0:25 The screen for the plugin header is a little bit fast on the transition.

5:33 For checking if your event has been scheduled, would it be better to use WP CLI wp cron event list so there are fewer steps, and it's much cleaner output. I would say it is easier than grabbing and unserializing data to find your event.
