This would have been much better if it was just Casey.

The Primeagen feels like he's bringing Linux, neovim, programming et al to a new audience, in the same way that Low Level Learning [0] brings rust, assembly and reverse engineering to a younger audience. I don't think his style is for me personally, but I definitely feel the world is a better place with his voice in it.

  I followed the primagen briefly, and then unsubscribed. The primagen occasionally does super interesting content like this one video but otherwise his content is useless garbage on average. Some examples: reaction to other videos rating programming languages, reading out articles (like one guy shutting down some cloud services and instantly realising half a million bucks savings for the company) while commenting out loud but adding little to nothing useful, and some neovim videos where he basically copy-pastes some code here and there and sone functionality appears (without any actual explanation about how the code he pasted actually works). I like the guy, but i’ve realised that: 1. His content is not a good use of my time (wrt my interests and my skill level) 2. When he makes actually good content (like this one in this case) it’ll reach me anyway, somehow. Hence I unsubscribed.

    Completely agree. Most of his content appears to be clickbait garbage.

    Primagen is not everyones cup of tea. I enjoy his videos and he does it in a fun way. Could there be more value per minute, definitely. In his case, the medium is the message - keeping his twitch/youtube audience engaged with video means there are trade-offs. I find he does good within the medium in a honest way. Casey has his 'nominally' priced course, which is excellent. I recommend it.

    He did quit his job to do video content full time very recently, so hopefully there's more planned/quality stuff happening soon. As far as I can tell he's aware of where the content is right now and that it needs to expand.

Without a doubt. The other one is absolutely exhausting to listen to.

I like Primeagen, he brings entertainment to boring topics, I understand others might not like his style. I think we can leave it at that and not accuse him of drug abuse, lol.

  Entertainment? More like a lots of empty excitement.

    Well, you know, that's, like, your opinion, man.

    One persons empty excitement is another's entertainment I guess.

Definitely a stream best enjoyed in small doses

This video would certainly have been better if it was just Casey making a well-structured video about how CPUs work and how the article is wrong (and where the article is right). And that video would've reached his already existing audience of people who already know they're interested in that stuff. Being on Prime's stream hopefully exposes a lot of new people to both him and the topic as a whole.
