I'm seeing these video interviews more and more; I really wish people would start posting transcripts alongside them. I don't want to devote 30-, 45-, 60-, however-many minutes to watching a video that may or may not be useful.
- vaksel 17y agothere are text excerpts below the video
- AndrewWarner 17y agoI post them below my videos. I need to find a way to make it clearer.
- mahmud 17y agoAndrew, fwiw, you have the highest ratio of useful-content / whiny-feedback out of any site that makes it to HN. It must be viscous preparing interesting interviews when you know you will catch the most flack for some tangential thing you "did". P.S. This is in no way meant to slight the grandparent; I just keep seeing complaints in mixergy threads, even though I find the content most interesting (yes, the transcripts have been there for a while too :-)
- AndrewWarner 17y agoI'm trying to use the feedback to improve my work. Before reading HN feedback, I didn't realize how important transcripts are to people. Now I try to add them to every interview. Thanks to a few private message that I got from HN'ers, I even figured out how to use Mechanical Turk to get transcripts that are faster and cheaper than I can get anywhere else (though, admittedly it's not a perfect system).
