The technique in the video is interesting, I'll need to think about it (and maybe experiment a bit) to see what I think. It's different than what I'm doing. It usually doesn't occur to me to search for tutorials, I kind of stumbled into the idea of how I'm doing the diagonal color changes and just kept going with it. I don't think I realized it was a problem that I needed to solve (or that even could be solved) before I came up with the idea for how I could do it while working on something else. So there was never a time when I said "I have this problem with Y, I wonder if anyone else has a solution for it", it was more like "hey, I can do X, I bet I can use that to deal with Y". Generally I'm doing things via my own experimentation. In theory I feel like I ought to be more engaged with understanding how other people do things, but I'm not good at searching it out or running across it organically.
