Homebrew is the most popular package manager on MacOS, and for good reason. However personally, I believe that Nix is more powerful.

Can’t put my finger on exactly why but I really struggled with the cadence of the video author’s narration.

Agreed. He's reading his notes while filming and it sounds like he isn't himself convinced of what he's explaining. Really odd.

It would be interesting to hear what you think of the youtuber Sega Lord X. His content is great but his seemingly deliberate intonation ground my gears so much to the point I unsubscribed.

Just tried a video and faced the exact same issue. It reminds me of news readers who are reading but don’t actually know the text or what sentence comes next and the cadence and tone is really off from how someone would speak it naturally.

I’m sure their content is top notch but the narration feels hollow and I can’t connect with it.
