Making YouTube videos to retain knowledge.
In 2020, I wanted to learn about micro-services so I made a project to learn the basics of Docker and containerize a web app.
If I went back now to read the code, I'd have no idea what's going on. Fortunately, I made a detailed video[0] explaining the workflow and I can always reference that if I want to pick up where I left off. It's also nice to see that nearly ~2k people found that video useful.
Whenever I learn a new technology/framework, I immediately make a short video about it, and I OFTEN come back to reference that video at later dates.

- methusala8 5y agoWhat tools do you use to make youtube videos? Would you mind sharing the setup? Thanks.
- SuboptimalEng 5y agoDiagram: Draw.io Thumbnails: Canva Editing: Da Vinci (more powerful than iMovie) Screen capture: OBS (less resource intensive than QuickTime)
- methusala8 5y agoDo you use a GPU for Video editing? I have read online that Da Vinci needs a GPU .Thanks.
- tmaly 5y agoNot OC, but I use Camtasia for screen recording and editing. Audacity for cleaning up audio. Gimp for making thumbnails.
- methusala8 5y agoThanks. I am looking for free software. I think Camtasia becomes paid after the 30 days trial.
- tmaly 5y agoI opted to buy it. The price point is much lower than Adobe products as you don’t need a subscription. The learning curve is also much lower. You can pick up everything in 1-2 hrs
- methusala8 5y agoDoes it need a lot of RAM for video editing? If you do not mind sharing, what are your system specs, esp if you are using windows. Thanks.
- tmaly 5y agoI have used it on 16GB before, but currently I use it on Windows 10 with 32GB ram, SSD drive. It works very smoothly.
