Good stuff. I would just argue that this is "A Game Show for *Javascript* developers" (unless you're planning on doing other episodes focused on other technologies), and that the questions in the computer science category are not really computer science questions. Software development is a lot bigger than JS and React.
@@learnwithjason You do know software development is not just "web dev", right? The wording of the title and categories makes it sound like this is going to be a general trivia for all forms of programming, but then the "computer science" questions are about promise resolution order, something that has nothing to do with CS, but instead is just defined by the ECMA spec? Why not just title the category "Javascript Quirks" or something? Not saying that the show is bad or anything, the branding just gives too little indications that this is exclusively made for webdevs.
@irrelevant8457 I've updated the title to reflect that this is targeted toward web dev. if all goes well and I'm able to continue with the series, I'd love to expand and do different editions (e.g. "student edition", focus on other programming areas of expertise). thanks for the feedback and for watching!
@@learnwithjason The potential for this show is amazing. You have a chance to be on the ground floor of an entirely new genre of entertainment. Developers are itching at a chance to show the world thier abilties. Im a new developer as well, this kind of content is amazing. Id love to help any way I can with this.
yer i had to pause every question just to understand what was happening / play along. awesome idea but the beauty of game shows is letting the viewer play along at home. Also i want to see the hot sauce having an effect on the players. more hot sauce.
19:42 "so how do you know Mark?" This was so much fun, thanks for having me! Massive shoutout to cast and crew and JASON for making this such a blast 🙌
The show has a nice concept and it is entertaining. I’d like to see it work and have more episodes! Some suggestions: - Let us know a bit more about the candidates, what made you choose them? - Instead of having fixed topics on the wheel, could the topics be different to better match the candidate’s abilities? Having a fixed topic like CS fundamentals would also be nice. - If two participants have different domains - say webdev vs ML, a “challenge” dynamic would be interesting: ML person chooses ML topic on the wheel and challenges the webdev person. If webdev person gets it right, then x2 the points, if wrong, ML person has to get it right, otherwise they take a bite. Another thing is that the question often times were too easy, I personally feel like syntax errors are not fun for this type of format. Also, I feel like CS history would be a fun, educational one.
Round 2, blue is also incorrect, it should be green since: "The unset CSS keyword resets a property to its inherited value if the property naturally inherits from its parent" (which it is)
This is a good start, I think there's some small improvements to make here. The introduction only said getting questions wrong will "face the heat". It doesn't speak about how the wheel could also cause heat, either by landing on the black region or by landing on a region that no longer has questions. It might be ok to explain that a person who correctly answers can choose to stay on the category or dare to spin. Again, daring to spin doesn't seem like a dare until you realize that they could land on the region causing heat. After the first "heat", the pepper emoji counter didn't increase until Sheng got the first wrong question. It might be better to start the counter at 0 so that it counts the number of "heat" they have endured (questions answered incorrectly). Zero-index is probably better for a dev show anyway. ;) Then it was confusing that after getting the question wrong, they didn't have to take the "heat". They just had the counter go up. I was expecting them to take another bite of something. I was also surprised that the person that got the question wrong had the ability to stay or spin. My expectation would be that their opponent would now have control as a penalty. I realized later that the wheel determines WHEN they eat, the wrong questions increase the heat of the bite. It would be clear if the wheel said "Take the heat" (take a bite) on spaces where they were meant to do this; including updating spaces where questions were exhausted. There were some typos in the multiple choice, I was also thrown off by OPTIONS not being visible in the choices but being chosen by a contestant.
all great feedback, thank you! I ended up changing the bites to be on wrong answers in ep 2 because I felt the same way you did on watching this back triple checking questions and spelling is on my list now, too. great idea about zero indexing! 😆
Incredible work! I love the concept, y'all CRUSHED it on execution, and a good blend of questions and topics. However, calling Cholula "Spice level 3" (4:39) is criminal, it's basically 0 heat seasoning...I think Sheng must have paid off production >.>
