Your videos are so good, help me understand cmake a lot , huge thanks, please keep working

[@jordan4220]

Happy to see clear concise videos on cmake. I've seen it used incorrectly quite often. I'm still learning the right way to use the tool and your videos help a lot. Would help if you provided videos on target installing too with copying over a libraries public header structure, I think that would be super useful!

Hand in-lining this stuff is tempting when a project is first starting, but as it grows it just turns into what you said: spaghetti code

[@jeffersonamstutz]

I’m still alive! 😅 I’ve had too many good things going on in life, but as some things start to clear I certainly want to get back to making videos again. Thanks for the support!

seems linux, but it isn't. It is very clean. What is your ide? online IDE?

All VS Code on Ubuntu 20.04! I record on my Mac though with VNC from the Mac to my Ubuntu workstation. Also using the dwm window manager and zsh for my shell, but everything else is pretty much stock Ubuntu. I get VS Code and CMake via snap instead of apt...been loving it!
