What are the good channels for developers on YouTube to learn about e.g., programming techniques or best-practices?

It depends on what I am trying to improve on. Currently it is the CMU Database Group https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnBsf2rH-K7pn09rb3qvkA because I have never taken any DB courses in school and I felt the need to shore up my skills there.

computerphile isn't really for developers. It's for non-developers to get a glimpse into the world of developers. Everything they explain there is extremely elementary. However, I quite enjoy Bradey's other channels (numberphile, and sixty symbols) as I am not a professional in physics or math.
