Loved the lesson! I liked that you used an analogy for novice understanding, and consuming a real-time API. Happy coding!

I really appreciate the speed of your delivery. SO many coding videos, courses and such the presenter speaks so quickly that you have to rewind just to take in what they said. Would happily pay for any courses you put together.

Did Twilio for this video? because if they did, it would be nice to mention it and if they did not this is some nice detailled free advertisement they just got.

This was explained well but it was really challenging to listen to due to the scratchiness in your voice. Please drink water regularly and be sure to get plenty of sleep.
