Pro tip: Instead of putting the folder in Documents, I recommend creating it directly in your Home Folder. This keeps it "gated" from iCloud and stays strictly on your M-series chip's fast local storage.

Once again you stunned me with your ability to condense more useful information in a not even 20 Minute long video than others in a two hour video. Yes, you'r fast and as english is my second language I have to wind back from time to time, but still extremely impressive, that the information you present is clear and understandable.

I haven't hopped on the Claude train just yet, but honestly, your content is making a very strong case for it. Iโ€™ve been watching your videos at 0.85x speedโ€”partly to keep up with the gems youโ€™re dropping and partly because your delivery is so sharp it deserves the slow-mo treatment. Iโ€™ve got the 'Replay' button on a loop over here; itโ€™s rare to find tech insights served with that much personality. Seriously glad I stumbled across your channel, Jeff. Keep the high-speed wisdom coming!
