Programmer here, I'm very proud of you! Going from zero coding to an elaborate final project in such a short time is fantastic. Knowing how to find relevant examples, modifying them to get your desired results, debugging (on Lord the endless debugging), and even how to trick chat gpt into being half-decent when you're at your wits end. Really fantastic progress!
Absolutely, a complete beginner can't expect to make a complete project within the first 2 weeks of learning. I also admire the bravery and determination to dive into learning on the job. I did notice a few people dismissing the programming as being difficult, but they might not appreciate that dealing with custom hardware is a beast and you'll find that the documentation is never enough. Amazing work going through other peoples' project to rip out the stuff you want, that's a lot of what programming is. AI is a double edged sword because while it was fantastic in assisting to get someone up to speed, you just have to be mindful that you don't always offload problem solving to AI - but she gave it a go first and went to ChatGPT as a last resort which is really good. I only ever use things like ChatGPT and Codeium for things I already know how to do but is a waste of time for me to do - I basically just use Codeium to autocomplete Rust trait implementations because it's a lot of boilerplate and I only want to tweak a couple of things if I can't just derive it. I would advise that if you get stuck and are feeling frustrated, you have to move onto something else - luckily with programming you often have multiple avenues to go down, but it doesn't have to be programming; you just need some time and come back to it with some more ideas, could for instance have sanded and painted the 3D printed parts. Frustration clouds your ability to think and it just wastes time. Looking forward to see more electronics be included in future projects.
Exactly, to go from no coding experience and taking on a fairly advanced project! Amazing work! Her analytical thinking is right on the money. Also, she handled the inevitable "I'm such an idiot" moment quite well. Even after decades of experience it doesn't get any better. 😢
WAITTTTT That would be such a cool way to introduce a collab with other types of creators thooooooo (Imagine she actually goes thru the rift and stars in HC tho... 👀👀)
If Jess does this I'll be putting on my Mumbo Jumbo, Grian, Lizzy (LD Shadow Lady), GoodTimesWithScar, Jimmy SoldiataryGames, QSMP/DSMP Cosplays! YO! Jess Less! Collab?
"One line of code" "Swapping two wires" As an electronics hobbyist and a professional programmer of over 20 years, yup. It's always like this. Lot of time spent figuring out that all that was wrong was something incredibly simple. You did a fantastic job all around with this project! Diving in headfirst and learning something new is an admirable trait that everyone should strive to emulate. Keep on making awesome stuff! It's so fun to see what you come up with!
Im torn because on the one hand it’s grumbot my beloved, but on the other hand Grumbot now exists in this world and we’re more at risk of him finding out Mumbo didn’t win the mayor election and I don’t know what that robot will do then. EDIT: Or I mean, I would be worried about if Mumbo hadnt won tbe election which he obviosuly did
12:56 "I custom programmed it. I mean I'm duct taping code together with the help of chatty over here." Speaking as a programmer for 25 years, yes. That's how that works. Most of programming is knowing how to duct tape code together. Chat-GPT is just another tool like Google or Stack Overflow. Keep up the good work and keep adding tools to your tool belt.
If I wake up to find several Grumbot robots in the process of taking over the world whilst chanting “Mumbo For Mayor”, I will be having a word with you.
5:45 a raspberry pie is a dessert, made up of a hard crust on the bottom and edges of a deep pan, and a filling made up of raspberries and sometimes a few other ingredients. Can be served warm or cold. Optionally, a layer of crust can be added on top of the filling as well.
Don't forget that you can always glue in some light weights, into the base, to make it more substantial and less prone to sliding when pressing the buttons.
*Jess describing the coding* "Shouldn't take long.." Me thinking: Oh that's sounds like what I learned in my two semesters of beginner's Python courses On Screen: 10 days later... 10 days isn't too bad actually. Very cool project! Good work breaking through your comfort zone to learn something new! :)
as someone in computer science your frustration is completely warranted and very normal- also the small wins are nonexistent- every win is huge! your logic going into the coding was sound but because you were going in without any prior knowledge, the small things that we are taught to look out for slipped past and that’s ok! i remember teaching myself c++ in physics class to code an arduino board to detect humidity and display it and when i got it to work i yelled so loud i didnt care if the whole school heard me- i also appreciated the way you used ai to help you- that’s exactly how you shouldve done it! using it as a tool to get you unstuck or to see your mistake when you need a set of new eyes on it- using it as a helper instead of having it do the whole thing for you- amazing video and im so happy this project worked!!! hes so cute!!!
