Glad my channel has helped you guys. I quit my job at Twilio to do this full-time. I'm on a warpath to educate and inspire the shit out of everyone. Human readable link: https://www.youtube.com/c/sirajology (I am Siraj, hi everyone)
I've run across several of your videos and was surprised by how few views they had, considering the high production quality and engaging style. I guess these things take time. Keep it up and I have no doubt you'll reach critical mass.

#85I'm a bit of a David Beazley fanboy and Python lover. I've watched all of his keynotes and lectures at this point and I have yet to find one that wasn't incredibly informative. You can watch the video for whatever the main topic is about, but finish the talk having picked up a wealth of other bits of useful information. In addition, I have incredible amounts of respect for people that are willing (and capable) to liv…
I like live coding as well. For example: https://www.twitch.tv/notch/v/38122203 . Notch of Minecraft fame coding a new game from scratch over a period of two days. You get to see what tools they use, what their thought process is and so forth. It's especially good if they know what they're doing, as you can learn when watching it.

#86I'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; l…
I had no idea that Mark Lewis was on YouTube! He was one of my favorite professors at Trinity and I'm grateful to know he's still at it and reaching others outside of San Antonio.

Siraj, just watched a few of your video and it's awesome. Can you go a bit slow though? It's way too fast. I am guessing you are of Indian origin, my indian friends are very fast for me as well :-)

#88I do not, in fact, have a favorite YT channel for developers. I hate with a fiery passion the recent fad of making everything that is supposed to be text, maybe text with a few pictures into a video. You cannot search a video. You cannot skim a video. You cannot copy and paste code sample from a video. You cannot watch it offline as easily as you can read a page.

I love Bisqwit. The software development content is great, but also his overall personality and philosophy really come through in the videos and resonate with me personally. The level of craftsmanship in his videos is far beyond the typical powerpoint slides mixed with live editing. It would take paragraphs to list all the reasons why, just watch them.
I just found out about him, and his videos look very interesting, but the way he talks (the timings/accent/stresses) make me completely unable to focus on the content because I keep focusing on the speech. Does anyone else get that?

Different learning styles... Sometimes a video is far more effective for me than reading docs or posts. Especially if its a new language/framework/concept.
