Excited to check out this series and glad that Antirez took the time to make it. Would be cool to see more people make this kind of thing in the same mold of this and the DHH series from the last few weeks. Very interesting to hear something like a person's inner monologue while they're writing and reading code.

Yes, I wonder if Antirez is inspired by DHH making these videos.

  He says exactly that in the first 15 seconds of the video.

    Indeed I totally followed DHH example, it looked like a great thing if done by multiple persons and personally I would like to see videos like that in different areas of design than programming.

I missed the DHH series. Do you have a link? I haven't been able to find them.

    The series moved to a channel called "Getting Real" where Jason Fried also publishes videos about design decisions. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdx5Dk3EWTe2i8YDA7bfl6g/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdx5Dk3EWTe2i8YDA7bfl6g/vid...

I've been trying similar-style videos on advanced data analysis/visualization since such screencasts are an unexplored area (my most recent video using Stack Overflow data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OeyTfp7eq8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OeyTfp7eq8) but there are a few snags which make it less accessible for anyone to do: 1. It requires subject preparation to avoid going off on a tangent. (in the case of the video above I cheated and use prewritten code, and the video was still 30+min long.) 2. It requires specialized software and hardware that's not free. (good recording software + good mic + good webcam are $50-100 each) 3. It requires good hardware preparation too (e.g. precise placement of the mic and good light for webcam, so I couldn't record at night) 4. It requires time for editing (unless in my case you slap on background audio and call it a day) I bought a new mic since I was unhappy with the audio quality in that video, and am taking steps to refine video focus.

  What recording software do you use?
  - minimaxir 9y ago
    Screenflow (https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm), which is the same software used for OP's video.

  >good light for webcam Studio lighting would solve that and falls into your mentioned price range per item.
