Piggybacking to recommend another video of his, "The Hustle", which is a fast-paced memefest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o7qjN3KF8U

"Microservices" will always be my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ

this hit so close to home I didn't know whether to laugh or cry

I was recently reading an article by a Twitter engineering team member discussing how they're reworking a microservice and kept expecting them to mention Galactus at some point. It lives rent-free in my head. This video is a true masterpiece.
I like to sneak in a Galactus reference during system design interview rounds when I feel like I'm about to overengineer the whole thing. I haven't done many recently, but for sure if I'm doing interview rounds, I will try to sneak in some Krazam references.
Mine is "leadership sync":

If you ever worked in a dysfunctional org this video speaks volumes.

These are all great, and for me it's even weird to pick a favorite because somehow he's managed to put so much genius into all of those videos and in so many multifaceted ways, it's beyond me. What kind of job/career experience has he had to come up with all of that, so creatively and accurately?

I just don't get how he can have had all this experience and at the same time be able to come up with those creative videos while still holding those insights. Because there's so many clever little things implying he's seen a lot. And created those videos in parallel.

> What kind of job/career experience has he had to come up with all of that, so creatively and accurately?

One of them has been at Amazon for a while.

Seems like an accurate set of experiences of a 10-20 years long career.
this signal the death of the passive aggressive "take this offline" for me

also favorite comment "This video captures the absolute weirdness of millennials and zoomers inheriting the bureaucratic systems created by baby boomers"

I find it weird how so much generation discussion seems to skip gen x. I see references to boomer, millennial, and zoomer/gen z way way more often than gen x.
Gen X’s arc was going from Reality Bites/Wayne’s World slacker grunge culture into the stultifying white collar Office Space of the Matrix and then disappearing from the zeitgeist entirely after 9/11 made Fight Club’s ending sort of real.
As a Genuine Millennial (1986) who works around a lot of Gen X, I don't really perceive much of a difference between us tbh.
We are the "meh" generation -- I'm happy we're overlooked.
For me its Microservices and the whole Senior Engineer video (and especially the outtakes)

Gotta go get my new shipment of caterpillars. Astral Plane combat ftw.

Their commercial is a low-key banger

It's too clever and perfect - with all the cheese, and productivity messaging trying to make you insecure and everything with a corporate contrarian appeal. Everything Krazam is just so great writing down to detail.
for a few seconds I thought he was describing OAuth and OpenID... /j
