Why Leave Mistakes in the Videos?

Legend has it that Mozart was able compose music in a single draft with no need for revision. I'm not Mozart, and you probably aren't either. 

It is natural, common, and expected to make mistakes while coding. Whether it's from a failing test, a syntax error, or a runtime error, you are going to see a lot of red when you code, and you need to know what to do when that happens.

Stateless Code videos are done (as much as possible) in a "one take" style. If I make a mistake, you get to watch me muddle through troubleshooting it. This is done because learning the process and methods of getting yourself "unstuck" when you are stuck are just as valuable (if not more so) than the coding itself.

Editing out mistakes on an end-to-end project series does the viewer a disservice.
