Scripts for my talks on the YouTube channel.
up to the 43rd are in https://github.com/0atman/noboilerplate, then I switched to publishing them here on this site (the repo is https://github.com/NamtaoProductions/namtao.org).

I build these using obsidian.md and presenterm: I take each slide, screenshot it at 4k, then splice it with my audio using reaper.fm.
