I'm loving the synthy 80s ident. @eastdakota any chance of a link to the musician who wrote it?
I'm a generally technical person and I'm simply flat out uninterested in video content - the stuff that will be on this sounds broadly interesting to me but I'd rather read it in article format. I understand video "performs" well in a lot of contexts (and thus is of particular interest to marketing people) but I am always surprised when content targeted broadly towards the technical community is done in a video-first…
I'm a dev and enjoy my articles too, but I'd say I perform better with videos in some domains. The first one to come to mind if mechanic work. If I want to learn how to change a mass inflow sensor, it's way easier to watch the job be performed than to read a description, even with pictures.

After reading the schedule... I understand how this benefits Cloudflare, but I don't really see why I'd tune in. Seems like a mix of Cloudflare ads and "technical" content that is barely technical . More vague TED Talk-style philosophy. If I had to describe who I felt was the target demographic, I'd name middle managers who work in tech but don't actually know much tech. I mean they have someone from McAfee talking a…
I'm wrong about all sorts of things, but I have a funny feeling that we're going to look back someday and see this as the first of many companies of a significant size launching something that looks just like a TV station. I can't emphasize how incredibly brilliant this is: it appears to be a perfectly curated combination of pure marketing webinar, tutorials, educational lectures and who knows what else. This is an e…
IMO this might serve two purposes -- marketing and to showcase the fact that they can run your TV station. This might be advertisement/marketing on two levels; both consumers and large corporations that might want to host a TV station.

A quick shazam yields "Particle House Feat. Le June - I Don't Mind." Cloudflare seems to be using the instrumental version [found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63P67ZdKhXk ]
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Once you understand the basics a high quality factory service manual is tough to beat. There’s plenty of low quality FSMs though, and most aftermarket repair manuals are awful. Videos can be helpful for learning fundamentals, but when I’m stuck on a specific problem not covered by the FSM, finding a hint or workaround happens fastest by searching forums rather than scrubbing through YouTube videos.
