Maybe, except that I have a bunch of things about data science and programming languages. And things like Git. And sometimes computer-industry history. And sometimes legal issues.
I could just define it as, "I'm interested in lots of cool programming languages, databases, and Web technologies, and the like." But that doesn't really help anyone. I figured that "full-stack developers" captured the majority of people who would be interested.
That's a great resource, I often find out about interesting talks on youtube quite some time after they have been uploaded, the rss feed of this will bring all that to me without actively checking.
Nice looking site! I'm in a doctor's office so I can't watch any videos, but I noticed something a little jarring in the experience and thought I'd report it.
Environment:
- iPhone 5c
- iOS 9.2 (fully up to date).
- Safari
Scenario:
- Load the page in landscape mode.
- Turn to portrait mode.
Result:
In portrait mode, above the fold, I get the top bar, four videos and the bottom bar. In landscape mode, above the fold, I get the top bar, one very large video title and the bottom bar.
Personally, I'd do a bit of work on your style sheet as the landscape experience doesn't work terribly well for me. With attention spans being what they are, I worry that only one title will lose a huge number of your potential users.
Otherwise, nice work - you've got some great videos on there.
I'll see what I can do in terms of the stylesheets, but I must admit that my oh-so-amazing design sense basically led me to use the default, built-in WordPress stylesheet. If someone here knows what tweaks I can/should make to improve the visibility in any direction or on any device, I'm more than open to suggestions.
It's really cool. I have a suggestion/request, it would be very helpful if the videos are tagged with their length and be categorized to <30 mins, <1 hr and so on.
This will really help to quickly watch a vid with the time in hand.
Someone contacted me on Twitter and asked if I could add a length, which I did (starting with the latest). A very smart idea from both of you!
The idea of categorizing by length is great, and I'll do it, because it's so easy (well, moving forward). However, most of these talks are conference talks, meaning that about 80-90% will be about 45-60 minutes long. So it'll probably be most useful for the outliers. But again, it's easy to do, so why not?

But hey, I'm open to suggestions...
It's like when you see people getting it on record that they would never use Javascript on the server.
Edit: There are feeds for tags as well, which makes this even more valuable, e.g. http://dailytechvideo.com/category/rust/feed/
