If you're anything like us, your YouTube recommendations are full of Jeff Delaney's videos - most of you probably know him under a different name however: Delaney is the creator and mastermind behind ‪@Fireship‬, famous for his enigmatic voice, his "100 seconds of Code" series and dry humour. We traveled to Arizona to meet the man, the myth, the legend, and ask him some questions about programming and his YouTuber journey. How did he go from wanting to be a pilot, to an accountant, to a self-taught web developer, to teaching code to millions of people?

    See... I told you I wasn't an AI
  • @KevinVandyTech
    The only man who can make movie trailers for a programming language or library and get me hyped on anything
  • @TechBuddy_
    Jeff's next video: How to get your own honeypot documentary in 100 seconds 😂
  • @saltymashedpotatoes
    Jeff is dope. He's humble, a family man, and a super geek with a wonderful sense of humor!
  • @venir_dev
    He's truly an authentic introvert. The interview with his wife is hilarious; it's like he's an hostage to his wife. A true developer, but with great youtube-creative talent. Kudos, Jeff
  • @kevinc4736
    He doesnt realize how valuable he is, absolute legend
  • @jsricochet
    His voice is so ingrained in my brain. It's weird to see Jeff is not only this video producing machine 😀 Keep up the great work Jeff :)
  • @korayem
    That spiritual calling of his inner child saying to random strangers "I will have my own fireship when I grow up" is divine and inspiring
  • @bartw4031
    These AI generated videos are getting better and better! 😊
  • @MohsenFarajYT
    Wow jeff is full of surprises. I didnt know about his guitar skills, family , hobbies or even his personality. After this video i would say that my respect and love level him has increased by 200%! Thanks for this documentary ❤
  • @doxologist
    That voice is now notorious in the tech space. We love it

    This feels like an award for Jeff. Congrats man, love your work ❤️
  • @bobDotJS
    I have to give Jeff some of the credit for helping me to learn to love code
  • @djvsst309
    I just love the sarcasm that he adds in his videos. Just love this guy.
  • @moussacoulibaly1656
    Jeff is a legend. Whenever I feel burnt out by programming or reading documentation, Jeff's contents are what make me relax.
  • @coltonaallen
    In case you didn't know... we love you, Jeff! Never change! (and don't let AI push you around!)
  • @essaadi_elmehdi6784
    Thank you Honeypot for letting us know Jeff personality, he is such a simple and inspiring person
  • @dansplain2393
    Jeff is a machine. His jokes about being an AI land because he is so productive. He’s the Casey Neistat of Brogramming
