600
wrap it up maybe one point from the beginning

03:06:58.600 --> 03:07:01.379
because at the very beginning when we were talking

03:07:01.379 --> 03:07:08.600
about um my channel and why it has relative to

03:07:08.600 --> 03:07:11.399
the amount of videos a high amount of subscribers

03:07:11.399 --> 03:07:14.780
i mentioned there are three points that i believe

03:07:14.780 --> 03:07:16.979
are contributing to that and i only touched on

03:07:16.979 --> 03:07:21.500
two i mentioned there are three points and Two

03:07:21.500 --> 03:07:23.639
of them are out of my control, which is the thumbnails

03:07:23.639 --> 03:07:26.180
and the timing of the videos, which was lucky.

03:07:26.739 --> 03:07:29.559
I didn't touch upon the third point. So I just

03:07:29.559 --> 03:07:31.739
want to bring that up to wrap this point up.

03:07:32.299 --> 03:07:35.399
I actually believe the third point is because

03:07:35.399 --> 03:07:40.399
I'm kind of an idiot, honestly. Why? Because

03:07:40.399 --> 03:07:42.860
I actually believe that for someone working in

03:07:42.860 --> 03:07:46.399
tech as an engineer, I probably have below average

03:07:46.399 --> 03:07:50.280
IQ in that field. And I honestly believe that.

03:07:50.920 --> 03:07:53.399
But this is actually a benefit if you try to

03:07:53.399 --> 03:07:56.260
make tutorial videos or explain things to other

03:07:56.260 --> 03:08:00.079
people. Because I know it from people who I work

03:08:00.079 --> 03:08:03.780
with or who I studied with. And I sometimes admire

03:08:03.780 --> 03:08:07.200
how smart they are and how quickly they pick

03:08:07.200 --> 03:08:11.620
up stuff. And I can tell also because my fiance,

03:08:11.879 --> 03:08:16.540
she has an attested high IQ. She did an IQ test

03:08:16.540 --> 03:08:19.379
as a child and it was very high. And I noticed

03:08:19.379 --> 03:08:22.430
that when we do... We sometimes play board games

03:08:22.430 --> 03:08:26.209
and we do escape rooms a lot. And she's just

03:08:26.209 --> 03:08:29.409
so much quicker than me at connecting the dots.

03:08:29.510 --> 03:08:33.209
This is where intelligence, pure IQ really shines.

03:08:33.590 --> 03:08:37.950
And I really notice a huge difference. But also

03:08:37.950 --> 03:08:41.190
she's not that great at explaining things. And

03:08:41.190 --> 03:08:45.450
I also noticed that from university. In a difficult

03:08:45.450 --> 03:08:47.670
course in time series, I had this professor.

03:08:48.909 --> 03:08:51.969
who i believe was a bit autistic kind of a genius

03:08:51.969 --> 03:08:56.290
probably also very high iq but he was he really

03:08:56.290 --> 03:09:00.649
sucked as a professor honestly because yeah yeah

03:09:00.649 --> 03:09:03.430
he drew something on the blackboard nobody could

03:09:03.430 --> 03:09:06.149
follow to him everything was obvious because

03:09:06.149 --> 03:09:08.690
he's a genius right yeah to the rest of the people

03:09:08.690 --> 03:09:11.209
who are just like normal students nobody got

03:09:11.209 --> 03:09:13.930
it and i believe that's kind of a bit the the

03:09:13.930 --> 03:09:19.649
the fallacy or the If you're a genius, everything

03:09:19.649 --> 03:09:22.549
is obvious to you. And that makes it very hard

03:09:22.549 --> 03:09:24.510
to communicate that to other people who are not

03:09:24.510 --> 03:09:28.989
geniuses. I'm not a genius. I'm maybe not completely

03:09:28.989 --> 03:09:32.409
the opposite. But I think probably the average

03:09:32.409 --> 03:09:36.709
viewer of my videos might be much smarter than

03:09:36.709 --> 03:09:41.030
me. And if they have any question, as dumb as

03:09:41.030 --> 03:09:43.110
the question might be, probably I had the question

03:09:43.110 --> 03:09:47.629
before. nothing is obvious to me i asked all

03:09:47.629 --> 03:09:50.149
the dumb questions i figured i still figure things

03:09:50.149 --> 03:09:56.590
out at the end but i think that's why i can explain

