Making videos developers actually want to watch (with Aaron Francis)

Aaron Francis is someone who needs little introduction. Especially if you've ever used Laravel or MySQL.
Aaron built up the highly acclaimed PlanetScale CZcams channel and now publishes content on his own channel and founded Try Hard Studios to help developer tools make amazing video content.
Here are some quotes from Aaron's viewers:
- "hey man your videos kick ass and i cannot thank you enough for your approach with these. your videos can be watched once and understood... every single one of them... i don't know how you do it, but the way you have picked to teach anything you teach is incredible. you freaking rock! thank you!"
- "Great stuff! Love that you mix in a bit of fun with the content, it's what got me to subscribe!"
- "I have been working with MySQL for last 17 years and I never use cursor but your video helped me to understand MySQL cursor."
- "Thank you literally laughing out loud several times. absolute gold.
(partner's like "what are you watching?!" "a guy seeding a database!"
