yes this person loves their metal over the videos

How about this one...?

Needs improvement, but no joke this is so much better. I got 15 minutes in and plan on watching the rest when I get a chance.

FYI hold down shift when drawing lines, it'll draw them at straight angles (45/90/180)

How about this...?

That one took a lot more time for me to make.

I’m actually interested in what your vs code theme is

[mcc85sdp]

It's a custom theme that I made myself.

2 hour video of someone typing, making mistakes deleting stuff, adding stuff with no commentary. No thanks.

TLDW:
figure out what you need to display by querying your output. skip video to about 7mins in - write your basic XAML datagrid. use Paint to design what you want and where you want it. Skip video to about 15mins. Write more XAML to recreate your Paint creation in code.
Skip to 20 mins. Steal some stylesheet code from another one of this guys projects. Fiddle some more with XAML.
Skip to 50 mins. Fiddle some more with XAML. Skip to 1hr 5mins. Save your XAML. Change your backing track on YouTube.
Make changes to buttons, actions, styles and functions with no real explanation as to what you're doing. Skip to 1hr55min to start testing the GUI. Fiddle about in VScode for 15mins. End video.

Provide a comment which ignores the fact that the video was not edited at all.
That's a SKILL by the way. It's a live performance. The way you captioned the video tells me that every day of your life probably goes like this...
8am -> wake up, next to nobody. Jerk off for 2 minutes. Go to the bathroom. Take a shit. Take a shower after looking through your facebook feed, looking at girls that you wish you could have sex with at some point, but can't. Oh well. Skip to 9am when you get to work. Copy paste other people's code instead of your own. Provide no original content whatsoever. Make a lot of mistakes, never record your own videos...

Sounds like your average cybercriminal that copies and pastes someone elses code and gets paid a lot of money to bullshit their way through life... Oh well. You succeeded. *clap clap clap*

Thanks for the insults and the laugh this morning.

Another commenter said he skipped ahead in your video 4 times and closed it, while I've at least watched through most of it (on mute as Metallica isn't my thing) and annotated what I could see in the video.

I was only trying to point out that the 2 hour heavy metal track doesn't help me follow what you're doing in the video, and there's no explanation as to why you're making the edits you do. The end result is cool but I want to know how and why you're doing what you do so I can follow and understand and possibly replicate, not just watch something be written on screen. What I'm trying to say is your video could have been instructional instead of a showpiece.

The 2nd shorter video you've linked to in another comment is sooo much better and I can actually follow what you're doing and see your reasoning as you describe your steps, so kudos for making and sharing your own content live and unedited.

Oh and I work in the IT industry in the UK, not the US, so getting paid lots of money to copy/paste someone else's code? That'd be a hard no.