03:09:56.590 --> 03:10:01.530
things in in ways that most people can can follow

03:10:01.530 --> 03:10:03.950
and i get that feedback a lot in the comments

03:10:03.950 --> 03:10:07.170
that people like how i explain stuff so i guess

03:10:07.170 --> 03:10:10.870
that's the third contributing factor yeah that's

03:10:10.870 --> 03:10:14.649
a huge point actually and I have watched videos

03:10:14.649 --> 03:10:17.370
as well in which I'm completely lost because

03:10:17.370 --> 03:10:20.229
the person knows what he's doing, but I'm like,

03:10:20.290 --> 03:10:24.329
what's even happening here, right? So I was not

03:10:24.329 --> 03:10:26.969
the kid that used to get it at school. When they

03:10:26.969 --> 03:10:29.690
were, man, and my daughter suffers from this

03:10:29.690 --> 03:10:32.090
as well, but when they were giving the instructions,

03:10:32.209 --> 03:10:36.030
I was thinking of something completely not related.

03:10:36.190 --> 03:10:38.190
And when the teacher was giving the instructions

03:10:38.190 --> 03:10:40.879
and it was oral stuff. And when they were giving

03:10:40.879 --> 03:10:43.079
the instructions, I was like somewhere else.

03:10:43.139 --> 03:10:44.879
And they finished giving the instructions and

03:10:44.879 --> 03:10:47.260
I was like, what the fuck just happened? What

03:10:47.260 --> 03:10:53.639
happened again? And yeah, I never get things

03:10:53.639 --> 03:10:56.920
at first. You know, there's other people I see

03:10:56.920 --> 03:10:59.459
around and they catch it right away. Explain

03:10:59.459 --> 03:11:02.680
it once, they get it, not me. Man, it's tough.

03:11:03.459 --> 03:11:07.489
So I guess I try to explain. I don't know how

03:11:07.489 --> 03:11:10.129
people find my tutorials. I think they're not

03:11:10.129 --> 03:11:12.649
that, because you don't know what level your

03:11:12.649 --> 03:11:14.610
audience is, right? You don't know if they're

03:11:14.610 --> 03:11:18.069
elevated or if they're up here or down here.

03:11:18.190 --> 03:11:21.049
So you have to keep it right in between, right?

03:11:21.149 --> 03:11:23.149
Not go all the way here because no one's going

03:11:23.149 --> 03:11:26.489
to get it, but, you know, cover everyone basically,

03:11:26.690 --> 03:11:29.809
right? Yeah, I noticed that when I share videos

03:11:29.809 --> 03:11:33.110
in the NeoVim subreddit, the reception tends

03:11:33.110 --> 03:11:35.940
to be a bit worse than on YouTube. Oh, Reddit.

03:11:36.100 --> 03:11:39.139
The subreddit is trash, man. There are just bad

03:11:39.139 --> 03:11:42.000
people there, always. I also believe that it

03:11:42.000 --> 03:11:44.739
might be because people who are in the Neovim

03:11:44.739 --> 03:11:47.659
subreddit, they are so advanced and very passionate

03:11:47.659 --> 03:11:50.860
about the long -term crack, very crack Neovim

03:11:50.860 --> 03:11:52.719
users. And then on YouTube, you have a lot more

03:11:52.719 --> 03:11:55.959
beginners who are just trying to find the first

03:11:55.959 --> 03:11:59.440
tutorial ever on Neovim. Those people probably

03:11:59.440 --> 03:12:03.600
haven't signed up to the subreddit yet. So, I

03:12:03.600 --> 03:12:08.950
think... Those people who have been using NeoVim

03:12:08.950 --> 03:12:13.469
from day one, they might not appreciate an intro

03:12:13.469 --> 03:12:16.190
video as much as someone who just comes across

03:12:16.190 --> 03:12:19.129
it for the first time. Have you had bad experiences

