"So first, we'll be heading over to the nearest beach to gather our silicon"

Another important skill missing from modern education: reading data sheets or even knowing where to find them. Thanks for making things so clear, Ben!

When you want to learn programming and you finally find a "hello world" tutorial... but it says "part 1".

[danielbonheur]

Everyone: "Look, I built my own computer!"
Ben: "No, you ASSEMBLED your own computer."

[sdsdfdu]

"Hey bro you gonna get the new Playstation or Xbox?"

"Nah I'll just build my own."

[collinb]

Lol did not even mine the ore and smelt it into wire. You call this from scratch?

"sometimes is reading, sometimes is writing, but honestly I don't know what it's doing"

Ben, receiving my 6502 computer kit was a highlight of my week, especially since it arrived so swiftly to Spain, ordered on Tuesday and by Friday. The kit itself is exactly what I've been looking forward to, equipped with every component needed for assembly. Your projects have always been a source of inspiration for me, and this experience has only amplified my enthusiasm.
Your work not only educates but also builds a community of curious minds. I’m more excited than ever to be a part of this journey and to see where this newfound inspiration takes me.
Thank you!

As a software guy, watching this computer engineering stuff is fascinating to me. You're breaking down levels of abstraction I've never ventured so deep into and it feels magical.

"what languages do you know?"
"breadboard"

[falcy]

I’m actually really interested in how they actually did this in the 80s without arduino and all that stuff. Those people were absolute madman geniuses

This is great!! - I wish I had this video back in '83 when I was trying to build projects w/ the Z80 - I really needed this information. Thank you! Really well done Ben!

[GiveAcademy]

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Having been doing reverse engineering for over 15 years now.. the way you broke this down and went through each step whilst implying the reasons each step were done and important. really allows the mind to be setup for the reasons the next steps make sense. VERY WELL DONE! I can see the passion and time that went into this and I must say.... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MY FRIEND!

[RiggedBananaGaming]

You know it's going to be a good day when you get a video from Ben!

[monkey_see_monkey_do]

Setting up the address to read instruction from followed by NOP instruction itself using resistors has blown my mind completely! Also this is the first video that finally gave me an idea of what are the clock cycles and how do they relate to the processor. This is incredibly valuable information if you're trying to write an emulator.
Thank you so much Ben!
This was super instructive!

[keistzenon]

Dude that was great! Your explanation and delivery were crystal clear, well paced AND visually appealing. You showed different parts, zoomed in etc. just great 😁

[luisvictoria]

Your content is so amazing, it make me appreciate computers in a whole new level!!

[nirui.o]

Next up: “Hello, world” from scratch on a set of electrons.

[sjair]

This channel is exactly what I am looking for. Thank You so much for taking the time to put them out there! You would be great at teaching programming on here.

These videos make computer geek me so happy. How can anyone not find this stuff fascinating, it's just so magical
