I dabbled with some pretty horrible videos back in 2018 like this one with Angular Material. I thought that if I am stuck on this problem maybe others could learn from it, so I took the time and made a video.

Introverted Extrovert

In 2019 I was talking with my best friend from college Nick Rouech and I was like man I need to talk more so I can break out of this introverted coding thing. I find that I can grasp concepts really well but I have seen some pretty AMAZING developers and realized quickly in my college career way back in 2001 that I should not just be a developer! It took me almost 20 years to convince myself that someone might listen so I finally started the CodingCat.dev journey (or back then ajonp.com).

A lot of work

I was chatting with a colleague yesterday about what it takes to be good at YouTube and it reminded me why it is so hard to keep the podcast going! I was going to let it go this year, but I think 2025 we shall see season 5!!

Current Tools and Process

I talked a lot about this in the below post how what tools I am using right now, but as we move into a more automated future of content delivery I feel like I am going to have to change or just build my own!

Video Recording

With StreamYard adding to my bill once again this year I feel like they are not adding enough features to the service to make it worth it anymore. I am considering moving over to Riverside.
