My First YouTube Video Changed Everything | Making Version 2

Man, I hope Amazon paid you well for that first class service you pulled off. The six week lead time on a product that didn't even exist outside of a prototype was outstanding by itself. Incredible.

Having worked at Amazon, I'm surprised they didn't just have a bunch of their own engineers try to make it in-house. Or maybe they did and they failed so badly they gave up and decided to just have you do it instead.

dude is an inventor, engineer, programmer, entrepreneur, editor and good storyteller. save some talent for the rest of us plz!!

Huge thank you for all the kind comments, really happy to hear the story was clear and interesting! (Not really knowing how to edit made putting this together a brutal but super fun process, and I plan to push on to some other cool projects and videos) Don't give me too much credit, huge thank you to the individuals mentioned in the video, not only for helping on the project but also teaching me along the way. The six week time frame was tight, but we did know it was likely coming so we were prepared as much as possible to push up our timeline of development of V2 to hit the deadline. Fun Fact: I left this out of the video as I didn't have footage of it, but also in that final hour, an unforeseen user error caused the bottom of the device to fill with water, submerging a motor and sensor, yet somehow after draining the water, everything was fine! (We have now ensured this cannot be done again)

As a software engineer, that "run code to actually remove credentials" thing is incredibly frustrating. Things like that happen all the time, and Happens in live environments because you dont think to test it. Props for flying out and getting it working.

I’m a woodworker, I build furniture, tables beds etc. if you stuffed this thing in a solid wood sofa table with a walnut top and maybe some brass inlay people would pay good money for it. I’m sure they would buy it without the table lol I’m just saying the possibilities are endless as far as the piece of furniture you incorporate this into. I’m blown away man, you got my subscription.

Dude that feeling of troubleshooting down to the last second and it runs last second is incomparable

Great video. I didnt feel the need to skip ahead since nothing felt like unneccesary filler. For a youtuber with only 18.1K subscribers I'm impressed with not only what you made in such a short time, but to also make a captivating video, too.

This is super cool. And that dramatic tension at the end definitely was scaring me, so good job!

I don't know why you get such low views but what you make is incredible man I wish I could do it to if the new version becomes available somewhere let me know

always great to see the youtube community come together, shoutout to that gold hearted pcb designer!

Mad respect for pulling off that tight deadline and running it on the last second! Years ago I built a drinking game for up to eight people which poured liquor into the current player’s glass in small impulses, while they solved a task. This project reminded me of mine, but with all the professionalism of turning a prototype into a product. Loved watching it and happy to chat whenever you need someone with a somewhat similar skillset.

As a software engineer I just love this projects. Mad props for fixing it on side! Must have been an overwhelming feeling 😅

The story telling, the engineering, all a master piece!

Facebook comments never fail to surprise me by their pure idiocy, imagine seeing a cool device and letting it outrage because its "lazy" or doesn't support you alcoholism enough 🤣

Dude…I have been in these situations in corporate gigs and this video bought it all back along with the anxiety! Great work!

Fuck it, we ball. 😂 You shot the game winning point as the timer ran out. Amazing video, as a tinkerer I love seeing creations like these. I mostly just build my own lithium ion battery packs and put them in things to make them rechargeable

I can't begin to express how impressed I am you did this in under six weeks

absolutely stuning. I was watching and feeling the drama, stress and thinking the probably thoughts that you has in this process. Your video for me its a art that i will remember and use as inspiration to continue the development of my app. Thanks for this

That was better than a mini movie. Till the last minute, what a thriller :)
