Applied Science, Veritasium, and Smarter Everyday are some of my favorites. The series Smarter Everyday did on submarines and the Kodak factory were incredible!

I sadly stopped supporting veritasium and smarter everyday on patreon because their clickbaty title failed to get me interested in watching the videos anymore.

I sure the economics work out in their favour and the actual content is still great, but for me it wasn't even a conscious decision more like a fading away.

Sad that these day giving even a hint of the actual topic in the titles seems to turn off the algorithm/viewers. That and "short" formats for videos that really need an in-depth discussion. Back to books it is I guess.

Sebastian Lague does some of the best programming videos I've ever watched: https://www.youtube.com/@SebastianLague He is pretty light on the actual code (it's all open to see but he doesn't spend long going over it) and is focused on the outcome, which is huge for me. Practical Engineering ( https://www.youtube.com/@PracticalEngineeringChannel ) is also very good for deep explanations of civil and other engineering.

Is there any channel like this but specific to Enterprise problems and specific to like Java and Golang, platform engineering etc.

For some reason I've really started to enjoy watching more or less silent travel journeys on Japanese ferries. So much I'm planning to do a few trips myself. https://www.youtube.com/@SoloTravelJapan

We’re big fans of Kuga in our house.

That's a great one too! I think I've pretty much watched all that channel as well. It's a great quiet channel to have your coffee in the morning.

There's also a couple variations of the solo Japan name which have varying quality. I don't even know what the original is anymore but I grew up riding ferries so I'm partial to the ferry heavy channels.
