Produce, publish, and iterate on educational video — long-form, screencast, live coding, or short-form — at a quality bar that respects the viewer's time; then decide, on evidence rather than vibes, whether video belongs in your practice. A YouTube video is an asynchronous event-driven system: you ship the artifact, the audience consumes whenever, the algorithm is the message broker, and the feedback loop is two weeks long. Production cost is fixed per message regardless of delivery — and the broker decides delivery. If you're used to optimizing cost-per-message, this cost structure should make you uncomfortable; that discomfort is correct. The honest architectures are (a) a cheap-to-produce format with a sustainable cadence, or (b) video as a supplement to a primary medium with cheaper production. Almost no engineer should make video the primary channel.

I want to say something most curricula on this topic won't, because they are written by people who teach video for a living and have a vested interest in pulling you onto the plat…
Most engineers will avoid this module. Camera-shyness is real; production overhead is real; the algorithmic economics are vicious. None of that is a reason to skip. The only good …
1. Watch one full video from each model, with notes on pacing, production, and teaching density per minute. 2. Pick your model and write down why. 3. Acquire minimum-viable produc…
3 lessons. Read in order; spiral back when you need to. By the end you'll have used the core ideas twice — once on the abstract, once on something you'll meet at work next week.
