Just for reference, 'michielsikkes' posts are all showing up 'dead' - if you check 'show dead' you'll see them.

Appears to be the original author, somebody should probably unban him.

This is more about HTML/CSS/jQuery coding than about Rails. Nevertheless, insightful video in a typical development process.

9 minutes in and I wanted to cry that this guy isn't using twitter bootstrap...

Thanks for sharing, the shadow-box trick it really enhance the page. I don't know if you use it, but LiveReload (livereload.com) can help speed up the refresh page each time that you change something (html, css).

Really enjoyed this video, one tip I could offer though is to setup snippets for HTML when creating divs. Speeds up development time a lot when you just have to write div+tab and then add your class/id.

It's a shame the video is too low res to actually read the code!

Thats a limitation of the embedded player, if you go direct to youTube you can bump it to 1080p: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYrbc-g6R-U

Edit: Seems you can actually bump to 1080p in the embedded player also, my mistake.

I can bump it up in the embedded player... It also helps to enable fullscreen on the player.

Original resolution is an option in the player for me -- all 2560x1440 pixels of glory.

Works for me too! Now someone needs to build YouTube a 8x speed multiplier.

It's not quite 8x, but this $30 program lets you play flash videos from 1/3 to 5x speed: http://www.enounce.com/compare-myspeed

Interesting :) Thanks for the link!

Love your music choice - are you streaming from a service or do you just have an awesome music library?

One of his tabs is http://nederland.fm

Rather beautiful website dont you think ?

any other videos like this?

Does anyone know of videos like this for Clojure?

Here's Chris Granger building a Clojure/ClojureScript application that plays sounds via overtone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcRQFGtFiyE .

Is this the new trend of overcoming procrastination? I like it!

I'm doing something similar with all my personal projects, but not quite a live video, more a time lapse style so a picture every 30 seconds. It's not for overcoming procrastination for myself, but to focus me & stop me instinctively browsing my regular sites when a difficult section arises.

It's also prompting me to become more efficient as I know when the project is finished & the video compiled it will be watched by my peers who will hopefully provide some insightful feedback!

Right. I haven't tried recording my development, but I'd imagine that this really focuses you.

It reminds me of pair programming -- you're not going to just stop in the middle and go look at HN or go down some man page rat hole tweaking something that isn't going to help you achieve the larger goal that you sat down to reach when you have another developer looking over your shoulder. Shame and ego are such great motivators. :)

I need to give this technique a try, even if I have no intention of every posting any videos.