This is why "totally normal obsession"s are freaking awesome. The obsession DEMANDS you expand your horizon to fuel it. One day you're a book binder, next you're a robotics engineer🤣

For the engagement algorithm; I'll admit, I got two minutes into your video to hear what you wanted to do and just went "huh would Adafruit have a kit that fits this?", so I think that's a good sign that you went down the right rabbit hole in the first place.

14:30 "I'm happy that I finally got it working but I'm so mad because it was such a simple, obvious thing." Welcome to 80% of coding problems. I am not kidding.
Agreed - it's never anywhere near what you're looking at. I can only imagine all the nightmares people had with the Intel 13th/14th Gen CPUs that Intel insisted was the developer's fault and not the CPU being at fault.
Can confirm. The laughing/crying/relieved/angry/distraught/joyful/horrified emotional mix that you get after fixing that 1 line that took you the entire week is really unmistakable.
I've been lurking for a while; but it feels like every new project you try absolutely blows me away! ^^ I'm sure Grumbot will recognize Cat Mumbo as the mayor of your household and not want to take over the world... :)
As CS major.. I can assure you that ducktaping code "to make it work" is usually all you need to finish fun / training project.. Production code is neccessary for long term development, where programers would for sure need to modify the code from time to time. But when you have clear vision of what it should do, it doesnt matter how hecticly it does it as long as it does it in the time you need it to. Also generic code would probably slow you down, as youd have to think of even more edge cases, that are not necessary here. So GJ, very nice work.
Trust me, as a programmer, most of it really is just duck taping code together and figuring out how to fix it. Being frustrated at simple mistakes and being excited when it finally works is all part of it. You're off to a great start!
"Cursed Grumbot can't hurt you" I'm not so sure about that Jess..... Amazing work as always! I still have no idea how you manage to make such insane creations. A true artist 😍
Pro tip. When creating AI it’s always smart to have a big red emergency self destruct button. One human life is a small price to pay in exchange for not destroying the entire world.
"I'm ducktaping code together" as a professional software developer, I have to say: same xD Also "quite simple" is the bane of every devs existence, it is always fun to watch someone new at coding. That being said, the result is amazing! I love this Grumbot
Most people who do programming i know copy from stackexchange, github and as a last resort chatgpt. Including myself Lol! I aint reading 500 pages per library
There is something so cool about you having/hearing the idea of making an irl Grumbot and then actually just doing it. Especially since you didn't have any previous experience with coding! It would be so easy for it to just stay as an idea and not something you actually took action on, but you didn't let the lack of experience or previous knowledge hold you back. I feel so inspired by you right now :). Congratulations on successfully programing and building him! He's adorable
Been watching for 2 years now and I still have to say "underrated". You, Jess are my favorite diy channel out there. Edit - I can imagine Jess anytime she thinks about sanding, painting, etc. She's just like "At least it's not python."
Dude there's nothing wrong with celebrating your coding win to the max. The reason many of us fell in love with programming was from beating our head against the wall for hours and FINALLY having that breakthrough. I've been chasing that high ever since.
"I'm duct taping code with the help of Chatty over here" Yup, that's basically any normal programmer's life. If there's a library out there that already exists, use it (provided licensing allows).
Yep. If there's anything the past 4 years of my coding experience has told me, it's that you should NEVER attempt to re-invent the wheel, there's no need to remake something that already exists and is probably optimised and tested more thoroughly.
Terrific work! Just wanna say the programming of cycle of "Why isn't this working?", "Yay it works!", "Why is this working?", never ends. You either love it or hate it, but there is always the thrill of figuring out something new. Also, LLMs are terrible and great for programing tips. They will give you broken code and if you don't know what to look for, then it is easy to get trapped. If you do more projects that require code look at resources like Stack Overflow, that you can mix in with the LLMs.
Girl IT IS NOT AN OVERREACTION. When you finally get your code to work it's a literal euphoric feeling and I've 100% made myself tear up before by finally making something work out of all the stress
14:33 welcome to the wonderful world of electronics. i've been working with them for over 20 years and still make the same mistakes. keep going i love seeing young people do stuff like this!
