I understand your point of view about polishing, and from the other comments too it is a common theme.

I believe polishing will be needed, but that doesn't exclude the creation of also unpolished worked.

From all the feedback gathered I will:

  1. Live stream the unpolished work, this will help creating a sense of community and people would be able to be part of the short feedback loop
  2. Collect the most interesting parts from point 1 and create polished videos
  3. Write articles for whom prefers this media

Regarding the audience I'm not thinking of mid-senior developers that like to watch something on the second screen while working

The audience for such content is incredibly tiny, and those that watch it are not hiring people.

People have incredibly short attention spans these days. If your video isn't 20 second shorts with large text and jump cuts you will lose the viewer.

Video is a terrible medium in general.

You're not Tsoding/T3/Primeagen and you're better off spending your time elsewhere. Note-- their audiences are primarily young junior developers or developers to be.

Along these lines I was thinking why in the world would you be making videos for recruiters?

And (not criticism) why is how React works a showcase of your skill?
