Decide if you want to try to generate revenue at some point, or if you are just doing it for the fun or passion of it.
If the former, you'll need to play the YouTube games, invest time in editing, improving technique, studying analytics, sticking to a schedule.
If the latter, post videos, have fun, hack at it... but don't expect more than 100 views on a video.
It can be fun either way, it really depends on your outlook. Cracking into a YouTube career is difficult, and soaks up so much time you'll find yourself wondering what happened to all the actual dev work you wanted to highlight in your content! Most of us who have had success learned a lot of tricks, but also have had a TON of luck.
Besides already being very wealthy, there's no guarantee you can get views or turn things into a full time gig. I spent two years saving up as much as I could consulting before I went into content creation full-time.
