With respect, you save time making 30 minute videos, but everyone else then wastes time watching your video looking for info.
I prefer it if people just write it down so I can ctrl-f or find it in a web search and get what I need instead of sitting through your videos.
For general "welcome to Team X!" onboarding or training though I agree that videos have benefits. But for day to day knowledge and docs I couldn't think of anything worse, although it seems to work for you and it is popular on YouTube for some things (e.g. Unity game dev content seems be be pretty much 100% video based - if I just need to know how to set up something in the UI like character rigging or wheel physics etc, I often have to sit through 30min videos to find the 15 seconds where they show what buttons to click etc - if it was on a web page I could just skip right to it)
- watwut 6y agoI prefer documents too. But the fact is, the choice is between nothing at all and videos.
- photojosh 6y agoI just love YouTube's automatic transcripts for this. Open, copy it into a text document so you can read it in a bigger window, then ctrl-f. You can skim it quickly to find the key point you're after. Sometimes things will be transcribed incorrectly but the surrounding context helps.
