Content consumption is hard. With the amount of AI generated crap out there along with the dynamic and ever evolving landscape of the web; even when I try watching videos on youtube leisurely it becomes a binging session with hard disciplined study following each video. After about a year of such binge sessions and learning new technologies and stacks I realised my YouTube watch later and favourites playlists contents have become textbooks in themselves.
So here I am, a fullstack web dev trying to annotate my thoughts as I go along surfing the web on my learning journey. From Java to PHP and from react to htmx I’ll try to cover all kinds of content to learn and discover more and more about this strange world of web and leave no stone unturned. After 2 failed attempts at microblogging, this is gonna be a new take but with a twist.
Concept - each post contains a video
Followed by the contents covered in the video and my thoughts on it. Highlighting the important parts (almost like TLDR). The goal is to make it like a diary entry of notes which I can refer back to when I think about something from any of the old videos or if I want to, a refresher to any of them.
I’m still working on the order of videos to cover. So stay tuned. The goal is to make 2 posts a week covering 2 elaborate videos. Feel free to follow me to get updates on upcoming posts and let’s begin the Dev Bytes!

I totally get that feeling - my watch later looks the same way. Are you planning to use any special tool to organize your notes beyond the blog?
Maybe mostly notion. It helps me kanban out the posts and as I plan to write them in parallel maintain them easily
Been there, and respect for actually sticking with it this time - hope you keep pushing, even on the boring days.