Love the idea! The pacing felt a bit rushed, like others have mentioned, stuff like introducing the host & players, giving us more time to read the questions, and explaining the answers a bit would be nice for the tempo I think. You do this really well in your Web Dev Challenges! Them getting to spin their own wheel manually feels a bit like cheating, like at 17:50 Sheng easily avoids the heat with a very calculated spin 😄Maybe there could be a rule that it needs to spin at least two full revolutions or something. Another thing I thought about, it rarely feels worth to let the other person stay in a category (and to me just took some unnecessary time after each question), since if you make them spin there's a chance they get heat. The commercials and questions were great, especially the ramping up of difficulty was nice. I know you'll have this down to a T in a few episodes, keep it up 👏
The end of November and first half of December has been such a whirlwind for me... how did I miss the submission period for this. Dang! I feel like I need to go take a level 10 heat Dino Nugget for getting that wrong. I'm so envious of how much fun this looks like it was to do; but I'm not jealous of how much work went in to taking it from concept to reality. Congrats Jason and crew, y'all did it! Great job and it's only gonna get better. Looking forward to more. 🔥🥵🔥 If you want another game mechanic suggestion, hear me out on this... for each correct question a contestant gets a Bit; when they get 8-bits its a Byte; Bytes can be used by a contestant to avoid a Leet Heat bite and make their opponent take it instead; But if they choose to not use their collected Bytes, they convert to some point value at the end that gets added to the contestant's score.
thanks so much! the bits/bytes idea is fun! in early testing I experimented with something similar, but it ended up being a little confusing to track, so we simplified. I'll keep it in the back pocket as we keep refining, though!
Everything about this was killer. Mark as the host, the set, the music, the commercials. This was great dude, I’m excited to see how it evolves Only bit I can comment on is I’d like is to at least learn who the contestants are, where they’re from, what they do, etc. before they begin playing. And the host! I mean, we all know Mark but still 😂
this is something I'd love to have available! the software I built originally to run this game show doesn't support that, but I've got a rebuild going that should make this more possible. stay tuned!
I like Hot Ones but as a software nerd, I like this show more 😆 On a side note, for that Astro question, I answered the correct one. I only learned about the islands architecture like 2 hours before I watched this video!
Love it! Great concept. But please don't restrict the questions to web dev and databases. Maybe add some accessible languages like Python or C. (Any language you can learn in a day.) And please show the code longer, with the contestants in a corner. For example the code at 14:14 is shown for a mere 2 seconds. Had to pause the video to read the code.
great feedback. right now we're keeping the questions in the full stack web dev area, but my hope is that I'll be able to continue making more of these and we'll be able to do different "editions" of the show with different focuses great note about leaving the code on screen longer. we'll improve that in future episodes thank you!
This is such a great concept! Loved every bit of it and the commercial break tips! Great work on the shoot and editing, team! Would be nice to get to know the contestants a bit and maybe make it much spicier. They had no expression that it was really hot even as the level got higher 😅, making the “heat” section less interesting. It would probably also be nice to have a prize they’re competing for to make it even more fun (+ in between stories of what that price means for them and why they want it that bad or so).
Absolutely loved this! Fun idea, great execution! Would appreciate if the questions stayed on screen for a couple of moments though so we could play along. A few pieces of code were gone before I could read them and it pulls you out a bit having to pause so much
Amazing work from the team, please keep rolling them out… and the host is very good. But, I would like to make a suggestion; how about when the questions of a given category is exhausted, we indicate it on the spinner. This will allow more engagement and tracking of the contestants AND the viewers. Thank you.
thank you! I couldn't imagine anyone but Mark hosting this. right now the winner gets bragging rights (and probably a tummyache) but I'm scheming something up - stay tuned 👀
@@learnwithjason I could definitely see this turning into a whole new genre of entertainment. The hunger that new developers have to network makes this an insane market

