I run untested, viewer-submitted code on my 500-LED christmas tree.

I think that went well! Head over to github to see some of the code involved.

"My tree is too low-resolution" is a problem from the 2050s.
-
"Painful to view?" one single led turns on "Well, you're not wrong."
-
The comedic timing when he turns around to look at the tree but we can already see the code is broken is so good
-
"Painful to view" and it's one LED at the back and bottom of the tree. Absolutely genius.
-
the way he looks at the tree expecting something and then turns back to the computer so aggressively is hilarious
-
The level of judgment is exactly like a professor going through his students projects
-
Whenever he gives that “ahhh too bad” I feel the weight of the shame like a student who spent 2 weeks working on a project, only for you to turn it in and it not work for the first 5 seconds so the teacher just fails it. Like my big moment of something I was proud of has been ruined in an instant by some stupid thing I didn’t consider.

This feels like I’m in some sort of programming course taking place during a fall semester of college and the extra credit assignment was to program some funky lights for the professors Christmas tree. This is the last class before winter break and the spring semester starts. If the program runs, we get 10 points added to our lowest project grade. If it does not run, oh well we move on.
-
feels like im watching a professor run his students’ code they did for a project and he’s grading them on a scale based on how cool they are
-
"You need a better resolution tree" might just be the most futuristic thing I have ever heard.
-
I feel bad for the people that were missing the python modules. They were likely so close to running. The problem was that Matt installed the modules using `pip3`, but then ran the code using sudo. Had he run `sudo pip3` to install the modules, they likely would have worked.

"I'm a man of finite time" Spends 40 minutes running programs for blinky lights on a Christmas tree.
-
jokingly What I learnt is that given a christmas tree, most programmers would set it on fire
-
The game of snake is incredible... I would love to have that in the background of a party! Kudos to whoever coded that. I also really liked the first working code!
-
28:58 is my favourite, the embers flying off the 'fire' is so cool
-
Everyone's a coder till they try lighting up a Christmas tree.
-
This felt exactly like when my comp sci professor ran through every student's final project in front of the class. Traumatic memory.
-
18:54 I love how you don’t cut this part out, it feels like I’m a guest at your house or even family
-
29:14 The number of contexts that “I’ve gotta get a better resolution tree” fits into is somehow more than one
