I'm rewatching it 2 years later, when I actually need that info, and I'm glad that that video exists.

This is an amazing video and it's so clear. Talking about binding in general is super confusing in any language.

This is explained super well but I think I’m not creative enough to understand why these would ever be useful 😭

4:33 Oh man, it was so satisfying when I got the answer right! That means I understood correctly. Your videos are a big help to my far-future project.

9:12 Is super interesting. But at 10:23, after you have pressed Enter to bind A's my_func to B's my_func and then spacebar, the first time causes both values to increase by 20 instead of 40 in the times after that. Why is that? Is it because of the order of the code being executed, hence 20 gets added to A and then to B after initially binding? I feel this could result in certain unexpected problems.

Either way, you are super underrated, sir.

looks like Javascript 'bind' method.
