Make Coding Fun Again!
I post short videos; occasionally irrelevant, but hopefully innovative and informative.
See them here and on my 🎥 YouTube channel:

Software engineering is a team sport. Learning to code at University, bootcamps, self-taught, hobby projects, open source, all that is all fantastic. But when you want someone to pay you, it often requires more than just code skills.

The other approach would be to say that since the Cloud LLM providers ignore copyright when they generate models, that you cannot claim copyright on AI generated output. Which is basically the end of copyright, and maybe that's okay. Society evolves past many ideas.
Valid concerns about mass harvesting of open source code (and art,science,literature,etc) by proprietary Cloud LLM providers without any attribution, who generate proprietary work from it. I don't know the solution. Perhaps a tithe of their profits could go to original creators.

Good morning. My video was published yesterday about me trying to use clang format to bring order to C code.

In Python, you are given no choices. But in libertarian C world, formatting code is choose your own adventure. This video has my adventure.

They are wrong about Python!
Long-form version on YouTube:

My latest YouTube shows how I made my latest short using just Linux, Free Software, Sellotape and String. While my recording and editing skills may be dire, I am not one of those Linux tubers who cheats by recording Linux from Windows or Mac.

Python code is cheaper to develop and faster to deploy. A lot of the production quality is already is baked into the interpreter.

Does Python get enough hate?
You can guess that I say no, but I also explain why in two minutes.

Sometimes YouTube shows my videos to people, other times it does nothing, but when I post my video to X and get five external viewers, YouTube suddenly wakes up and realises I made a video and it shows it to 50 people.
Sorry. Bear with me. Currently doing an experiment that if I spam my video to X a lot, and I get a few viewers whether YouTube responds by actually showing it to a few people. Seems to be true so far.
