Thanks for mentioning your Youtube serie, have you considered doing it in English?

The Youtube auto-dub stuff is pretty bad and the subtitles are quite good but hard to follow with all the vim motions on top of it!

Your writing is in English and your code comments too... English was not my native language but I'm fluent now. So unless you are targeting specifically the Italian viewers, you would reach many more people in English. Your content is worth being international I feel.





Hi! I'm perfectly capable of doing the same series in English, not that I'm so skilled with other languages, but enough to do it: you can find many programming videos in English on my channel. However: it will never be at the same level of something in my mother tongue, so a few years ago I decided that some of my output would be in Italian. Not the most accessible, but the most quality. I believe that soon or later YouTube videos will have near-perfect dubbing, so this also will make the content available to a larger audience. Cheers.

have you considered learning italian ? it's not that difficult once you know english

My grand mother was Italian, I could understand a fair bit in the family, but this is technical talk in Italian, it doesn't roll off the tongue.

I know that the OP proposal sounded absurd :D But, can you believe that there are many folks that learned Italian following my channel? I'm shocked but this happened multiple times in the latest months. The fact is that Italian is incredibly easy to understand, very easy to talk, and very hard to master. Bot to get from 0 to 101, is a very low effort task compared to other languages.
