If you're anything like us, your KZfaq recommendations are full of Jeff Delaney's videos - most of you probably know him under a different name however: Delaney is the creator and mastermind behind @Fireship, famous for his enigmatic voice, his "100 seconds of Code" series and dry humour. We traveled to Arizona to meet the man, the myth, the legend, and ask him some questions about programming and his KZfaqr journey. How did he go from wanting to be a pilot, to an accountant, to a self-taught web developer, to teaching code to millions of people?

As an introvert, this guy and this video are super inspiring to me, I have toyed with the idea of starting a YT channel just for an "experiment" too but always thought I'd be too boring. Really great video and insight, seems like such a nice guy and got his head screwed on in all the right ways, doing life right for sure.

There are a lot of humans. No matter what your idea is, there will always be some people who find it amusing and interesting. And there will also be people who find your idea boring and worthless. If you like making videos, don't think you might bore someone. Just keep pushing your videos, learn from your mistakes, and someday you will find yourselves some loyal followers who can help you PUT FOOD ON YOUR FAMILY.

I was burned out after a whole year of coding and sort of started avoiding anything related to programming. I would hate the tutorials or projects ideas pop on my YT feed at that time but his thumbnails seems interesting and less boring. So I started binging his videos for a month straight and it revived my interest in tech and programming.
