Ask HN: What is your favorite YouTube channel for developers?

Anyone has any good source for dynamic programming ones? I'm really strugling with that topic.

Jens Dittrich : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC9zrtAkl6yY4dpcnWrCHjA - but he seems to have stopped. :( There's loads of great stuff about implementing data retrieval systems.

I do Python mostly. For Python there are conferences called PyCon. Type that into youtube search, and you'll find many channels. These are usually grouped per year and/or location. Watch videos there. The videos are not really for beginners, but for intermediate/advanced skill levels.

I love his videos too, though the fact that he quit working as a developer and got a job as a bus driver makes me worry that our industry is driving away thoughtful, creative craftspeople like him.

It could be that his situation is unique to him, and doesn't generalize at all. But it also seems plausible that the trend toward practices like sprints, stories, and open plan offices that aren't conducive to the kind of deep work that people like Bisqwit do.

It's also entirely possible that the churn and burn approach to development is what is most profitable in most situations, and that deep workers might find themselves relegated to certain niches.

None of that is meant as a knock on agile development, or any other development practices, of course. But I think it's worth stopping to think about what we give up when we dive headlong into the Agile, open office type of workflow. It would be interesting of more teams had the courage to try practices that are definitely not waterfall, but also not Scrum (which is what most shops that call themselves Agile are practicing). Something that values relatively short iterations, but also values the kinds of creativity and deep work that can't easily be broken up into sprints and stories.

I was preparing for interviews and came across Tushar Roy's channel:

I really like the way he provides most simplistic explanations to the algorithm problems. Really helpful if you are preparing for an interview.

If you like physics and want some really good explanations to simple questions, you can check Derek Mueller's channel(Veritasium) on youtube. He is a physicist and has some really good videos. I especially like his video on " Most radioactive places on earth" and a separate video on Chernobyl. Also, check his video on Uranium : Twisting the dragon's tail : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO57Zm-WNmg
