I started this channel for three reasons:
1. Increase representation in the engineering community
2. Improve at talking into a camera
3. Include tasks I'm fine with putting less effort towards in my day
Some of the goals are more far-fetched than others, but I'll see what I can do.

What an incredibly solid video. So many important topics covered: What is OOP, How to stream data; Understanding the marginal utility of your time vs happiness; Web dev principles. You are absolutely going places.

What tech does the philips hue ambient light uses is something you can use and teach me too.😅

not a CS guy, but for the TV color follow thing. Maybe you could map each LED to a pixel on your camera, and set each individual LED based on that pixel? Some of the LEDs might map to a weird pixel and not do what you want, but maybe enough LEDs are good enough that it all adds up to something that sort of maybe works.

Is there a way to avoid putting the Mac address of the ESP32 in the control without using an app on the PC?
