I quit my job. My last day is next Friday. I have 2 years' worth of living expenses saved up and the conviction that I'll find a way to make it work.
I've spent 2021 developing self-respect and solidifying self-care routines. I started a regular fitness practice, quit alcohol and stimulants, and grew closer to friends and family. Over the holiday period, I've reflected, and realised: I care so much about my body, what I put into it, and how I look after it - so why don't I have the same respect for my time, and what I spend the vast majority of my day doing?
In the short term, I will create the best free Java tutorial videos in the world. I think the state of Java tutorials on YouTube is currently poor, full of misinformation and inefficient scripting. And I intend to change that. My first: https://youtu.be/CN27X68YO4I https://youtu.be/CN27X68YO4I.
- truly 5y agoAwesome! Thumbs up on the video, it is good []. What software are you using to do the editing/screen recording? [] I would personally prefer if it were faster.
- jrh206 5y agoThank you! I'd prefer it to be faster too, I sort of rushed this one out as a POC. The next one will be a tighter. I used Final Cut Pro, but tbh I didn't like it very much. I'm going to try Premiere next. I recorded it in IntelliJ with the built-in mac screen recorder (QuickTime). I used a plugin for the presentation-mode theme, but I've since got a new computer and I can't remember the name of it right now...
- truly 5y agoI am making do with free video editing (OpenShot, and then moved to ShotCut), but I guess they are not as refined as Premiere.
- splittingTimes 5y agoThat's great. I'll be watching you. Can we request topics? Cheers mate
