Great video with some tips I have not heard before concerning seemingly trivial decisions that cause serious issues as projects get larger.

The creator is an experienced programmer but seems brand new to making videos. That said, apart from an annoying number of calls for action ('leave a comment...'), it is well produced, especially for a first crack at the craft.

The waiting is the worst part.

Oh you mean waiting for him to reveal the big mistake? Yeah I almost mentioned that alongside the calls for action, it's annoying, but I was already blabbling.

...do you know where the name "Godot" comes from?

No, is it relevant? Help me out

EDIT: There's a play called Waiting for Godot, but the meaning of Godot is ambiguous
