A couple months back, I made a post here on DEV asking for opinions about e‑waste and why people would waste good salvage from vape hardware. Someone commented and asked me if i made tutorials or videos — but at the time, I said no because I wasn’t confident in my skill level, and honestly, I didn’t think I could make a video that felt “good enough” to share.

Even earlier than that, I made another post asking if it was ethical to use a TTS narrator because of my dysphoria. I wasn’t sure if people would think it was misleading or weird. The response I got was overwhelmingly supportive. A lot of you told me it was completely fine, that accessibility and comfort matter, and that using a narrator doesn’t make the work any less mine.

Those comments stuck with me.

And now — months later — I finally made a video.
