If I were to make Advent of Code videos, do either of these sound interesting?

They'd be either live/unedited or like the normal videos with some light audio/other edits, so a full build up from nothing with no external/3rd party libraries, other than syscalls or language built-ins.

Can't promise it'd be any time soon, just an idea for random one offs or a few videos.
Could be any AOC from 2015-current year.

Assembly of Code: x86_64 asm on Linux, probably using Fasm with macros.

AS/400 of Code: RPG/SQL, or COBOL/other langs, on a hosted IBM i (midrange, not quite a mainframe).

Or something else that you suggest.

With recent stuff taking a while for editing and juggling on-call schedules, for the upcoming EFI development videos and after I'm considering changing formats. Each video would go over code that's already done, which should be a lot shorter videos, instead of typing it up and thinking as we go.
There would still be explanations of why & how things work, with examples, but code would have already gone through a few drafts and be working first, unless its to show errors or similar. 

Longer sessions could be done on streams and then cleaned up into sections for videos afterwards, for example, or I can explore other ways of doing programming videos.

What would you want to see? 

"Code Review" style with explanations/examples, already typed up

Keep it longer, typing things up and explaining as you go

Don't care, just try to upload more than once in a blue moon

Something else for the fourth poll option

Since videos that aren't off youtube aren't postable here, this is a twitter link:  https://twitter.com/i/status/1464739219612569607 
It crushes the bitrate but the sound should work on that. Square wave sound on emulated PC speaker works! After it speeds up, the first play is slow for some reason, but this one (2nd play) is normal speed. 

Am using enum of ints for note hz values to divide pit by, 1193182 / these values give the notes.
Then am "playing" a given frequency for a number of milliseconds. Resting is playing a note above human hearing (~30khz) so it seems silent. Very manual process right now, but it's a start. The goal is kind of bootleg midi but worse.

Content is probably done for the next video. Struggled with some dumb mistakes for a while, but got some PIC IRQs working now. Checking IRQ0 PIT ticks, Keyboard uses IRQ1 now, and reading/updating date & time from the CMOS real time clock for IRQ8. Not shown are makefile and other changes to build the file table and boot with no manual changes anymore

Finalizing editing this week on a video for making fonts more generic in the OS. Have to tweak sound a bit, sounded a bit quieter than usual. Moving on to software/hardware interrupt support after this
