AIDER SUGGESTIONS:

1 Introduction:
• Add a brief overview of what the audience can expect to learn by the end of the video. This sets clear expectations and goals.
2 Depth-First Recursive Build Systems:
• Include a brief explanation of why this approach is commonly used and its historical context. This can provide viewers with a better understanding of its significance.
3 DAG Style Build Systems:
• Consider adding a comparison table or visual aid to quickly highlight the differences between the depth-first and DAG approaches. This can help viewers grasp the distinctions more easily.
4 Speed Comparison:
• Include a visual representation of the speed comparison results, such as a bar chart or graph. This can make the data more digestible and impactful.
5 Comparing Features:
• Provide specific examples or case studies where each build system excels. This can help viewers relate the concepts to real-world scenarios.
6 Conclusion:
• Summarize the key takeaways in bullet points for clarity. This can reinforce the main points and make them easier to remember.
7 Interactive Q&A Session:
• Consider preparing a few common questions and answers in advance to guide the session and ensure it remains focused and informative.
8 Transitions:
• Plan smooth transitions between different sections, especially when switching between code, command line, and diagrams. This can help maintain the flow and keep the audience engaged.
9 Call to Action:
• End with a call to action, encouraging viewers to explore further resources or try implementing the concepts in their projects.
