Pretty good video. It's not like he explains how to do anything or even picks very good software to begin with, but his genuine excitement is really all that's required. Getting people interested is the important part, and they'll learn much better by using their own motivation. This video also gives off a strong "I'm an idiot, and if I can do it you can do it" vibe which can be really reassuring to those who are just too intimidated to even dip their toe in.
My problem is that I feel like the idiot among idiots so I'm still intimidated by it. I want to eventually take the plunge, but I am genuinely so fucking stupid when it comes to tech that I'm afraid I will break something if I try, lol.
Tech is made to make us feel stupid, so you are not alone in feeling that.
