The Day I Realized Being a YouTuber Is Harder Than Debugging Laravel

So, I had this brilliant idea to start a YouTube channel about Laravel Full Stack development. 💡 I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch me struggle with eloquent queries, fight with Blade templates, and accidentally delete my entire database on live stream? 😂

But then reality hit me like a php artisan serve error on a Friday night. 🛑

The Plan:

  • Share my coding journey, tips, and tricks.
  • Create awesome tutorials.
  • Build cool projects from scratch.
  • Be the next Laravel sensation. 🌟

The Problem:

  • Recording a 10-minute video takes 3 hours because I keep saying “um” and “uh” like it’s my job. 🎥
  • Editing feels like trying to debug someone else’s spaghetti code.
  • Lighting? Audio? Background? Nah, I’m just here with my laptop camera and a dream. 💻✨
  • And don’t even get me started on finding the perfect thumbnail face. 😬

The Struggle:

  • Me: “This video will be 15 minutes max.”
  • Also me: 2 hours later, still recording the intro.
  • Me: “I’ll just edit out the mistakes.”