WAHHHH as an aspiring industrial designer in college, all of your projects inspire me and it fuels me even more because, well, it's about Hermitcraft. You're so cool and I hope that Grumbot doesn't take over our world or anything-
One thing i have learned... If you think soldering is difficult or if you think its not really coming out all that nicely.... the price/quality of your soldering iron makes all the difference. You'd think "how would it matter.. its just a thing thats hot".. but it makes a huuuuuuge difference. Soldering tiny parts on a proper station is so much easier. The fact you managed this with a cheap wallmart one is really good
Welcome to coding ! Where you don't know why it doesn't work, and you don't know why *it works* xD But seriously, be proud of yourself, this is NOT a "simple" project to start with. You said it just does the most basic functions at around 24mins, but although buttons are simple, a led matrix is pretty advanced. I encourage you to continue to learn code, bc when you know you're just like "ok, I'll just do that and add that and bip bap boop it's working" and it's soooo rewarding. It's an amazing project and the result is incredible. HE'S SO CUUUUTE
I do not possess the vocabulary to describe how impressed I am by this. Seriously, this is actually so amazing and I doubt a huge majority of people would be able to get anywhere close to doing it.
As soon as you said 21:17 I knew exactly what was going to happen. I definitely feel for you, vastly underestimating how hard a coding project will be is something every newcomer deals with at least once, and seeing your euphoria of getting it to finally work is VERY relatable no matter how experienced someone is. Not sure how much you'll do in the future, but all coding gets easier the more you do it.
20:28 “I think I can do this, it feels pretty simple”. Is be best evolution from “my comfort zone doesn’t exist in this project”. It feels like when Mumbo or any redstoner says “It should be pretty simple”. Even the 10 hours of issues is the red stoner cut after dying AFK saying “so… i messed up, but it’s working now!”
TH-cam kept recommending this video for a while. Today i said "fiiine ill watch it" ...the algorithm is scary. cause yup! that was a very fun video! well done on everything! the storytelling, the editing, the hour upon hours of failing, learning, improving and then starting back over at failiing again till you finally made an amazing project.
This is honestly so inspiring because I'm a crafter/maker/creative that likes to dip their toes in all kinds of crafts/hobbies but there are certain things, like coding and creating electrical circuitry, that I've been interested in, but felt they were too intimidating/complex and so hadn't really explored them that much. But yet here you are with an idea of what you want to make but not having the knowledge/skills for all parts of it and instead of letting that deter you or having to outsource that part of the project, you just dive right in and learn on the fly. It honestly makes me want to give these types of things a try too, within the means i have currently available to me, like learning how to code mods for games
I'm a robotics engineer and each one of the issues you ran into is nothing to be worried about, I myself had code held back for an entire day because of a pair of numbers being in the wrong order and on the same project the electronics guy on my team spent one on a similar case of wires being swapped (on one of those light up buttons actually). Great work, it came out really cool. With my main focus being programming though I do have to mention about ChatGPT and code, it tends to be really bad at it and on the occasion that it does write functional code it makes it impossible to maintain (I noticed it showing through in the clip getting the buttons to work) so generally it's a good idea to try and learn at least the basics for yourself before relying on example code, your own old code, forums/stackoverflow and ChatGPT in that order with ChatGPT being the last resort. Obviously it worked out but if you plan to do anything with more involved programming that would probably make things faster and easier.
First of all - OMG THIS IS AMAZING. Secondly: 15:35 - "This programming learning curve's got HANDS" From somebody who has been programming for well over 15 years - the curve never gets any less steep lol. Your experience for this video is a solid majority of my typical work week. "Why isn't this working???" _spends two days trying to figure out code problems_ "Oh. Wait. It's not my fault... It's a known bug in ... I should have checked that first I guess." Also, there's a joke that the only keys a programmer needs are Control, C, and V. It's not completely true though - We need all the other alphanumeric keys to Google for code to copy in the first place! :P
This is so good, the whole thing, coding is so terrible but also so satisfying when you can get it to work, I never understand half of the things you do but I’m always so impressed and your Grumbot is so cute!

Also "quite simple" is the bane of every devs existence, it is always fun to watch someone new at coding.
