  1. 5:30 As a developer, I also often do changes, which don't really add any features, especially when I didn't work on a project for months/years. When I look at the project I often realize some thinks: - oh, I didn't do auto formatting back then - nowadays I would format this differently - I should update all my dependencies and see if it still works, maybe do minor changes to make it work again - I learned about a new feature, so I refactor all the places where this feature can be used - I should do a little refactor, all this code, which is in one file, doesn't have to be in one file - looks like I didn't do proper error handling here and there; it doesn't really matter since in the end, the program just panics, but I do it anyway - before I can add a new feature here, I have to refactor this whole system, else adding new features won't be scalable And in a few days, I might do dozens of commits which don't change anything. Sometimes this motivates me to continue work on the project, but most often not.

  2. 0:38 When I went to school, the default was still Open Office, even before I switched to Windows. And when I started using Linux, I think, it was still Open Office first, and only later got rebranded Libre Office?
