Fireship

More details here fireship.dev/uidotdev-and-f…

I've been a bit quiet here lately, but it's about time for an update: Fireship is officially merging with @uidotdev. @tylermcginnis and the team make great courses and I've been a fan of Bytes since it launched. We actually talked about merging together back in 2021, but the timing wasn't right. Turns out it just took a few years. For a little more context, ~18 months ago I sold a part of Fireship to a company called Electrify that invests in educational YouTube channels and helps build a team around them. I did this for 2 reasons: - Money - Time Most people don't realize that until recently, Fireship has always been a one-man show. I started with zero video production skill and zero expectations. I spent thousands of hours on a mission to make programming videos I’d actually want to watch. And somehow, I just kept making videos and it just kept working for the past 8 years… I now have 3 kids with a 4th on the way. Running and scaling everything by myself isn’t sustainable anymore, and tbh, I never had the desire to manage people. I'm a hardcore introvert who just likes making YouTube videos. So over the last year Electrify has helped me start building a team so I can focus on just the creative side. But the results have been mixed so far as we’ve tried adding to the team while still making content. Despite the rumors, I have not been replaced by AI. If I had been, uploads would be way more consistent. The reality is that making this weird style of niche technical content is hard. AI can't do it, and it turns out most humans can’t do it very well either. So we're changing things in 2026, and merging with the uidotdev team is the first step. Going forward, we’ll be making more old school Fireship programming videos, more 100 Seconds videos, and more Code Reports on a wider range of topics, along with some crazy new ideas I think you'll like. We’re also hiring more full time developers who are good at writing about technical topics. Editing and shitposting skills are also welcome. DM Tyler if you’re interested. Yes, this all takes money, which is why we have more sponsors now. That’s the tradeoff for being able to build a team. And no, I’m not stepping back. I'll still be voicing and working on every video, and I still have creative control to decide what we make. But the hope is that expanding the team will let us make more stuff and go deeper on everything without me burning out. Also, existing Fireship Pro customers now get access to all uidotdev courses and vice versa. Check out the new fireship .dev site if you’re curious. And finally, a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the channel over the years. I genuinely appreciate it more than I can put into words.

@fireship_dev Hi, I’m unable to download the invoice after purchasing the fireship.io Pro plan. Could you please help? I also sent an email a week ago but haven’t received a response there either

sometimes i hear about new tech updates from @fireship_dev before i see them anywhere else

I really appreciate @fireship_dev's work! Jeff covers such a broad range of topics in an incredibly entertaining way. Almost every video makes me smile!

@HubertBosiacki Yes

@fireship_dev is it you?

@velvetbaldmime Good call, my therapist said this was a confabulation caused by past Java trauma. Correction pinned.

.@fireship_dev I think your latest Apache Spark video is quite inaccurate with regards to the primary language Spark is written in.
