5:18 - "There's a joke that won't date well" Well, you see... this is gonna be a little weird to explain....
-
"I didn't study Computer Science, I'm not writing elegant solutions" Me, a computer science grad: Oh, is that what I was meant to be doing?
-
Tom: "Lua is a programming language that's weird, but not that weird." Also Tom: "Lua starts counting from 1."
-
I started genuinely laughing at "saves it to a file on disk", I was like "oh you set up a sort of API between autohotkey and lua" -- no, saved to a file on disk. That's amazing.
-
"Someone will have done this before" Is basically how to learn to code
-
"And then writes it to a file on disk" wow that is maximum bodge now
-
The “no” in response to hypothetical requests to use Linux is still one of my favorite Tom Scott moments to this day.
-
"Because Lua, unlike every other programming language in modern times, counts from 1 and not from 0." laughs in MATLAB
-
Was a pleasure working with you tom. I've still got the brown leather we used on the horse bot, a metal detector from the treasurebot and ski willy. Stupid TV schedules they can do one.
-
Fun fact about emoji: it is etymologically unrelated to the word "emoticon". Emoticon is a combination of the words "emotion" and "icon", whilst emoji is a combination of the Japanese words "e", meaning picture, and "moji", meaning character.
-
The funny thing is, Japanese don't use emoji's that often anymore. You just type in ”かお” and press space, you can chose from a bunch of "顔文字(kaomoji)"s. (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾

I loved the part when Tom said “It’s bodging time!” and bodged all over Windows.
-
Tom's upset that it took him a whole half-hour to solve a coding problem while I'm thinking "That only took you half an hour? Kudos."
-
"That joke's not going to age well" 2020: Well, actually....
-
me: * has never programmed anything in my life* tom: "this program counts from 1 intead of 0" me: * dies of heart attack*
-
Tom: "By the way, if anyone out there suggest using Linux... no." Me, a Linux user for almost a decade: "Fair."
-
“Thats right there’s and f24 key...” looks at keyboard “...but it most certainly isn’t on your keyboard.” dreams crushed
-
That No for Linux caught me off guard and made me feel like a small child that's been told No by their dad.
-
The greatest plot twist of all time: “one take” at the end of a 17 minute video
-
"Movie studios were bidding on an emoji-based pitch." Well that didn't go very well
