an awesome video from one of my major inspirations

[sameerkashyap]

Wow. I was so curious about this.
Damn the ctrl +z trick is so slick. I thought you recorded a window and used clipboard history in windows.
Never been so inspired by any other content style. Starting my channel soon!

Man, I am a big fan of your content, though I don't usually comment, but I can see the amount of effort you put on each video you make, and it's much appreciated and thank you for sharing your process, there is a lot of creativity in it, from the way you do things, to the thumbnails (which I think are the best programming thumbnails in YouTube)

[EsquisseBeats]

That ctrl + Z trick is the magic ingredient to every programming video out there, damn it's so simple and easy but yet so efficient ! Great to have an insight on your workflow, keep the good content !

[WrongAkram]

Easily the highest quality content. Really happy you released this so I can steal your secrets!

[swapless]

The biggest problem I face as a developer is not knowing what is possible, what do I even do now that I have learned some basics? Every other tutorial I watch on YouTube just takes me back to the very start which frustrates me a lot. But your videos give me an insight to what actually can be done. And I love it. Those 10 mins of insights given were more helpful to me than anything I have ever been told. Thank you so much, Jeff!

Honestly, your conciseness is why I watch your channel. Literally every other programming youtube channel has hour long tutorial videos with only 5 minutes of worthwhile content

[alexrafter]

Man that's so dope, when it's your full time gig, and you have cultivated your own style over time, that you go and make a video like this, and give your knowledge so freely. Big respect 👏

The CTRL + Z for screen recording is genius, Jeff. I am stealing that. Thanks for everything you do. BTW, not an immediate level developer. I am actually a hobbyist coder and your videos are how I get a quick context on technology before I dive into the documentation. Your approach still works for people like me.

[KevinSheppard]

I came for the coding part. I thought it was some magic clipboard tool 😅

[AndyChamberlainMusic]

I made some music production tutorials a few years ago following the "as concise as possible" philosophy and they are some of the most viewed and positively received things I've done. You're doing great work Jeff! Only in your case the videos are actually aesthetically pleasing lol

[poojagera]

This is a goldmine! So much effort and professionalism. It's crazy how you're able to do this with working full time as a developer as well, really inspiring

3 years later I'm watching this. Only just found your personal channel after subscribing to Fireship for the longest time. I saw your video profile that Honeypot did. That was really cool. I'm amazed at how smart and disciplined you are and it's great to see your focus on family. Knowing that you went through a tough spot was weirdly reassuring that even the best people stumble and there's always hope for those of us who stumble a LOT! inspiring stuff...

As someone who recently started making content on youtube, this feels like an absolute goldmine. Will definitely try these.

[grboydk]

You run the only channel for programmers I don't have to speed up to at least 1, 75 or even 2, 0 to not zone out watching. Your style is so perfect. Thank you so much.

[mujeexminiminer]

I can’t begin to tell you how long I’ve been procrastinating to ask this. Thanks for everything Jeff! I am certainly going to start a channel after this!

[clintonjones]

3 Years Later ...I am very impressed with your youtube channel
...as a NOOB creator, I look for the best of the best to pattern my channel after
to date I have learned that most good 'creators' eventually give up daily production in favor of solid home work capitalization ...so Thank You (up-front) for all that you have done and shared

[isbarhab]

As someone who recently started his YT channel, this saved me a lot of time. I can’t thank you enough men.

[klutch]

Dude, This just saved my life haha!!! Appreciate chya!

[EddieDemon]

As many more say, the Ctrl + Z trick is worthy of a gold medal!
