Hook first -> teach well -> sell later
This is @aarondfrancis's basic formula for making videos developers wanna watch.
- teach a “pop educational” nugget devs care about
- don't address the nugget straight on, but package it within an application dev problem.
- e.g. Nugget: background jobs. Wrapper: how to send 50k onboarding emails in your SaaS
- add your personality and curiosity
- let people discover your product as a 2nd-order effect

Got to talk at @aiDotEngineer conf last week about the need for collaborative AI engineering.
All our current coding agents are single player. We're trying to scale up individual productivity, but creating tons of alignment problems in the process.
We have no good tools for...
🫡 @aiDotEngineer in London was extremely good. Absolutely incredible speaker line up, great curation, escaped the Silicon Valley bubble masturbation. Would go again.
We'll be open-sourcing a docker-compatible cli for firecracker that will help with building your own sandboxes

People are trying to make PRs the place to do collaboration and alignment. But they are a terrible place to do that because they're at the end of a process
