Nope, never watched that channel. I have a manual machine, so I supposed there wouldn't be much relevant to me there.
The idea of programmable machine tools is enticing to me, though, but realistically I don't ever expect to have to make more than one of anything. So I would certainly waste a whole lot of time and materials going through the debugging stages of any program I would write. I HAVE watched quite a few crashes done with CNC machinery on YouTube, and they are rather cringe worthy. Seems like a great way to not only waste material, but to destroy machines and tooling with really severe programming bugs. Very graphic way to illustrate the rule of sore thumbs in programming: "The program won't always do what you want or think you told it to do, but will ALWAYS do exactly what you DID tell it to do."
