3 Blue 1 Brown, it’s a mathematics channel with, as far as I’m concerned, unparalleled production quality. He’s a Stanford Mathematician who covers everything in topics from topology, number theory, calculus with nothing required beyond High School/1st year undergraduate maths. Also, his visualisations are nothing short of beautiful.

The python programs he wrote to produce those visualizations is also hosted on GitHub[0]. The repo includes the source for all his videos.

Fun Fun Function Swedish developer at Spotify (who studied film and theatre in uni) talks about (mostly) JavaScript stuff.

Fun fun function has helped me to find the joy in programming javascript. Kudos to him!

Come work on the same monstrosity that I am working with, that will help it disappear again.

I used to never watch Youtube and then I got a samsung 5k smartTV with the youtube app built in and I fell in love. There are such great content creators there once you get through the mess. The first thing I do when I get home from work to decompress is load up the youtube app on my TV and check the releases on the channels I follow.

His linear algebra series is fantastic study material in helping poeple to picture just exactly what a linear transformation/determinant/eigenvalue looks like!

None at all - maybe the odd music video from 'my generation' (1970s-90s, love Eurythmics, later Fleetwood Mac, Spandau Ballet, Steve Winwood, Queen...). I prefer the factual written word for hobby stuff (electronics/vintage computing) as it's much easier to run through the material at your own pace and hop around articles. Maybe it's a topic/generation thing - it's not a phobia as I'm a 'Technical Delivery Manager' d…

Same. I'm a programmer, probably much younger than you, but I dislike the video format. It's harder to follow, more time consuming and less efficient. I might watch something occasionally from a recommendation, or watch some comedy or lectures by myself from time to time, but I don't watch anything regularly the way I check my RSS feeds with text articles regularly. Same applies to podcasts.

I do like the same music, despite of being born later. So maybe it's determined by one's music taste? ;)
