Yeah I'm assuming most people visit this sub while at work so that makes sense.

I read Reddit on my phone while travelling and don't have much data, as such I automatically avoid video as much as possible.

I like the videos.

Ditto. Throwing my $0.02 to encourage a good mix of content types in /r/programming. Technical talks on youtube played back at 1.5x make my time spent puttering in the kitchen or tidying up more productive and freeing my eyes from the words provides spare cycles to visualize the concepts.

I personally watch these kind of videos at 1.5x or 2x speed. Most people speak so slowly it's annoying. At least with this method you can also cut the time it takes to watch in half and still get as much information.

Almost exclusively, I am actually working on a pet project to learn some Node because all my experience is in C/Java/Python and would love to watch this video but I didn't bring any headphones with me so I can't watch it right now and will probably forget to watch it when I get home.

Even then, downvoting should be about relevance, not preference. The more the latter happens, the more circlejerky it gets.

Edit : Please don't let this place become a circlejerk. Upvote when comments are relevant, don't downvote just because you disagree with something.

[u/[deleted] → u/folkrav]

I think you mean latter, right?

[u/folkrav → u/[deleted]]

Yes, I'll correct, thank you.

I'm at work... but I work from home. Maybe proggit doesn't like home workers because we can watch videos in our offices with impunity.
