This was a ton of fun and I'd love to do it, or a modified shorter version of it again. It's hard to shut down the rest of my life for an entire week, but maybe a long weekend. Or I could do a week where the computer is taking screenshots 9-5 and I pre-commit to post the video as soon as it is over.

Yes, this was all inspired by Nick Winter's epic 120-hour workweek, which he posted a time-lapse video of. Here's a direct link to his video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0qlr22cF14

And while I'm at it, direct link to Bethany's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODhx-CbX9lg#t=40

This is pretty fun. Did you have any concern about privacy of her sessions? Thanks for the post and conclusions.

I ended up spending an embarrassing amount of time on the post processing because I didn't spend enough time on setup ahead of time :)

I used https://github.com/nwinter/telepath-logger to take screenshots. I meant to have it take a screenshot of my top monitor only, and do anything sensitive on my laptop screen, but I didn't configure it correctly, and wound up with screenshots of my active window only, so I had to do some censoring, e.g. when I needed to edit our keys file, or when I blurred out the screenshot when I had to do some customer support.
