@raroque Do you use any AI to edit your YouTube videos?
I'm thinking of shooting content again but in the past the editing process was a huge time sink.

I like the style of your videos and am looking for more-efficient ways to complete my videos moving forward.

@SferaDev Your code examples and diagram really helped to explain how the whole process works! Well done.

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

@SferaDev Fascinating to see how you used Cloudfare Workers to create Xata Workers to allow us to query our Xata DB without supplying any connection details.

Reminds me of Firebase Firestore Admin SDK (which also doesn't require connection details b/c it runs in a trusted environment)🏆

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

@xata @typeform @fabien0102 Well done @fabien0102! It looks extremely similar to to Typeform!

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

@xata @vercel @Netlify @github @exekias Love this concept. If it is as seamless as Vercel’s (code) branch preview deploys, then it has the potential to be amazing!

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

@xata @OpenAI @deverts_ Is that using Next.js's edge functions and streaming?

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

@xata Really interesting to see the diversity of innovation that you're working on! 🚀

I'd like to see a demo of subscribing to realtime updates from the database (akin to Firebase Firestore's listeners) if you have that available.

@Steve8708 I like how you set up Promise.allSettled() by showing the flaw in Promise.all() first.

QUESTION: how did you create the on-screen closed-caption effect where it prints the entire sentence in reduced opacity first and then prints fully-opaque words as you say them?

@clemmihai What drawing/presenting app did you use for your video walkthroughs on AlgoExpert?

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

(2/n) Where did you discover that technique? Or what made you think to do it?
Have other readers noticed it and what effect has it had on them?

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

@JonAcuff (1/n) I'm reading the kindle version of Soundtracks while listening to the audio book version of it...

I'm intrigued by your "hey I'm going off-script here in the audio book for a bit but will seamlessly dovetail back into the written copy in a minute" technique...

@vvanedwards Great talk at #GLS22!
Clarification question: Are the "highlight of your day" and "passion project" questions in Level 1 or Level 2?
In one place of the talk they seemed to be assigned to Level 1 and in another place to Level 2. Thanks!

I had been editing them on my local machine, committing them there, and then pushing them up to the repo to test them. Now, using the web editor, I can skip the push step.

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

Have you ever been on GitHub, looking at a code file and wished you could just edit or inspect it in VS Code without having to first clone it and open the editor?

While viewing the repo on GitHub, try pressing "."

Mind blown!

#github #code

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

When you use this GitHub web editor, you can commit your changes and it automatically pushes them as well. That, in turn, can trigger my CI/CD workflow actions so I can iterate on them quicker!

I don't want to duplicate my snippets in both `.../snippets/javascript.json` and `.../snippets/javascriptreact.json`

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

@markadamfoster
Good tip about how to get VS Code snippets to work inside Styled Components template literals!

[Jason Frank @jasonkylefrank]

@markadamfoster On a related note, have you found a way to place VS Code snippets somewhere such that they will work in EITHER javascript or javascriptreact files?
(".js" & ".jsx" files)
