Hey Jeff -- Just wanted to say I really appreciate you taking the time to write stuff like this up. I know that may be 'the point' of what you're doing, but I also know from personal experience that writing up a comprehensive review/guide/benchmark (whatever you want to call this style of writing) can easily double to quadruple the time investment for a project.
Thank you for sharing the troubles and pitfalls for the rest of us to learn from, or even just reference.
- geerlingguy 6y agoI'd say doing the post + video at least 10x's the time involved in one of these projects. A lot of people can get to the 'I did this thing and I got it to work' stage. Getting to 'I did this thing and I can get it to work from scratch a 2nd time' is better. Getting to 'I did this thing and here's my documentation, enough to help you do it too' is my goal, for pretty much anything I work on.
- TimSchumann 6y agoI wasn't even talking about the video, just the write-up. I haven't done much, but video production seems like a black hole of space and time where things are never 'done' and eventually you just release it because it's the only way to stay sane. > Getting to 'I did this thing and here's my documentation, enough to help you do it too' is my goal, for pretty much anything I work on. As they say in the biz, 'You're doing The Lords Work'. Again, thanks, and much appreciated.
