Been doing a lot of homework on deck framing and man-made decking, as stated in my other post.
In my digging I watched this contractor build a few decks on YouTube.
He nailed ribbon & end joists to posts and laid deck boards on. Correct me if I am wrong but aren't you supposed to put joists over beams on top of post ends? (Starting about 2:00)
He had one support in the middle but it was only nailed to the post side.

He also dumped bags of Quickcrete in dug out hole & poured in water. Then mixed it in the hole itstelf.

That seems off to me.
