That music is terrible, could hardly hear what she was saying.

[tarntanate]

should explain a bit more on what exactly -p param did

[LeoStaley]

What's with all the distracting, useless music?

[mikST]

If it wasn't for the music, I still had to browse `git add --help` to realize what `-p` does.
This whole video was as useful as someone saying 'checkout git add -p bro'.

I feel the microphone is not as close to her as it should be

Great video, with helpful info. However, the music was a bit distracting and made listening to the advise difficult.

Last post to Saren's website was over 2 years ago. I guess websites are no longer needed and it's all about twitter and instagram.

This is insanely… useless? or perhaps I don't get the point. But be warned, I am aware of CSS and git (even with add -p). Perhaps it is the unicorns?

[rowolta]

-p is ❤️ I use git checkout -p, git stash -p, git add -p all the time.

The dislikes are for the music and not the speaker. Please don't be discouraged :)

Can I post my linkedin profile here and be called for an interview? ^^

Hyphen or dash, not minus. I also hope you are using SASS or LESS.

Anything can be improved by using unicorns :)
