Maybe we haven't written or made these things because we have the self-awareness that we wouldn't do a good enough job? Knowing your limits isn't a bad thing. Also, you are assuming that none of us ever have tried: in my case I most certainly did, and I would say that my own writing is equally poor as this.
I agree with you in one respect, good on him for having a go, but I hope he is as brutally honest with his own self-assessment. I went to high school with someone (James Napier Robertson) who also went into the film industry and he did end up writing and directing a small feature film with good actors that won awards and is respected, it's called The Dark Horse and it came out in 2014. I see now that he has also directed a few more things recently, so, good for him. (The last time I spent any time with him in person was around 2009 or 2010 just when I was giving up on that life, and he was really lovely). Anyway, my point is that people do actually try, most fail (like me), but there's no prizes or congratulations for hard effort in this. The congratulations go to those who earn it by producing good work.
P.S. You're not his family member or his friend, why are you congratulating him on accomplishing something unimpressive, generic, cliché, and mediocre?

@ymichel7593 Of course. Of course they shouldn't. Because the land doesn't belong to them, it wasn't bequeathed to them as their birthright. You think you are making some gotcha statement, but it's completely backfired. I'm a New Zealander, and I believe we should honour the Treaty of Waitangi as it was understood by the Maori chiefs who signed it. Unfortunately it's too late to undo all the immigration, but we can "honour" it by restricting the vote to Maori and descendents of the original European settlers who were already in Aotearoa at the time of the Treaty signing. We became a "multicultural" society completely in violation of our founding document which is the Treaty. We are supposed to be a Bicultural one, with Maori as Equally Empowered Partners alongside the representatives of the settlers (i.e. everyone else). And, by the way, I say this as someone who doesn't have a single drop of Maori ancestry, so I have no vested interest in making this statement. It's just what is fair and right.
Ergo, the same does indeed follow for Somalis and Sudanese and "Syrians" in Sweden, yes. The whole world has gone nuts and retroactively applied an artificial Modern American worldview on everything.

@spengargon36 I have a question: when the truckers were in Ottawa, were you one of the voices continually stating that "we must be peaceful, democratic, we just need to stand here like sheep, and somehow, magically, the Canadian government will back down and apologise. We don't need to actually do what's necessary for a revolution, we just need to stay here like sheep, let the government organise and knock us over."
Because the kind of protest you do achieves absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. The only protests like yours that get attention are "fiery but peaceful" that the regime wants to support and back all along. I'm no communist, but it's important to read up the history of what Trotsky told Lenin about what was really required to defeat a regime. I remember being shouted down when the Truckers were in Ottawa—called a "nazi", irony of ironies—when I tried to tell people that they must act immediately, that they had the initiative! The govt and police were shaken and weren't sure what to do! I got shouted down by hand-wringing liberals who are completely ignorant of history and captured by delusional "liberal" fictions. Mandela was not a peaceful protestor.

@typecraft_dev Former filmmaker, current developer - I am just going to give you two specific tips that would help it work a bit better:
I don't think you should entirely give this up, it's not a bad idea. It's just badly executed.
1) get rid of the dissolves between those two angles, just use hard cuts.
2) try to crop/zoom the side angle tighter to make the cut work better. Usually the rule of thumb for cutting between shots of the same subject you need a change of a full "size". e.g. Mid shot to Medium Close Up if going tighter, or Mid shot to Wide shot if going wider.
One other benefit of tip #2: If you cut in tighter, you don't need to turn the full 90-degrees. You'll be able to get away with a 30-45 degree turn which will make the timing between the lines and the "beats" you want to hit MUCH easier.
Okay, here's another bit of feedback for why I think it isn't working so well: The lighting on your main camera angle isn't working so well on you with camera to the side. It work alright, though, in black and white/grayscale. See, part of the reason that @ficolas2 said that the "I'm on arch (btw)" gag worked is because two additional things happened: You went from inset "picture-in-picture" tiny you to full-frame you shot from the side and in black and white. That also makes the idea work much better.
This brings me to bonus tip 3) Instead of doing a transition to full-frame, then transition to the side-shot, then to grayscale/b&w (which made the whole thing a bit wonky)... *imagine if it went from inset picture-in-picture then straight hard-cut of you shot from the side angle in black-and-white/grayscale. That would work really well.*
Another benefit from going to grayscale is that you can grade/tweak the contrast and brightness of the picture, too, because it doesn't need to match the colour, exposure, and contrast of your primary front-on angle. Gives you more choices.
P.S. I'm not against the dissolves for everything. The dissolves between you full-frame and you as an insert "picture-in-picture" when you are showing code or your screen work well. You should keep those, it's a nice touch.

