I 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.

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.

Also it's nice to see how different developers do their job, I've learned a lot of productive tricks by just watching how other people work.

Your channel is cool. The videos are short and crisp and gives a basic understanding for totally new topics like machine learning for me in a very short time. Good job.
