I love Aaron, he almost makes me want to use PHP

[@aarondfrancis]

Almost! I'll get you yet

Aaron can do what many people have been trying to do for 20 years: convince your boss to use SQLite at work

[@skl9942]

Aaron is the Simon Sinek of PHP. Love to listen to this guy!

[@thisbridgehascables]

I’ve done long tutorial videos on KZbin, from PHP to Python to Go.. but I do stop and try the concepts and techniques. Love Aaron’s videos. Been a developer for over 15 years and now considering building a business.

I LOVED this talk. It validated a lot of thoughts I already had and also opened up some new perspectives as well. We should have business episodes more often!

[@he_johe]

I love the thought process of narrowing the scope and I totally agree that it help get things done!

[@emanuelturis4132]

Great topic at the beginning. The way more technical/how to content attracts an audience more eager to learn and actually buy courses is very interesting. 1k views is not the same for all types of content, and more importantly won't convert into revenue at the same rate always.

[@emanuelturis4132]

And it's actually very common to see influencers get huge audiences but have to resort to selling ad spots, since they have no idea how to turn that into sales.

[@emanuelturis4132]

Very very very interesting topic to listen to on a web dev podcast!

[@igbarcelou]

please start that real "My First $[0:5]Million"

[@mdndev2627]

That was super cool. Especially for the indie hackers that got this technical yet creative side and are interested in business. Hope you do more of these man ! 🐻🤙🏿🤙🏿🤙🏿

[@clayton.schneider]

Great episode. I enjoyed the business talk!

18:10 If I'm going in to a new technology (language, framework, stack, etc), I like to follow along to (or usually just skim through) one of the longer 1-4 hour videos to see how all the primitives fit together to form a whole system / app. Once I know the basics of the technology I don't find them useful, and I reach for docs / shorter videos which dive deeper into whichever specific part I'm stuck on.

[@Oncopoda]

Most people are sleeping while your 7-8 hour video plays in the background. That's just the truth.

[@abdelilahou2822]

Maaaannnnn be waiting for this ❤

43:45 HTMX horse is coming in peace.

[@Mitth-raw-nuruodo]

*Start video on how to be a better dev* *Video just complains how podcast hosts don't deliver for their audience* 😮

[@mitchhanberg]

As an Elixir dev and a consumer of Aaron Francis content, I feel personally victimized

[@jeremybuckets]

2:02 pro tip - go climb into the playground. you'll thank me later.

[@aarondfrancis]

haha I don't physically fit

[@d3stinYwOw]

Such long videos are rather like documentation + tips and tricks in video form.

[@lakshanperera9735]

awesome
