    Growing a Youtube Channel as Part of My Personal Brand

    Ahhh, OK - I fell into the trap of copying large YouTubers now, rather than copying them when they were first building their audience. Thanks. Yes he does speak really well - One of my goals is to actually do public speaking so I might give toastmasters a go as practice before I get the...

    Thanks @CountMonteCristo , I'm really happy that you liked them and that you can see progress from one video to the next. Confident and charismatic from the start? Haha, I felt pretty awkward at first, but I guess I hid it well then? B-roll, graphics, pictures... Got it. Yeah I am cramming a...

    @Runum Wow thanks for the insanely detailed critique! Golden info again :) I definitely think I've made progress to, I went over and watched my videos in order and can see slow but steady improvement, I'm glad you think so too. Yes, I used more than I did in my previous videos as an experiment...

    Thanks, I'll give it some thought and see if I can get some inspiration from other channels that I like. I wouldn't have noticed this without you bringing it up, so thank you very much. I appreciate you!

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the tips! These make a lot of sense... I've spent a lot of time trying to learn how to set up my camera and environment to look good on video, but I can see that I have definitely neglected other visual elements like you said. That will be an improvement point for my next video for...

    Growing a Youtube Channel as Part of My Personal Brand

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    YouTube is one of the platforms that I plan on building my personal brand on, but this is the one that I see as the most challenging. I have been at it for four weeks now and my suspicions were correct. It takes a lot of time to produce one video which means I can currently only commit to...

    MacBook Air or Dell XPS 13 Laptop for programming?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I have a 2020 i3 air with 16GB RAM, it has no problems running multiple displays, nor does it have a problem with programming or running any of the tooling I use. If I were to do some heavy ML on it, I doubt it would do well, but neither would a MBP - most people would use some remote solution...

    MacBook Air or Dell XPS 13 Laptop for programming?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    As a software engineer, I second this - the only experienced software engineers that use windows are the ones that get forced to use one by their company. The rest use some unix based oses (macos, linux). Also someone quotes an article comparing the performance of a dell xps 13 i7 +16GB of ram...

    I see, I see... I've recently started a channel and have two videos under my belt. One has 16.2% click-through and the other has 12.9%, but my watch time is hovering under 30%. Clearly I need to figure out how to make more engaging content... I've identified a few mistakes I made that cause...

    Intense job at a startup. What kind of side business can I build?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I was in the same situation as you. I got a job working part-time as a software engineer during uni, then when I graduated I joined the company full time. Also a B2B fintech startup. I learnt a lot there as you have to touch many parts of the business and you are basically working along-side...

    I have both, get the macbook Especially if you are programming. You will want to either put linux on the dell, or go with the mac. Linux’s screen scaling abilities suck and you will have problems with your screen resolution. Windows is awful to develop on. Most engineers that I know who...
