Awesome what you're doing here with the video and the transcript. But can we make the transcript not include the pauses? It really throws me off the flow of the takeways when you put all the 'Ums' and 'Ahh's there in the transcript. It doesn't add at all to the message when reading it...
"Um, so, uh - so that was Twitch. And I'm going - I want to give you guys a little bit of a, uh - uh, a little bit of an insight into, uh, with Twitch what that, what that meant going to go talk to users."
I know keeping it real is great and all but for the people who are reading and not watching, it would be awesome if some editing could be used to make the read more succinct.

Minor irk of course, really appreciate what you've done otherwise, thanks.
I've had quite a lot of luck developing HTML/JS apps in Sencha Touch (very basic CRUD apps of course). Really noticed a speed improvement running the latest release on an iPhone 5S. Not sure how much room there really is for HTML/JS ports at this stage. Titanum was a let down for me. Am keen to try Xamarin next. Or just go native? Thoughts?...
Wow I'm really interested in this, but your reply from the get-go offers nothing. Why not actually deliver something meaningful for the HN audience off the bat instead of passing yourself off as an AMA celebrity while not really contributing to any of the points that the OP has made?
I may have bagged this game for being way too simple a few weeks ago. But after Flappy Bird, the genre seems to live on. It's annoyingly great. Keep up the good work!
Is it just me or does this feel too soon to really give two hoots about? 30 years is within my lifetime, just kinda feels like Mom pulling out old baby clothes and saying 'look at your old onesie!' Wow, looks a bit different to my own babies onesie which is still just as utilised today, but it's by no means a relic. Having said that we still get interested in 30000 year old excavated skulls (which most of us have and still use today). I guess it's the time / evolution factor. I'm just not that interested in this find. Seems more apt for HN readers in 3014.
For a more accurate, informative and very digestible history of the evolution of programming languages, I urge you to watch this. It really is worth it!
I used to work in IT recruitment, and had CV's coming at me every day. One particular candidate popped up in my database search who possessed the rare skill that I was looking for. Her last CV in our system was 3 years old. Anyway, I called her up and asked if she might be still in that field. It turns out the call was made in likely timing. She had just been divorced and explained that she was looking to get back into the workforce after being a homemaker for the past 3 years. I added a note to the call log for other recruiters who may see her record saying "Great candidate, gap in work history due to marriage. Now divorced and wanting to get back get back into the industry. Definitely worth interviewing!".
Now lets imagine that the agency I worked for was sold/aquired at some point and eventually resulted in a mailout being performed on the database.
You can imagine the result if the comment field was accidentally included in the mail-merge, or some substring of it;
"Dear Great candidate, gap in work history due to marriage. Now divorced and wanting to get back get back into the industry, have you considered funeral insurance?"
Pattio11's point is quite valid.
Edit: Sorry, hit the wrong 'reply' button. This post was meant for the parent
Can I just say; Your son is 11 and is making mobile apps in Objective-C. WOW. Kudos to him. He's shipping! That's really amazing and something to be celebrated in and of itself.
