How should someone contact you? I looked into setting up something on an Arduino last year, and the CO2 sensor I ended up purchasing was not very good, so it's cool to see someone thinking about this problem domain.

I'm not sure which claim you're looking for a citation for, but if it was the CO2 and cognition claim, then I have a few for you. This study made quite a few ripples when it came out: https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi&

I don't think this is what OP was talking about: if your mental model of what the code is going to do is correct, then sure, you can just read the code and find bugs. AFAICT, OP is talking about debugging as updating your incorrect m

The phoneme-grapheme correspondence in Spanish is better than English, but let's not pretend it is 1:1. Does it account for assimilation in rapid speech? Does it account for coarticulation of adjacent consonants? Does it account for re

Vowel shift is a term of art in linguistics, so I'm not sure the pun would be worth it.

I think this works very well for some use cases, but it misses out on one of the biggest value-adds of YouTube: discovery. YouTube allows you to find other related content; any competitor needs to provide something similar.