That being said, the result is amazing! I love this Grumbot
Most people who do programming i know copy from stackexchange, github and as a last resort chatgpt. Including myself Lol! I aint reading 500 pages per library
There is something so cool about you having/hearing the idea of making an irl Grumbot and then actually just doing it. Especially since you didn't have any previous experience with coding! It would be so easy for it to just stay as an idea and not something you actually took action on, but you didn't let the lack of experience or previous knowledge hold you back. I feel so inspired by you right now :). Congratulations on successfully programing and building him! He's adorable
Been watching for 2 years now and I still have to say "underrated". You, Jess are my favorite diy channel out there.
Edit - I can imagine Jess anytime she thinks about sanding, painting, etc. She's just like "At least it's not python."
Dude there's nothing wrong with celebrating your coding win to the max. The reason many of us fell in love with programming was from beating our head against the wall for hours and FINALLY having that breakthrough. I've been chasing that high ever since.
"I'm duct taping code with the help of Chatty over here"
Yup, that's basically any normal programmer's life. If there's a library out there that already exists, use it (provided licensing allows).
Yep. If there's anything the past 4 years of my coding experience has told me, it's that you should NEVER attempt to re-invent the wheel, there's no need to remake something that already exists and is probably optimised and tested more thoroughly.
Terrific work!
Just wanna say the programming of cycle of "Why isn't this working?", "Yay it works!", "Why is this working?", never ends. You either love it or hate it, but there is always the thrill of figuring out something new.
Also, LLMs are terrible and great for programing tips. They will give you broken code and if you don't know what to look for, then it is easy to get trapped. If you do more projects that require code look at resources like Stack Overflow, that you can mix in with the LLMs.
5:52 love the @minbitt shoutout!! they're an incredible animator
0:28How can that cat's name be anything other than Mumbo. It's the cat version of the suited man himself.
I loved this & there's no such thing as overreacting over simple functions after multiple days of debugging!
yo @mumbo needs to see this. I genuinely believe he would be so honored. This was a very good video.
Well, he did :3 Just found his comment here
Girl IT IS NOT AN OVERREACTION. When you finally get your code to work it's a literal euphoric feeling and I've 100% made myself tear up before by finally making something work out of all the stress
We got irl Grumbot before GTA 6
14:33 welcome to the wonderful world of electronics. i've been working with them for over 20 years and still make the same mistakes. keep going i love seeing young people do stuff like this!
LETS GO JESS
She quoted him!!!! That is word for word and conotation and everything!!! :))))
“Today we return to the wonderful world of hermits and crafting”
AHHHHH!
also I think we have the same completely normal obsession
WAHHHH as an aspiring industrial designer in college, all of your projects inspire me and it fuels me even more because, well, it's about Hermitcraft. You're so cool and I hope that Grumbot doesn't take over our world or anything-
To jump in despite your reservations and make your vision a reality?
Respect.
One thing i have learned... If you think soldering is difficult or if you think its not really coming out all that nicely.... the price/quality of your soldering iron makes all the difference. You'd think "how would it matter.. its just a thing thats hot".. but it makes a huuuuuuge difference. Soldering tiny parts on a proper station is so much easier. The fact you managed this with a cheap wallmart one is really good
Welcome to coding ! Where you don't know why it doesn't work, and you don't know why *it works* xD But seriously, be proud of yourself, this is NOT a "simple" project to start with. You said it just does the most basic functions at around 24mins, but although buttons are simple, a led matrix is pretty advanced. I encourage you to continue to learn code, bc when you know you're just like "ok, I'll just do that and add that and bip bap boop it's working" and it's soooo rewarding.
It's an amazing project and the result is incredible. HE'S SO CUUUUTE
I love the subtle detail of the last life sweater.
Um, actually a raspberry pi is a pastry shell filled with a delicious fruity filling and baked at 180°C for 45 minutes
Engagement for the engagement gods!
Darn i wasn’t the first person to make a joke about raspberry pie
actually..a raspberry *PI* is raspberry 3.14159265358979
I do not possess the vocabulary to describe how impressed I am by this. Seriously, this is actually so amazing and I doubt a huge majority of people would be able to get anywhere close to doing it.