03:12:19.129 --> 03:12:22.549
in the NeoVim subreddit? Have you gotten in dramas

03:12:22.549 --> 03:12:27.170
there? No, not really. I try to avoid that. But

03:12:27.170 --> 03:12:30.930
I just noticed that when I share a video there,

03:12:31.209 --> 03:12:35.809
the first... moment it gets downvoted most of

03:12:35.809 --> 03:12:39.149
the time quite a lot and then over time like

03:12:39.149 --> 03:12:43.129
it sort of picks up you know and i wonder like

03:12:43.129 --> 03:12:45.430
why does it always get downvoted like the first

03:12:45.430 --> 03:12:47.909
one hour or so it just gets downvotes like 60

03:12:47.909 --> 03:12:52.629
and 50 it goes down 80 yeah at the end then it's

03:12:52.629 --> 03:12:56.770
95 positive but why is it always like getting

03:12:56.770 --> 03:12:58.590
down at the beginning like other people who are

03:12:58.590 --> 03:13:00.930
just you know have no life are always 24 7 in

03:13:00.930 --> 03:13:02.489
the subway and just download everything that

03:13:02.489 --> 03:13:06.750
they don't like i don't know but yeah it's just

03:13:06.750 --> 03:13:08.870
a pattern that i that i noticed and it's very

03:13:08.870 --> 03:13:11.450
different to youtube on youtube it's overwhelmingly

03:13:11.450 --> 03:13:16.430
positive still still that's something that i

03:13:16.430 --> 03:13:19.069
wonder as well because we're pretty small you

03:13:19.069 --> 03:13:21.930
have 7 000 i have 8 000 subs it's just nothing

03:13:21.930 --> 03:13:24.959
just people that really like us Follow us, right?

03:13:25.120 --> 03:13:27.420
We don't have haters. I don't have haters in

03:13:27.420 --> 03:13:29.959
my comments. Some of them show up sometimes.

03:13:30.280 --> 03:13:32.299
And I just make fun of them. I just play along.

03:13:32.379 --> 03:13:34.899
It's fine. It does not affect me at all. But

03:13:34.899 --> 03:13:37.719
we're really small. But once you're big enough,

03:13:37.819 --> 03:13:43.020
like Tio. Do you follow Tio? Tio. Tio. He showed

03:13:43.020 --> 03:13:46.459
up in Prime sometime. Let me bring him up here.

03:13:46.840 --> 03:13:56.620
Tio. This guy. Have you followed him? No. You

03:13:56.620 --> 03:14:00.799
don't follow him? Once you're huge, a huge channel

03:14:00.799 --> 03:14:02.940
like that, man, you're going to get a lot of

03:14:02.940 --> 03:14:06.299
hate. He was involved in some drama recently.

03:14:06.379 --> 03:14:10.280
What was it about? GPT -5. He talked about GPT

03:14:10.280 --> 03:14:14.899
-5 too quick because he went into the, I don't

03:14:14.899 --> 03:14:18.799
know, OpenAI headquarters and tried it there,

03:14:18.920 --> 03:14:21.780
created a video that it was awesome, that it

03:14:21.780 --> 03:14:25.040
was the best. So he got a lot of hate. Then he

03:14:25.040 --> 03:14:29.020
created this video that it sucks that he jumped

03:14:29.020 --> 03:14:33.379
into conclusions too fast. But man, people in

03:14:33.379 --> 03:14:36.840
the comments and in Twitter get wild. But he

03:14:36.840 --> 03:14:39.219
has a lot of subscribers. Let's see how many

03:14:39.219 --> 03:14:44.260
he has. 500 ,000, right? So if we ever grow that

03:14:44.260 --> 03:14:46.620
big, it's not going to be the same. I think it's

03:14:46.620 --> 03:14:52.399
going to be... Yeah. It's... There's going to

03:14:52.399 --> 03:14:56.079
be haters. Way more careful at that point. Yeah,

03:14:56.159 --> 03:15:00.620
you have to think. But also, it's a very fine

03:15:00.620 --> 03:15:03.500
line because if you're too careful and you never

03:15:03.500 --> 03:15:06.600
speak up, speak your opinion, then why would

03:15:06.600 --> 03:15:11.559
anybody follow you, you know? That's very tricky.

03:15:11.959 --> 03:15:16.700
Yep, exactly. If you don't have your own opinion

03:15:16.700 --> 03:15:21.500
and you stand by it, yeah. The problem is when

03:15:21.500 --> 03:15:25.700
people feel that you sold out. Yeah. I guess.

