The Verge is a hit or miss outfit for me. Sometimes they're fine, but then you remember when they tried to build a PC and you wonder if they really actually know what they're doing over there.

Apparently they gave that guy (who had never built a PC on camera before) like less than a week to put that video together. Should it have gone out? No, but it's not the guy in the video's fault. Source: https://youtu.be/QKzmYsySGFQ

Oh I'm not throwing shade at Stefan, but the entire organization. A product like that doesn't happen because of one journalist, it happens because upper management constantly undervalues the time and effort it takes to put it together.

A week is plenty of time to do it right. It's not like you're asking someone who doesn't know algebra to do a video teaching advanced calculus in a week.
