It thrives on collaboration. + +00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:37.579 +It's not a solo endeavor; + +00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:41.139 +it flourishes best when we do it together. + +00:03:41.140 --> 00:03:44.099 +This involves collaborating together, + +00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:46.179 +creating a collaborative mindset, + +00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:47.979 +sharing effective strategies, + +00:03:47.980 --> 00:03:49.075 +lifting each other + +00:03:49.076 --> 00:03:51.639 +through our collective pool of knowledge. + +00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:55.299 +Together, we contribute to the growth of each member + +00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:56.979 +within our vibrant community. + +00:03:56.980 --> 00:04:00.259 +Emacs learning is much, much harder to do alone. + +00:04:00.260 --> 00:04:03.299 +And I wanted to help with that. + +NOTE My YouTube journey + +00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:05.739 +So this brings me to the second part of my talk, + +00:04:05.740 --> 00:04:08.659 +my Emacs journey, how I got started + +00:04:08.660 --> 00:04:11.459 +and where I am today with my YouTube channel, + +00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:14.819 +my Straightforward Emacs series with nearly 200,000 views. + +NOTE Why not just read the manual? + +00:04:14.820 --> 00:04:18.219 +The Emacs Manual is often pushed + +00:04:18.220 --> 00:04:20.379 +as the best way to learn Emacs. + +00:04:20.380 --> 00:04:21.859 +It's an all-encompassing tome. + +00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:23.979 +And as amazing as I think it is, + +00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:25.179 +I don't think it's reasonable + +00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:27.579 +to push the Emacs manual so hard, + +00:04:27.580 --> 00:04:29.059 +which is something I felt at first. + +00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:31.599 +It can be really daunting. It's dense. + +00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:32.779 +There's a lot there. + +00:04:32.780 --> 00:04:34.539 +It's just a bit too much for a beginner, + +00:04:34.540 --> 00:04:37.419 +or even someone with a little bit of experience. + +00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:40.259 +These qualities, I feel, + +00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:43.179 +apply to many of the Emacs resources we can find out there. + +00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:45.179 +The best word for them is heavy. + +00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:48.099 +They look, they feel, they come across as heavy + +00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:50.739 +regardless of what they may actually be. + +00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:53.379 +It's not even that people are too lazy, + +00:04:53.380 --> 00:04:56.519 +or not capable enough (because that's never true). + +00:04:56.520 --> 00:05:00.539 +It's just a mental block that takes some getting over, + +00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:03.159 +and that's okay -- so we need other things, too. + +00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.859 +For me, that was video. + +00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:07.539 +I wanted someone to tell and show me + +00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:08.939 +what I wanted to know, + +00:05:08.940 --> 00:05:11.739 +as well as things I didn't even know were possible. + +00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:15.419 +I realized this once I'd progressed a little further + +00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:18.019 +in my Emacs journey. I wanted to do my part. + +00:05:18.020 --> 00:05:20.979 +I care about Emacs. I started to really care about Emacs. + +NOTE Why video for Emacs + +00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:24.319 +So I wanted to share about Emacs. + +00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:27.339 +So at that point, I refocused my work with Emacs + +00:05:27.340 --> 00:05:30.739 +beyond just myself. I wanted to help others + +00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:32.719 +feel the excitement that I did. + +00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.299 +So where did I turn, and why? + +00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:37.779 +It's so trite, but they say that + +00:05:37.780 --> 00:05:40.159 +a picture is worth a thousand words. + +00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:41.859 +So how much is a video worth? + +00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:44.219 +Everyone learns differently, and that's okay. + +00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:46.139 +But it's absolutely certain to me + +00:05:46.140 --> 00:05:48.319 +that you need to see something to believe it. + +00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:50.499 +So for that, I turned to video. + +00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:54.419 +And it turns out that seeing is believing. + +NOTE Straightforward Emacs + +00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:56.899 +I made a short video showing off Emacs Org Mode. + +00:05:56.900 --> 00:05:58.959 +I didn't even have a voiceover. + +00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:01.699 +That video, less than five minutes long, + +00:06:01.700 --> 00:06:04.339 +but still incorporating some of my core principles, + +00:06:04.340 --> 00:06:06.899 +now has over 55,000 views and counting. + +00:06:06.900 --> 00:06:09.459 +So, something must have been right. + +00:06:09.460 --> 00:06:11.219 +And the positive reception to that video + +00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:12.979 +made me want to continue. + +00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:14.939 +I decided to continue with the videos + +00:06:14.940 --> 00:06:18.779 +in a series I titled "Straightforward Emacs." + +00:06:18.780 --> 00:06:20.939 +And I'm asked: who is the target audience + +00:06:20.940 --> 00:06:23.899 +for Straightforward Emacs? It's me. + +00:06:23.900 --> 00:06:27.599 +They're the videos I wish I had existed + +00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:28.659 +when I was figuring out + +00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:32.699 +Emacs' numerous and wonderful features. + +NOTE Challenges and benefits of video + +00:06:32.700 --> 00:06:36.619 +Video does, I admit, come with its own set of challenges. + +00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:40.399 +Complaints that video is less accessible, it's valid. + +00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:42.459 +They're more time consuming, it's valid too. + +00:06:42.460 --> 00:06:45.059 +It's harder to skim a video than a blog post, + +00:06:45.060 --> 00:06:47.499 +and referring back can be a little annoying. + +00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:48.419 +To try and solve this, + +00:06:48.420 --> 00:06:50.739 +I make video notes available as best I can though. + +00:06:50.740 --> 00:06:54.399 +It's not perfect. Despite these valid claims, + +00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:57.379 +I believe video offers a sense of personality + +00:06:57.380 --> 00:06:59.219 +that written content just can't. + +00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:00.779 +And that makes it well worth it. + +00:07:00.780 --> 00:07:03.259 +My first two videos in the series + +00:07:03.260 --> 00:07:06.259 +received a combined 35,000 views. + +00:07:06.260 --> 00:07:08.019 +I still get kind comments today + +00:07:08.020 --> 00:07:10.459 +from viewers thanking me, asking questions. + +00:07:10.460 --> 00:07:12.779 +So I must have done something right, + +00:07:12.780 --> 00:07:14.499 +to outweigh those cons of video, + +00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:16.299 +to outweigh those common complaints. + +NOTE Crafting tutorials that work + +00:07:16.300 --> 00:07:21.659 +What was it? I covered topics that had been done before. + +00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:24.019 +But I wanted to present them in my way. + +00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:26.659 +In the way that I knew people would appreciate, + +00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:28.299 +because it's what I would have appreciated + +00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:30.919 +when I started my Emacs journey. + +00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.479 +In writing, I navigated towards clarity. + +00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.179 +Crystal clear, step-by-step instructions. + +00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:40.699 +Fully scripted, recorded in multiple parts and + +00:07:40.700 --> 00:07:43.179 +spliced together. That allowed me + +00:07:43.180 --> 00:07:48.599 +to achieve my second goal: no wasted time, or word, + +00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.819 +or thought.