You forget the more crucial requirement: does the product have such scaling requirements that it necessitates this architecture? The answer for rhe majority of systems is absolutely not! It is most definitely not simpler to decouple the entire system and data, and unless you are Amazon-scale, you don't need to separate out everything to implement order fulfillment for an online store. The more logical requirement would be to accept that the majority of the steps in order processing and subsequent fulfilment are indeed asynchronous and need to be modelled as events. This does not intrinsically require a microservices architecture. You are putting the architecture before the real model, just like everyone else did when they went around selling microservices, and now you have the gall to blame us for being too stupid to implement it properly. The problem is, just like all the other salesmen of IT architecture, you too elide the true concerns and requirements! You act like you aren't selling anything, and are trying to help, but if thats true I'm afraid its you that are misunderstanding why so many so-called "microservice" systems are wrong and why people are doing it wrong. It was sold under false pretenses to the industry the first time, and you aren't actually doing anything to truly ameliorate it. Saying "I am just using the correct definitions of terminology", and "we need to understand these core concepts" doesn't get to the root of the problem, especially when for starters you think the problem is that products do genuinely need this type of architectural pattern. Especially from the ground-up, most businesses dont have the requirements thay necessitate it and they never will. That a microservices architecture supposedly allows management to have "smaller, agile teams" is not an actual business necessity for creating systems around microservices, and even mentioning it is deeply suspect.

For a channel that promotes craftsmanship, apply some to your camera and audio work, that's also a craft, okay?
To whomever did the audio: you got the Left and Right channels swapped around. All you had to do was listen to this back for a few seconds, good grief. This is fixed in two seconds flat in your editor.
To the cameraman: Try turning auto-exposure off and actually looking at what you are shooting. Plus, it really, really doesn't take that much effort or 💰 to put a little LED light on top of your camera to make it easier for people to see what you are filming. When you see lights above and BEHIND your subject, and you're not lighting a drama, but showing off a product, that's not good. If you can't manage that, then at least, for goodness sake, try to boost the knee/toe of the image a little in the computer. It even happens at around 4:00 when you put the "DEPTH = THICKNESS OF SLAB" title on, see how that makes it easier to see into the shadows? Don't judge exposure/brightness of an image based on a monitor with the brightness turned all the way up, that gives you a totally misleading view, you need to look at the histogram of the image luminance distribution. Always, when looking at image luminance for stills or video, you gotta keep the brightness and contrast of your display turned down low, and use the histogram(s).

I left you some feedback on how to make the angle-switching cuts work much better on your previous video, I'm gonna copy-and paste it here too, as it still applies. Cutting to a lower and slightly-wider angle shot isn't working either.
Former filmmaker, current developer - I am just going to give you two specific tips that would help it work a bit better:
I don't think you should entirely give this up, it's not a bad idea. It's just badly executed.
1) get rid of the dissolves between those two angles, just use hard cuts (EDIT: You're doing this now, and it's definitely better!)
2) try to crop/zoom the side angle tighter or much wider to make the cut work better. Usually the rule of thumb for cutting between shots of the same subject you need a change of a full "size". e.g. Mid shot to Medium Close Up if going tighter, or Mid shot to Wide shot if going wider. MCU to CU isn't enough, Mid shot to Long shot isn't enough, either.
One other benefit of tip #2: If you cut in tighter, you don't need to turn the full 90-degrees. You'll be able to get away with a 30-45 degree turn which will make the timing between the lines and the "beats" you want to hit MUCH easier. (EDIT: You've already started doing this, but it's not completely working because the framing isn't strong enough of a change)
Okay, here's another bit of feedback for why I think it isn't working so well: The lighting on your main camera angle isn't working so well on you with camera to the side. It works okay though, in black and white/grayscale.

@zaneenaz4962 For the same reason half the men in Europe were slain in WW1, for the benefit of the money-men, and for the sake of pride.
The Parable of the Old Man and the Young
By Wilfred Owen
So Abram rose, and clave the wood, and went,
And took the fire with him, and a knife.
And as they sojourned both of them together,
Isaac the first-born spake and said, My Father,
Behold the preparations, fire and iron,
But where the lamb for this burnt-offering?
Then Abram bound the youth with belts and straps,
And builded parapets and trenches there,
And stretched forth the knife to slay his son.
When lo! an angel called him out of heaven,
Saying, Lay not thy hand upon the lad,
Neither do anything to him. Behold,
A ram, caught in a thicket by its horns;
Offer the Ram of Pride instead of him.
But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of Europe, one by one.

@Rabbithole8 You said, I am quoting you:
> Israel presents the truth blemishes and all
Yet you also say that the government doesn't. So you are either talking out both sides of your mouth, or not expressing yourself well at all. Well, when people talk about Israel, they are talking about the government and successions of government. I never once said "Israelis" as in all the individuals. You've also said you are not Israeli, if I am correct? If that's the case, why do you feel the need to Stan for them? Am I right in guessing you are Jewish, then? Listen, if you were Palestinian I bet you would have a completely different point of view and that is what people like you cannot do, you cannot put yourself in their shoes. I am completely capable of understanding how Israelis feel and sympathetic to their desires, that doesn't make those desires fair, and their belief that they are "God's Chosen" and "God gave us Israel" doesn't validate any of their claim to the land, but I so often hear it brought up. You mention 'antisemitism', but how you described Palestinians is full of an equal degree of bigotry, Palestinians just don't get a special privileged word for it.
In answer to your question, I don't need to point out the corruption and cynicism of Arab leaders, because they are thoroughly covered in the west. I push back against narratives that flatter the State of Israel and the foundation of Israel, because that is what we in the west have been bombarded with all our lives. Especially with this video which is blatant Israeli government propaganda, designed to manipulate the citizenry of foreign countries. This video is produced as part of information warfare, and your initial comment completely reeks of the stench of it. Got it? Jews aren't special cases of human beings, they are equally capable of deceit, being murderous and evil as they are able to being lied about, murdered and have evil done to them.

