> it is actually ASCII, you can copy paste stuff out of it

No offense to your texteditor, I'm a vim enthusiast and after installing vis just now I really liked it, but that I can copy paste from that screencast caught me really off guard, and it's the height of my day today.

Sure, in hindsight it seems obvious, but ... that's pretty cool!

... not sure what that says about me, maybe I don't wanna know.

thanks for pointing my eyes that way!




I say it says you're an engineer. :D

Only engineers see stuff like this and go "aw, cool!"

Incidentally the "video" is a small pile of JSON - filter for XHR in the devtools to find it, the URL uses an expiration system so a direct link would break. (Aaaand I just learned they implemented VT100 in JavaScript... the JSON is full of actual, real, escape sequences...)