@@learnwithjason needs to be significantly spicier. Cholula at a level 3?!

19:50 it renders blue?? I just ran the file in firefox and it rendered green for me? What is correct?
if you could leave the code snippets up for just a little bit longer with editing magic or whatever it would be more fun to play along!
Right. Jeopardy displays the question, giving enough time to consider the question. Maybe a few second delay before one can buzz in.
good notes - I'll see if we can tweak the timing a bit
yer i had to pause every question just to understand what was happening / play along. awesome idea but the beauty of game shows is letting the viewer play along at home. Also i want to see the hot sauce having an effect on the players. more hot sauce.
Get ready for a gameshow made for developers. "Get ready for a gameshow made for Web Developers"

Great episode! Just would've liked some banter to find out a little more about the contestants...
agreed - I realized we forgot that AFTER we cut 🙃
@ will only get better 👊
Not too bad! Not sure computer science is really a category here though. It was all typical JavaScript.
yeah, I named this category poorly. working on improving it in future episodes!
19:26 Sheng:"how hot do these go?" Mark: "9.....thousand?" 😂😂😂
Incredible work! I love the concept, y'all CRUSHED it on execution, and a good blend of questions and topics.

looooool this will be corrected in episode 3 and beyond. for the first 2 I was working off a limited set 😅
😆 i'll have you know i had an out-of-body experience near the end, @learnwithjason roll the bloopers!
Louisiana sauce will be level 4 lmao, great show, need to see a bit more of the heat build up process after they eat it though
I am only offended the H347 scale doesn't start at zero. 😂
This was great! Looking forward to more episodes :)
thank you so much! more episodes on the way 🫡
Super Fun and informative at the same time. Completely worth watching
thanks so much!

Sheng over here spinning databases like its going out of style!!!
just RIPPING through that category
if my team sees I got that NoSQL question wrong my ass is toast

These commercials are epic!

@17:31 shows A Option as Preflight 😂
This is how companies should interview candidates
Hey! At 4:49 you edited out the outcome of Sheng's encounter with level-3 heat! Must have been spicy! 🔥🔥🔥
ha! yeah, realizing now that we should spend more time on the aftermath of the bites
I am glad that i subscribed this channel ❤
thank you for subbing!
Everything about this was killer. Mark as the host, the set, the music, the commercials.
This was great dude, I’m excited to see how it evolves
Only bit I can comment on is I’d like is to at least learn who the contestants are, where they’re from, what they do, etc. before they begin playing. And the host! I mean, we all know Mark but still 😂
yes, that's a great note. we realized after we cut that we forgot to do a "meet the contestants" segment 😅
@ ha! I figured you were on it
It would be so cool if there was a client where people login and answer along with the contestants! It may include a leader board too 😅
this is something I'd love to have available! the software I built originally to run this game show doesn't support that, but I've got a rebuild going that should make this more possible. stay tuned!
This is different! What a great way to learn even for us senior+ devs.
Loved this to death, can't wait to see more!
thank you! 💜
That was nerdy as hell, I loved it. Def need to up the spice level, give em the Hot Ones sauces and maybe you'll get a sponsership lol
yeah, a big takeaway was that I was WAY too nice with the spice levels 😆
Really liked this. Not sure if it's possible with that board, but could you place a leet heat card or sticker over the categories once they are done?
YES! you'll see my (absolutely terrible) workaround for this in episode 2, and then we'll solve it for real in episode 3 😆
Another masterpiece series, Jason be doing the most❤🙏🎉
thank you!
Great idea Jason. Love it!
thanks so much!
that combination of z-index value and position absolute makes me burst of laugh. 😂
the production is crazy keep going with amazing content

Ideas: 1) An unemployed devs edition. 2) We need more Lengstorf. The host is great though, just need more Boop.
Congratulations 🎉 This is truly fantastic! Great work

