Ben Eater’s 6502 programming videos are great. https://www.youtube.com/c/BenEater

Some of my favorites are:
- Simple Made Easy (Hickey): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oytL881p-nQ
- The Mess We're In (Armstrong): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKXe3HUG2l4
- The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Multiple Dispatch (Karpinski): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc9HwsxE1OY

Not a channel, but talks by David Beazley on Python topics are gems. High insight density. The presentation are often 60+ pages, and you can spend hours playing with each concept in every 'slide'. His talks are rabbit holes. Raymond Hettinger tweets snippets of code that are delicious. His talks are really useful, too. Specifically, the one entitled 'Beyond PEP8' which focuses you on the impact you can have by zoomin…
"The Jimmy Hendrix of Python", I thought it was really funny and accurate
TechLead on YouTube. The most advanced programming concepts you’ll find on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/c/TechLead
On my channel (Semicolon&Sons), the focus is on:
- concepts with a tech shelf-life of approximately "one career" (e.g. unix, SQL, system design) rather than on fad frameworks (e.g. whatever JS framework is popular today)
- production codebases (real users, real money, real legacy) rather than toy examples. I base my screencasts off lessons I've learned running my software product over 10+ years.
- tradeoffs rather than overconfidence in trending principles
- I also add in a softer, more business-oriented twist, based on my own background as an independent software entrepreneur: my screencasts have a strong focus on what it takes to market a piece a software, to help the users who'll benefit from your software actually discover it and take a chance with it. This translates into videos on SEO, Analytics, AdWords etc.

I have double as many videos, along with show-notes, on the accompanying website: https://www.semicolonandsons.com/

I once saw him described as: "The Jimmy Hendrix of Python", I thought it was really funny and accurate
"I'm going to watch a David Beazley video on generators". Start playing the video. He shows the first slide and explains a few things. I read the code in the slide, then go to a terminal and launch a Python interpreter, and write the code without looking at the screen, to cement the concept more than if I simply had copied it or, God forbid, just watched the video.
Here's the problem: every slide shows some weird behavior or using something I use daily in a way I didn't know it could be used, and I do read the Python language reference for fun. Next thing you know, I spent one hour on the first slide playing with the concept, and writing snippets to show how I could use it to solve problems I had faced before. The presentation is 60+ slides or the talk is 3 hours. More often than not live coding the whole thing.
He's a sorcerer and must be stopped.
