Why aren't you making math videos? (3b1b video)

It would be fun to make one of these for computer science. There was a great one recently on youtube, explaining the code behind the famous fast inverse square root.

But, I'm afraid I can't produce somthing of a satisfactory quality in the time that I could allocate to it. I don't even know how to use After Effects or write a script.

So incompetence would be my excuse. It might be a bad one.

I don't think you need to be hard on yourself. Creating content up to the standard of 3b1b requires skills that can be far removed from what you want to teach.

Having knowledge of a topic is one thing but being able to create entertaining and educational content around it is another.