This one got me too - a document is equivalent to a Row, while a *Collection* is like a table
oh no! 😅 making a big list of notes to improve future episodes
Absolutely loved this! Fun idea, great execution!
Would appreciate if the questions stayed on screen for a couple of moments though so we could play along. A few pieces of code were gone before I could read them and it pulls you out a bit having to pause so much
this us a good call. I took a note for future episodes 💜
I don't know what was better the commercials or the game. Loved them all.
we had so much fun with the commercials 😅
so good, nice one on all fronts
thank you Colby!
so developers are just web devs now?
this show is targeted toward web dev knowledge, yes

This will allow more engagement and tracking of the contestants AND the viewers. Thank you.
excellent idea. I'm working on something to solve this better going forward (don't judge me by ep 2 - we... made some choices lol)
Man, I just have to say this is beyond great. Thanks for sharing this
thank you for watching!
minor issue but did i caught a small delay on 18:56? It didn't bother that much tho. Great show!
oh, good catch! yep, we got out of sync there 😅
Love this! Y’all need to partner up with Hot Ones sauces on this one. Cholula for level 3? Bring the heat!
new sauces will show up in ep 3 and beyond that are a little bit less nice 👀

Thank you Jason

You gotta quiz 'em and feed 'em
From Starting I was with Austin and somehow he bounce back in the middle of the game. Nice Game 🔥🥵
First gameshow in history where I actually know the answers.
Love this, great idea..! I’m over here testing my own knowledge. 😂
love it!
Keep the episodes coming

This was really great! Surprised web dev takes so well to this format. For the question about what color does this text render, it's actually green! I would have put my money on black ...
I would have just taken the spicy bite, tbh 😆
How fun is this!
👁👄👁
so fun! but is it the MOST fun? I guess we'll just have to tune in for episode 2 and find out 😆

That was amazing! So, who moves onto the 2nd round interview?
...you just gave me a great idea 👀
@@learnwithjason I'm a little afraid... ;)

Super creative. Fun idea. Great breaking news. As a pilot episode: nailed it.
we had so much fun doing the news 😆 thank you!
it shows! Robot sack head on the catfisher made me LOL
Another episode please!! Include CSS as its own category mwahahaha
Woah, this is great!
thank you!
Great show.
thank you!
A little bit more time talking about the answers would have been good, I think!
can you say more? like, explaining the answers? or something else?
The answer for the NoSQL table question was never given for example
Not the breaking news segment🤣🤣had me on the floor
we had so much dang fun with that
Forget Spicy, let’s see some Jaeger Shots!
Woww a gameshow for dev... What a time to be alive!
🔥🔥🔥
I just missed some of the show format characteristics... Not presenting the host or the participants, stuff like that but overall, love it!
thank you! we'll improve this for future episodes
looks fun
I hope it's as fun to watch as it was to make!
lovely, please do algorithm problems 🎉
I was thinking about this - how would we do algorithms in this style? giving people code challenges doesn't fit this format well
OMG THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭😭

Ay Mark nice one!
Love this !
Omg I love this!!!!!
thank you!
S'nice, more please! ⌨️🧠🏆
🫡 on it
This was fun! Got most correct and learn something new. Though I would have purposely kept choosing the spicy food section just to eat more food.
ha! we're making some tweaks to increase the number of spicy bites
Love this idea ❤What is the hot sauce you're using?
we used an assortment of things I had in my fridge 😆
for future episodes we’ll have a full list available
@@learnwithjason nice! Always on the lookout for some quality hot sauce. 🔥
7:50 he said sheng 100 points then gave Austin a 100 point..am i missing something?
that was my software not having an undo button 😅

thank you!
great gameshow very entertaining
thank you!
2:47 please don't just say this is wrong. Give us the correct answer 😅
Great job LwJ
Well done!
thanks so much!
Maybe add a sticker to the wheel when a category is used up?
agreed. we're getting that sorted for future episodes (well, not episode 2 - you'll see the terrible choice I made for that one soon 😅)
