I can't believe you made a 1.38 hour long video for this post - how long did it take you to come up with the idea and then create all the content?

I've worked with ciphers before so I'm familiar with the concept. Coming up with the application was easy and short, but making a write-up / documentation was the time consuming part.

The write-up took about two hours which I then used as a script for my video. The video took 1.38 hours not because I was slow to explain things, but it was just a lengthy topic.

Let me know if you have further questions!

Your comment leaves some context to be desired. Are you disgusted or impressed?

Super impressed! Sorry for being unclear!

Thanks for the compliment!

No worries, I was just trying to get a gauge. While I'll allow him to concrete this, a video that long would like take a 8-12 hour investment building the content along with the video and editing. Interestingly enough there would have been additional time involved with transcribing that into the blog post.

Thanks for getting things cleared up :-)
