Earlier quoted context omitted.

What's interesting to me about the videos vs. the blog posts (I like both) is that only the video shows me the way you work. I'd love to see a video where you recreate finding a bug, how you worked to go from issue to repro to fix, just to see more of how you work.

Yes, this is definitely the power of the video, to explain the same in a blog post would be like a chapter, showing in this case is simpler. I'll consider doing bug hunting recording the whole session, and then editing accordingly (because it takes hours or days... for the interesting bugs).

Yeah, that is the hard bit of it for sure, that's why I thought maybe you could just sum up and demonstrate the steps you took after the bug hunt was over. But an edited version would be very cool too.

In case you are interested in providing feedbacks about the next episodes, my current list of potential ideas is: 1. Code snippets: show small self contained functions from random places inside Redis. 2. Redis Sentinel: the first design, the immediate redesign of v2, and how it is internally implemented. 3. The use of goto in Redis. 4. Redis protocol parsing and zero-copying of objects. 5. The odd Redis persistence m…

I'm actually waiting for S2E01 :)

I've always loved your LOAD81 project and would encourage you to return to it and add some new features - so maybe how you made it, what it can be used for, how you can extend it by adding functionality .. ? EDIT: I know its not as sexy as your Redis work, but I think there are a lot of wise nuggets in this project that other developers could learn from. http://github.com/antirez/load81.git

Thank you, I may indeed use some non-Redis part of code for the next episodes.
