#12https://www.youtube.com/bisqwit is by far my favorite and I've spent many hours watching him.
He does things like create a Doom-style engine from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQYsFshbkYw .. create a NES emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y71lli8MS8s .. work back from a C++17 example to show why new C++ standards are needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrwwa68JXNk .. and even building a Tetris clone in GW-BASIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDnypVoQcPw .. Right now, he's doing a series on cracking 80s videogame passwords: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzLzYGEbdY5nEFQsxzFan...
Sirajology - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWN3xxRkmTPmbKwht9FuE5A - is another interesting one. He moves a bit too quickly for me, but does things like explain machine learning in 5 minutes or how to generate music with systems like Tensorflow.

#13Fun Fun Function is often entertaining. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO1cgjhGzsSYb1rsB4bFe4Q
+1 for FunFun Function, even though it's mostly about javascript or web development he talks about general development issues in a very charismatic way

#14I've been enjoying Jon Blow's (creator of Braid & The Witness) programming language talks and demos. He's making a new programming language for games, and it's very interesting to watch. I think he's even hired a developer to work on the compiler.
Here's the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmV5I2fxaiCKfxMBrNsU1...

#16I'm going to use this opportunity to list some relatively unknown yet excellent software dev related channels that I've come across over the years.
* Derek Banas (https://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas): staggering amount of content on a huge variety of programming topics; tutorial-style; this guy is so productive it scares me sometimes :(
* Mark Lewis (https://www.youtube.com/user/DrMarkCLewis): CS professor; lots of videos on general CS, functional programming; focus on Scala
* VoidRealms (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYP0nk48grsMwO3iL8YaAKA): excellent C++-focused content, great Qt series
* mathematicalmonk (https://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk): great ML and probability videos
* mycodeschool (https://www.youtube.com/user/mycodeschool): general CS, algorithms, data structures
* HandmadeHero (https://www.youtube.com/user/handmadeheroarchive): excellent series by Casey Muratori that explains a huge number of topics related to game dev, gfx programming; has a really long series of videos documenting how he's building an indie game from the ground up i.e. custom engine
I will update once I think of others :)

#17I don't think they have dedicated pages, but searching for the classics Dan Friedman and Gerald Sussman is guaranteed brain tease. The minikanren relational interpreter is still high in my top videos ever, and Sussman watch engineering talk was packed with surprises.

Coding a game engine from scratch, but don't think it's just about games. The techniques covered range from beginner to highly advanced and programmers in any field, at any skill level, can learn a lot. For example, check out the live editing/reloading for C code in Week 5. https://hero.handmade.network/episodes
