I've been making videos about coding for many years now

I've been making videos about coding for many years now. Courses, tutorials, how things work under the hood. That work is changing fast, and honestly not in the direction I pictured when I started. But the more I sit with it, the more I like where it's heading. 3 shifts 🧵

• How videos get made For years my setup barely changed. Record the screen, cut it in Davinci, done. Same process every time, and I got good at it. (and fast) Now AI can sit in almost every step, and the motion graphics I want are written more and more in code. ( @Remotion)What the videos are about "Here's how this new feature works" used to be enough. But if you can ask an agent that in five seconds, my 12-minute explainer isn't what you need from me. A lot of what I built my work on is quietly losing its reason to exist.How people learn Fewer devs work through a whole course or even watch videos. They ask their assistant, get the answer, keep building. "Watch me for 40 minutes" just isn't how most people learn anymore. That is a tough one, since it is way more difficult to be of value.Where it's going, tools None of this is what I'd have chosen. But I cannot say I don't like where it's going. New tools show up every week. I try a lot of them, drop most, keep a few. Some parts of editing have never been easier, as well as research. I still haven't figuredWhere it's going, topics Topics: the shift is away from features and toward people. Not "how does this method work", but "here's how you actually build the thing", and why it's worth building at all. I need to show you and inspire you with what is possible. That is my onlyWhere it's going, teaching The part AI can't take over is the personal part. I mean it already tries, but there is only one me. The challenge: that means putting more of myself into the videos, not less. Personal experiences, personal stories, personal inspiration. That is aSo yeah: a lot is changing, faster than I'd like, and I haven't figured it all out. This year is one long experiment. Try things, keep what works, learn as I go. On all levels. I'm glad@laravelhas everything you need to build amazing products in this new era and my job is
