I don't know if it's OK to re-post my comments here, but I gave a couple of suggestions in the comments for the episodes published on Jan. 17 and Feb 4.
Please I want more C++ and gui development. This is so much lacking.
Well, I can’t unsee Hotdog Stand (although I do remember it from that long ago time), but maybe my eyes will have recovered by the time the show comes back. 🙂
Lol at Hannah Montana linux distro hahhahah
Not really a desktop theme, but the Windows NT 4 desktop wallpaper, called Prairie Wind is has been my go to wallpaper ever since those days.
Looks like YouTube did some funkiness to the *guidelines for pinning link. Definitely would like to check that out!
Wow this idea seems promising, hope it keeps going.
Hello 👋🏼
I’m Peter and I enjoyed watching this episode. I hope you have a great break, it’s good to take time to recalibrate.
In terms of an idea we could see in the future: “Developer Translate” could be a good name. We can have a segment where a complex/difficult idea, task, feature is “translated”.
To me this would mean, we could break it down into a metaphor (hopefully a funny one) that most people can relate to.
See you soon!
sweet, pure vaporwave
