YT: The Coding Train Snake Game in 15 mins

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaGK-fj-BAM
Clearly this guy is really talented, he doesnt seem to look up anything.  But, the premise is kind of stupid.  He tries to make a snake game in 15 minutes.  He pauses the video for a bit, and the timer stops, too.  Then he starts again and the timer runs out.  I mean, I guess I would rather seem him actually do something right.  The game is kind of a shambles when the video ends.  He can play mickey mouse as a coder, entertaining us with tips, his aforementioned skills, and his ability to patter on while typing code at the same time.  But I'm not sure what I really learned from this besides the importance of naming variables.  Maybe he wasn't trying to teach anything and was just documenting his attempt, but I suspect he was just involved in a form of content churn.  A decent watch, but a few minutes in I cranked up the speed to 1.5x and I didn't see a reason to slow it back down.