03:15:25.819 --> 03:15:30.459
They're not going to forgive that. Yeah. Like,

03:15:30.760 --> 03:15:34.100
they thought that he sold to OpenAI and that

03:15:34.100 --> 03:15:36.959
he's an OPI shill, whatever they call it, right?

03:15:37.040 --> 03:15:40.340
So they didn't like that at all. He created this

03:15:40.340 --> 03:15:45.079
video and, yeah, drama. But is drama bad for

03:15:45.079 --> 03:15:48.860
you? Like, subscribers keep going up, right?

03:15:49.930 --> 03:15:52.569
If you create drama around stuff, are you going

03:15:52.569 --> 03:15:55.489
to lose all of your audience? I don't know. Or

03:15:55.489 --> 03:15:58.409
is it going to keep increasing? Right? Yeah.

03:16:00.250 --> 03:16:04.790
Like there's no bad publicity, maybe. Yeah. Again,

03:16:04.930 --> 03:16:09.549
this is a super fine line. Yeah. It is. I think

03:16:09.549 --> 03:16:12.590
at the end of the day, what I worry about is

03:16:12.590 --> 03:16:17.569
what do I want to be known for? You know, I want

03:16:17.569 --> 03:16:20.290
to talk about things that I care about. I genuinely

03:16:20.290 --> 03:16:24.930
want to help people. And, you know, I want to

03:16:24.930 --> 03:16:27.450
share what I've learned about NeoVim and CLI

03:16:27.450 --> 03:16:28.989
tools and that kind of stuff. I want to share

03:16:28.989 --> 03:16:32.409
it with people and hopefully it improves their

03:16:32.409 --> 03:16:34.809
workflow in the way it improved my workflow.

03:16:35.450 --> 03:16:37.209
And I want to talk about things that I'm passionate

03:16:37.209 --> 03:16:43.649
about. So, I don't know. That's the most important

03:16:43.649 --> 03:16:47.770
thing for me. To be true to what I want to be

03:16:47.770 --> 03:16:51.819
known for. yeah like white so serious said in

03:16:51.819 --> 03:16:54.479
the comments right now pirate software have you

03:16:54.479 --> 03:16:57.379
seen that drama have you seen what's going on

03:16:57.379 --> 03:17:01.799
there haven't followed it no man it's brutal

03:17:01.799 --> 03:17:06.360
it's wild hold on let me see you just see videos

03:17:06.360 --> 03:17:09.639
and all over the place look at this i'm just

03:17:09.639 --> 03:17:12.620
i just typed pirate software right now well just

03:17:12.620 --> 03:17:16.639
i just ruined but all of the videos that i see

03:17:17.159 --> 03:17:21.120
are like this man like life ruined liar look

03:17:21.120 --> 03:17:23.540
at this and this is on the main youtube page

03:17:23.540 --> 03:17:27.479
you know liar a total unfinished disaster this

03:17:27.479 --> 03:17:32.100
is a game that he was creating um hate here in

03:17:32.100 --> 03:17:35.979
the shorts you see hate everywhere pirate a noob

03:17:35.979 --> 03:17:41.200
criticism not welcome liar nipple baby this video

03:17:41.200 --> 03:17:44.459
is horrible i watched it and i was like what

03:17:44.459 --> 03:17:49.719
the hell is this uh but look this is when the

03:17:49.719 --> 03:17:53.239
internet turns against you completely and man

03:17:53.239 --> 03:17:56.780
it's it's not his videos this is just hate look

03:17:56.780 --> 03:18:00.440
at all this what did he do what was the rules

03:18:00.440 --> 03:18:03.360
games just be careful if you're gonna say something

03:18:03.360 --> 03:18:07.809
about games we're not big enough right but Oh,

03:18:07.809 --> 03:18:09.889
fuck. I said something about Silk Road. I hope

03:18:09.889 --> 03:18:13.909
they know. No, but... No Silk Road. No, it's

03:18:13.909 --> 03:18:17.209
not that. Evangelists. It's that not. It's that

03:18:17.209 --> 03:18:21.190
he is not in favor. What is it about Why So Serious?

03:18:21.270 --> 03:18:23.450
If you can type it in the comments to let us

03:18:23.450 --> 03:18:25.170
know what it's about. But this is my understanding.

