The fact that people now post 30 minute videos on YouTube and X to share technical knowledge rather than writing a blog post kills me. Video is such an inefficient medium and I don't have 30 minutes, please just give me a summary or a write up I can scan through.

I personally agree with the blog post request - I hate video for scrolling code.
"knowledge base" was easy but then it all shifted and now it feels like knowledge is hidden behind a pretty UI 😢
"Oh, you're on my team but didn't explicitly support my cause? Fuck you."
The ideal format for me is:
- end-result video: quickly make sure I want that
- gist/repo: usually enough
- write up explaining code/decisions: to clarify and dig deeper
