I’m glad that you’re now cured Derek! I can’t tell you how much you’ve helped me across multiple years of my life. I’ve always seen you as my coach throughout tech and watch your videos countless of times to pass time or simply relax as they’re both educational and entertaining. Thank you so much and get better soon!

That sounds terrifying, I'm really glad you made it through that man. I'd like to take this opportunity to really thank you for all your videos over the years. They truly helped me through my 5 years of engineering school. No one explains programming better than you. Looking forward to you coming back stronger with new videos again. Stay healthy man!

I have to admit, I haven't watched your videos in a long time, but you are one of the first channels I ever subscribed to. Your beginner programming videos helped me immensely when I was first starting out. Thank you. And I am glad that you recovered!

Glad you're feeling better! Your videos helped me so much during college and I still continue to go back to them. The learn x in 30 minute videos were a huge life saver

Good to hear you are better. Your videos helped me even to publish a research paper. I landed good paying job. Did start making money from side hustle. All thanks to your videos.

Since I'm now cured, I feel comfortable telling everyone why I stopped making videos. I had a disease that was causing inflammation in my brain that basically destroyed my short-term memory, but I'm cured now. I hope to start making videos again soon.
If anyone is interested, I had the form of Long Covid that caused my immune system to attack neurotransmitters and the olfactory system in my brain. It also caused scarring in my lungs. This effected my memory and ability to learn. I slowly became the character from the movie Memento over the last 3 years.
Either way I'm cured now, and I hope to see you soon.