03:18:25.469 --> 03:18:28.729
Let's wait for the comments. But he didn't support

03:18:28.729 --> 03:18:33.750
that Stop Killing Games initiative. There's an

03:18:33.750 --> 03:18:37.899
initiative that is in favor of not... old games

03:18:37.899 --> 03:18:40.579
so that old games continue to work, basically.

03:18:40.780 --> 03:18:43.659
So that if you buy your game, let's say Unreal

03:18:43.659 --> 03:18:45.959
Tournament, you remember that game. It was an

03:18:45.959 --> 03:18:48.260
old game. So if you bought it, you can still

03:18:48.260 --> 03:18:51.479
play it till this day, right? And there's a lot

03:18:51.479 --> 03:18:54.540
of games that don't allow that to happen because

03:18:54.540 --> 03:18:58.079
they run on servers. And once they say there's

03:18:58.079 --> 03:19:00.139
not enough traffic on the servers for online

03:19:00.139 --> 03:19:02.760
games, they're like, we're not going to keep

03:19:02.760 --> 03:19:07.079
the server up. Just the game dies. What they're

03:19:07.079 --> 03:19:10.500
after is, okay, you can kill the servers, that's

03:19:10.500 --> 03:19:13.920
fine, but give us the code. Let us host the games

03:19:13.920 --> 03:19:17.280
ourselves so we can still play them because they're

03:19:17.280 --> 03:19:19.239
part of the history, they're part of the culture,

03:19:19.319 --> 03:19:22.760
so they just want to keep playing the old games.

03:19:22.920 --> 03:19:25.799
The games that you played as a child, they want

03:19:25.799 --> 03:19:28.319
to play them with their kids, right? And he was

03:19:28.319 --> 03:19:31.979
against that. He was against that, and man. It's

03:19:31.979 --> 03:19:34.579
an emotional topic for... nostalgia is a big

03:19:34.579 --> 03:19:38.979
emotion yeah yeah but i see and man the videos

03:19:38.979 --> 03:19:43.719
are horrible it's it's tough so i don't i wouldn't

03:19:43.719 --> 03:19:46.040
want to be on that spot but look at the amount

03:19:46.040 --> 03:19:50.299
of subscribers that he has right 2 .25 million

03:19:50.299 --> 03:19:54.399
subscribers is he going to get cancelled is he

03:19:54.399 --> 03:19:57.000
going to continue are they going to keep increasing

03:19:57.000 --> 03:20:02.389
what's going to happen is there bad Is there

03:20:02.389 --> 03:20:06.229
bad publicity or there's not? Is this bad for

03:20:06.229 --> 03:20:09.889
him? Maybe it makes him feel bad, but is his

03:20:09.889 --> 03:20:14.469
channel growing? Is it making him more popular?

03:20:14.649 --> 03:20:18.010
What's going to happen? I don't know. So when

03:20:18.010 --> 03:20:21.110
you operate at that level, it's different. So

03:20:21.110 --> 03:20:25.590
I don't know. Might be good for him in the end,

03:20:25.670 --> 03:20:29.329
but probably a stressful time at the very least

03:20:29.329 --> 03:20:32.760
for him right now. Yeah, stressful. He's losing

03:20:32.760 --> 03:20:38.440
daily subs around 5k a day. Yeah. So. I wish

03:20:38.440 --> 03:20:46.200
I could afford to lose 5k subs. Yeah. 8k and

03:20:46.200 --> 03:20:50.979
I'm done. Yeah. So Hendrik, really appreciate

03:20:50.979 --> 03:20:53.600
your time. Guys in the chat, thank you for being

03:20:53.600 --> 03:20:56.059
here as well. So mainly to you, Hendrik. Thank

03:20:56.059 --> 03:20:59.620
you very much, man. I'm going to be editing this

03:20:59.620 --> 03:21:02.739
video, leaving the timeline. That's what takes

03:21:02.739 --> 03:21:04.959
most of the time. And I'm going to be publishing

03:21:04.959 --> 03:21:08.000
the video. Any final words before we wrap it

03:21:08.000 --> 03:21:11.000

03:21:20.600 --> 03:21:22.940
a collaboration or something, right? Talk about

03:21:22.940 --> 03:21:25.819
