Researching, scripting and publishing developer videos and Shorts with an AI-assisted workflow.
Explaining your work is part of the job. A two-minute video that shows how a bug happened, or why a site was slow, teaches more people than a long thread, and it shows clients how you think. Developers already have the hard part, real stories from real projects; what's usually missing is a repeatable way to turn them into videos.
This path is that process, as I run it for my own channel: pick topics with a simple scoring table and verified sources, write Shorts that hold attention without misleading anyone, then use an AI-assisted workflow with Claude and a little code to research, script, publish and show every video on your own Next.js site.
Who it’s for: Developers and freelancers who want to share what they know on YouTube or Instagram, and anyone building a personal brand around technical work.
Start with lesson 1: How to find tech video topics people actually watch: a scoring method for developers
How I run a daily developer video workflow: a Claude Code skill that researches, scores and scripts each topic with sources, then a small Node script and React components that sync the YouTube channel into a Next.js site with lite embeds, a Shorts feed and VideoObject structured data.
A practical structure for 30–50 second developer Shorts and Reels: the two-second hook, a script table with voice, on-screen text and visuals, honest titles and thumbnails, and a call to action that leads to your long video.
A repeatable way to pick YouTube and Instagram topics as a developer: where to look for fresh stories, how to verify them against primary sources, and a seven-point scoring table that decides what to make today.