I CLICKED ON THIS VIDEO SO FAST, ALSO GRUMBOT!!! MY BOY! Jess you're amazing
As soon as you said 21:17 I knew exactly what was going to happen. I definitely feel for you, vastly underestimating how hard a coding project will be is something every newcomer deals with at least once, and seeing your euphoria of getting it to finally work is VERY relatable no matter how experienced someone is. Not sure how much you'll do in the future, but all coding gets easier the more you do it.
20:28 “I think I can do this, it feels pretty simple”. Is be best evolution from “my comfort zone doesn’t exist in this project”.
It feels like when Mumbo or any redstoner says “It should be pretty simple”.
Even the 10 hours of issues is the red stoner cut after dying AFK saying “so… i messed up, but it’s working now!”
TH-cam kept recommending this video for a while. Today i said "fiiine ill watch it" ...the algorithm is scary. cause yup! that was a very fun video! well done on everything! the storytelling, the editing, the hour upon hours of failing, learning, improving and then starting back over at failiing again till you finally made an amazing project.
A wonderfully chobblesome project.
It is actually *very* chobblesome 🥹🥹
I love the little toon he plays has the motif of work from grain, that song is essentially the hermitcraft theme song!
gosh this is such a cool project we need the dads to see this!!
Thats so cool and that cat is such a distinguished gentleman
Jess Less for Mayor??? 👀
This project is super cool! Thank you for sticking with it even when it was kicking your butt.
This video actually changed my life. I genuinely changed what a levels I picked because I wanted to do electronics because of this video.
GRUMBOT HAS BEEN GIVEN LIFEEEE! That is so cool!
THAT TOON IS WORK BY JUNO LETS GOOOOO very nice absolutely beatiful
She really needs a reserved spot for hermitcraft she makes such cool and creative things perfect for hermit craft.
31: 26 OMG! I didn’t realise it was a very softened remix of work!! ❤❤ it’s adorable
32:29 i saw that "GET GORGEOUS" 😏
This is honestly so inspiring because I'm a crafter/maker/creative that likes to dip their toes in all kinds of crafts/hobbies but there are certain things, like coding and creating electrical circuitry, that I've been interested in, but felt they were too intimidating/complex and so hadn't really explored them that much. But yet here you are with an idea of what you want to make but not having the knowledge/skills for all parts of it and instead of letting that deter you or having to outsource that part of the project, you just dive right in and learn on the fly. It honestly makes me want to give these types of things a try too, within the means i have currently available to me, like learning how to code mods for games
Grian and mumbo need to see this
Mumbo already has, so i'm sure he'll tell Grian XD
Mumbo for Mayor.
I'm a robotics engineer and each one of the issues you ran into is nothing to be worried about, I myself had code held back for an entire day because of a pair of numbers being in the wrong order and on the same project the electronics guy on my team spent one on a similar case of wires being swapped (on one of those light up buttons actually).
Great work, it came out really cool.
With my main focus being programming though I do have to mention about ChatGPT and code, it tends to be really bad at it and on the occasion that it does write functional code it makes it impossible to maintain (I noticed it showing through in the clip getting the buttons to work) so generally it's a good idea to try and learn at least the basics for yourself before relying on example code, your own old code, forums/stackoverflow and ChatGPT in that order with ChatGPT being the last resort. Obviously it worked out but if you plan to do anything with more involved programming that would probably make things faster and easier.
This is one of the only acceptable ways to use Ai!! Super cool project!
Came because I wanted to learn from an Electronics master. Stayed, because "learning something new" makes the best content IMO.
First of all - OMG THIS IS AMAZING.
Secondly:
15:35 - "This programming learning curve's got HANDS"
From somebody who has been programming for well over 15 years - the curve never gets any less steep lol. Your experience for this video is a solid majority of my typical work week.
"Why isn't this working???"
_spends two days trying to figure out code problems_
"Oh. Wait. It's not my fault... It's a known bug in ... I should have checked that first I guess."
Also, there's a joke that the only keys a programmer needs are Control, C, and V. It's not completely true though - We need all the other alphanumeric keys to Google for code to copy in the first place! :P
i've been meaning to watch this video for ages and now that i have: WOW! you did an amazing job. you should be immensely proud of yourself!
This is so good, the whole thing, coding is so terrible but also so satisfying when you can get it to work, I never understand half of the things you do but I’m always so impressed and your Grumbot is so cute!
Congratulations on the feature in Minecraft Live
