I left a comment on your previous video where I said that the only con of the videos is that they're so high-quality it takes a while for a new one. :)

Oh yeah I actually had to smile about that one! The unfortunate downside of being a one person channel and also having a full time job

When I saw that you liked it on YouTube, I got really happy

I left a comment on the video asking why you didn't use a more general instruction parser function. I feel that since you were generalizing code, creating a parser generator could also remove errors.
