If you don’t already know, then I launched NodeCLI.com<\/a> this Monday, October 5th, 2020. Unfortunately, I made a silly mistake<\/strong>. I’ve been feeling bad since then and wanted to share it here.<\/p>\n

It’s the course intro video. You see I spent one week in scripting, recording, re-recording (3 times), making silly voice impressions, and producing an excellent funny little introductory video for my new course.<\/p>\n

It’s something I’ve never done before in my life<\/strong>. And I was f**ing proud of myself. Sent y’all the email telling how good that intro video was, launched the course on twitter, the tweet went viral<\/a>, and then 17,356 video views later it hit me. And it hit hard.<\/p>\n

I had accidentally posted the wrong video on the NodeCLI.com<\/a> homepage instead of the actual intro video \u2014 I’d worked so hard for<\/em>.<\/p>\n

My wife saw me almost having a mini-heart-attack<\/strong> as I realized what had just happened. The perfectionist in me had just died. I felt like my 10 months of effort, all of that went to waste<\/strong>. That by now, everyone would have watched the wrong video and thought:<\/p>\n

\u2026 \u2026 \u2026 meh, what’s so good about this video, Awais<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Some good news is that it’s fixed<\/strong>. Now, I’ve put back the actual introductory video on NodeCLI.com<\/a> \u2014 but if what I thought was true, then you probably didn’t watch the right video.<\/p>\n

The one where I make silly voice impressions of a boss talking to their employees (a junior and a senior developer) that are all plush toys.<\/p>\n

Re-launching NodeCLI.com<\/a><\/h2>\n

So, I’m relaunching my course<\/a>. I hope this time you’ll watch the right video. You’ll know the amount of effort I put into making this 10 hours long 100-video course, probably the most extensive and practical course on the subject of Node.js Automation with CLI DevTools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2192 I’m also keeping the 50% off discount going for this relaunch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The inner child in me tells me that y’all will watch the right video at least once. He’s definitely a polar opposite of all my cynical thoughts. But will you? Pretty please?! Here’s the link \u2193<\/p>\n

\n

\"NodeCLI.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Watch on NodeCLI.com \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t wait to see both your reactions to the video and the CLI Automation projects you’ll build after this course.<\/p>\n

You know what would be awesome? If you could quote this tweet<\/a> to share your reactions and automation projects with me and everyone else.<\/p>\n
