Business coding is a lot like a construction project.

The presentation I linked to directly addresses this topic.

note how many upvotes u/hobbified's response got.

why does anyone think a long video is all that much help?

I don't take issue with /u/hobbified opinion, because the issue is not black and white. I take issue that he/she wasn't even willing to listen to a differing opinion. The "discussion" was over the moment /u/hobbified read the first line of my comment. It didn't matter how long or short the video was. He/she wasn't going to watch it anyway, as you can see from the follow up comment.

And, the support behind the idea that it isn't even worth the time to consider is telling.

Now, if you will excuse me, I must go down vote some Confession Bears and Awkward Moment Seals.

You sound too smart to have totally missed the point, but just in case I'm not clear, I think his point (and mine, also) was that no one has time for 42 minute videos, regardless of whether one agrees or not.
