Usually I dislike watching videos instead of slides, but this 
time I agree.
I think that this video is about giving instantaneous feedback to 
users and what they can gain from it: so slides aren't "good 
enough" here.

That said, when he plays with numeric values in the code, I can't 
help thinking: this is wrong there shouldn't be "magical" 
numerical value in the code as this is not maintainable/readable.
