Oh hey, that's me!

A better link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf_ddGnum_4 which has chapter marks and has the power outage in the middle spliced away :p


Hi Jon, thanks for recording! I'm excited to watch this. Do you happen to know why captions aren't enabled on your videos? Oftentimes the issue is that the video's primary language isn't set. Once this is done, youtube will probably caption the rest, though I'm not sure if that's true of videos of all lengths.


Hope you enjoy it! I have captions "enabled" (and primary language set) on all my videos, but my experience has been that YouTube is very hit-or-miss with whether it adds auto-caption to longer videos (somewhere around 2h seems to be the limit). Sometimes it appears later, it just takes a while, other times it just never manifests. It's unfortunate, but as far as I can tell there's nothing I can do about it :'(


Hi Jon, challenge author here! First time watching your content, it was fun to see a Rust expert go through the challenge live. Saw the first hour, I noticed that during Bencode parsing, trying to find the most elegant way to implement it slowed you down a bit. (I also have this tendency and I'm sure having so many viewers doesn't help :)) Great progress by the way in 4 hours, hope you get to finish the challenge soon!


thanks Jon really enjoyed the process. I always wondered why oci registries don't bit torrent the images. now I understand why they might not have been fond of the approach.


Hey! Came across your videos randomly a few months ago and just wanted to say great content. Funny running into you here.


Thank you for pointing this out. I only got to catch the tail end, but it was really cool to watch.


You can re-watch it using the same URL if you want to see it from the beginning.


There's also a copy of the livestream on Twitch [0], for those who are blocked on YouTube.

It is amazing to see him code. Are there other expert programmers out there who code in Python (instead of Rust)?


What a fun live-stream
