You're getting a lot of glib answers, but in all seriousness, this is one of the amazing things about tom7 videos. It sometimes starts by appearing to be about nonsense or triviality, but as he weaves all these weird stories, they start to come together into observations that are absolutely brilliant and funny and he writes code to demonstrate what he's saying. I highly recommend "Harder Drive: Hard drives we didn't want or need" as an intro to his style, his humor, and the absurd lengths he will go to in order to prove a point. It's in three chapters and the middle chapter still blows my mind.
