I like how he calls writing cocotb test benches the easy way and the FPGA version the "real" way of testing

Every professional ASIC designer I know would probably use the exact opposite definition

haha can tell I came from programming land I guess

of course! ❤️

what a beautiful video! how did you make these electrical propagation graphics?

thanks! Blender + Librelane basically. I ran the code snippets through a librelane build to get the final GDS, some python to extract the layers and turn them into 3D shapes, then cocotb/ngspice simulations to get the "activity" pulses. Some more python to key the animation in blender and off to render

Also awesome that you featured @psychogenic! His channel really should have a few 100k more followers than it does! (edited)

I saw! Actually got a light bump in subscribers today and I'm quite certain it's from the mention. Thanks @BreakingTaps

@BreakingTaps - It looks like your video is at 270k views so far!

yeah! not terrible! although YT changed how they count views recently, so it's probably closer to 100-150k "real" views under the old system

@BreakingTaps - How does that compare to other videos?

I did see various YouTubers complaining about that or something.

upper middle of the pack I think? not a knockout viral banger, but not bad. especially for a pretty technical topic I'm not displeased. Yeah a view used to be anyone that stayed 30 seconds or longer. now it's just anyone who clicks on the video. So if you bounce after 2s it still counts. Doesn't really matter since it's kind of a vanity metric anyway (watch time is more important generally) but now all the analytics are messed up since the historical numbers don't match. just kinda irritating

@BreakingTaps - Need to figure out a more click bait title and thumbnail?

haha probably
