Please stop saying "go ahead"

Dear presenter, You say "go ahead and do this", "go ahead and do that" incessantly. For example, in this video about the console in chrome dev tools, you used that expression 25 times in 6:59 seconds. It is incredibly distracting. It takes away from your otherwise helpful videos.

Thank you.

I remember when I was thinking If he says "and I'll just go ahead and click this..." one more time I'm going to go crazy—then he says it 17 more times. But, I felt patience is key, and these lessons are a steal.

I felt like a total jerk right after I posted that. I perspective was coming from a place of love, but it totally didn't come off that way. We all have our little ticks that we rely on when we are nervous. We can all become better public speakers also, if we learn to control those ticks even in the face of nervousness. Nick, I was only trying to be helpful. Sorry for doing it in such a douchey way!

I like NIck's way presenting. There are worse presenters on here but Nick is not one of them. Just my view.

I disagree with the comment about the errors in the video. I think it's very useful to see how experienced developers deal with errors -- how they go and find documentation and solutions.

Hhahaha! I love it! And the part about the computer possessed by demons made me laugh out loud!

Yes, computers can be possessed by daemons and ghosts, lengthy code can assimilate differently than predicted, and machines start exhibiting behaviour atypical of them. Whenever such things happen, we need to earnestly get Detective Spooner.

P.S: For those who don't know where it's coming from - Context: iRobot and Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics!

Haha this is exactly what was going through my mind as I was listening to this lesson. Come on now, cut down on the "go ahead"!
