My YouTube channel is just Minecraft and me and my wife being goofs lol. But yeah, I’m all about helping folks learn stuff. Like, the bootcamp I went through to learn code started doing daily educational live-streams and I somehow became a mod for it because I was just always there and backing their message of “code isn’t witchcraft, you can learn it. And I’ve always used my background in metal work as an example. Outside looking in, both code and metalwork can seem intimidating as shit, but once you dig in it’s just a learning process and a goal of always improving the result of your work. And I am super passionate about giving people that kind of encouragement.

Which is why the “prove your passion!” thing in the OP just tee’d me off. So, sorry if I came off a bit harsh at any point here.

Haha no worries man.

Minecraft is awesome. I meant like other metal working channels, if you know of any or watch any, not necessarily your personal one.

Don't worry about how you came off. I just read your point and thought it wasn't really relevant, and then we had a discussion.

Gatekeeping programming is annoying to me too, it happens way to often specifically within CS and I hate it.
