The Entreprogrammers Episode 17 No Crisis Here

Where’s GetUpAndCode? Josh is a little saddened by

John’s cut-back in the productions of GetUpAndCode. John quickly takes themoment to analyze the human nature living in a production schedule. John says,“Does it have to be so strict?”

However, the fans of GetUpAndCode begin to expect shows

on a certain schedule. Derick, points at the fans, saying to John, “That’stheir problem, not yours.”

Josh talks about having to take too much time to

figure-out code; Derick, with 4 blogs on Wordpress, refers to Signalleaf as theoddity and finds himself struggling to get into its workflow calling it “toomuch work.”

Derick continues, “I can’t get motivated to write for

Signalleaf because there’s too much work involved in writing.” Is he in overhis head? What’s to become of Signalleaf?

The discussion then goes to whether or not good video

production and editing is really worth it.

John talks about a newsletter he’s sending that

describes the most popular person on YouTube – this person’s show from Swedenis cut rather roughly – “playing video games and making stupid comments,” Johnsaid. But, he has 25 million subscribers.

And the question arises, “Does production quality

matter?”

John catches himself (laughing) as he remarks that The

Entreprogrammers isn’t produced – when it actually does have a producer.

Derick is quick to undermine the producer’s efforts,

calling him an editor, “No, we have an editor, he’s not a producer. We have aguy that just literally listens to it once to make sure we don’t say a fewcertain things (like this) and he tacks on the intro and outro and uploads it.”

So, the discussion comes around revealing that The

Entreprogrammers aren’t at all really interested in good production – badsound, bad video – it doesn’t matter.

The Entreprogrammers – not professional broadcasters -

have asked their video producer to edit the show in this fashion which ofcourse reflects the lack of professional broadcasting which is quite oftenfound on the Internet, and perhaps, set video and audio back a hundred years.

The Internet gave license to the amateur hour ofaudio and video, although these amateurs may have something good to say, theyjust don’t know how to say it good – not from the Arena of Artistic Process.Only a small percentage of the populous has true appreciation of the extremebeauty which is only found in the humanities.