Weeeelllllllllll... officially, yes, you are right. And until the Pentagon offers proof to the contrary, I agree, Starlink is no more a "weapon of war" than a Toyota Hilux.
(Whilst I agree with you, it would not surprise me at all if Starlink was always designed and developed for military application, contrary to whatever we are told. That doesn't mean that Musk did the wrong thing, far from it, and even if it was secretly bankrolled by the Pentagon, the request was made by the Ukrainian government, not the USA)

@themalacast I live in a shitty little city in Eastern Europe these days, and let me tell you, as an ordinary, non-disabled person, you should count your blessings that the ADA exists and is enforced. It has massive downstream effects for everyone, including on sidewalks and pavements. Try riding a bicycle, pushing the pram or stroller with your baby or little kid around town where you don't have any of the pesky demands of the ADA. Libertarians are so absurd (I'm as anti-leftist as it gets by the way), you live in a country with something like the ADA and have never had to deal with life in a place that doesn't have any of it, so you think that all it comes down to is a question of trade-offs. No, pal, once you have essential minimum standards that actually provide for things to be practical and functional and consistent, then and only then is it right to worry about the trade-offs of whatever you might consider doing above that. I hate all governments, I loathe all building inspectors getting paid thousands and thousands for doing basically nothing, I like to bitch and moan as much at the next guy, but again, try living in a society without proper roads and pavements of the standard you are used to, and see how you like it. Then, magnify the pain, frustration, and outright inability of access tenfold for disabled people. There are very few genuinely good pieces of legislation out there, and the cost of the ADA is essential because it provides essential requirements.

@conormcmenemie5126 They do have a gigantic amount of ICBMs. The most in the world. Keep not taking them seriously. Unlike America, the Russians actually do have working, battle-tested hypersonic technology. You guys are nutty, the "evil-doers" are better at this stuff than Lockheed-Martin. You should be very suspicious of all these contractors. The incredulity of this channel is absurd, the magical claims of stealth has never been proven in combat, the missile range of Zircon is 2000km and it's already on Russian submarines. These submarines are a lot more "stealthy" and longer-range than any airplane and they are real. I live right next to Russia in the EU, I am very aware of the threat they pose and I'm not stupid enough to believe in American hype, and I'm old enough to remember past last Tuesday. This video is promotional material for Lockheed-Martin, nothing more, there's not one single piece of verified evidence or data for the projected capabilities of the SR-72. So far American hypersonic technologies have been a bust... maybe this time it's different, or maybe those "busts" are part of a disinformation campaign (that is entirely possible), but either way you should all be a bit more suspect. I think the plane looks amazing, and the Blackbird is one of the most beautiful planes ever made, and yes it was a completely secret program for decades before its existence was known... So the Darkstar could already be for real for all any of us know... but using talking points about the USSR which hasn't existed for over 30 years, in to dismiss the threat of combat-tested Russian hypersonic technology and the invaluable data sets they have from using them, and other capabilities just to make the claimed capabilities of a secret Lockheed-Martin project is really weak.

That's not even the most crucial aspect. The scale of immigrants means that integration is impossible. You cannot integrate that many people. No society can, period. Yes, it is magnified when the immigrants have a shared ethnic background, shared cultural background, and shared religious background, which effectively none of them want to abandon. They aren't coming to Sweden or any other country to become Swedes, and, guess what, they can't do it even if they wanted to, because we are the product of our upbringing and environments, we aren't just indistinguishable biomass that you can plop down in another place and adjust and convert to another way of of life. It's not a failing or ill of the immigrants part, expecting them to magically integrate is utopian delusion not grounded in any reality, it is denying NATURE. The ones to blame for all this are Swedes themselves, specifically elites in politics and media and their useful idiots who clap like seals at their delusional policies which sound nice and fluffy.

@gutsfinky Vox is a lying propaganda machine, no doubt. The only reason I keep getting ads for this channel is because he is massively funded to spout propaganda, too. This is literally a propaganda channel, not a 'humble tour guide' 😂
I decided to watch the video I kept getting ads for, because I'm open minded and neutral on this conflict, and as suspected, propaganda. Of course the Palestinians lie, too, and omit their crimes and violence, but they never gassed anyone or ethnically cleansed them from their land, the justifications are irrelevant. One side are the bigger liars.
