https://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 c…

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)

At my codeschool (jaaga.in/study) last night we all hung out enjoying your videos. Thanks !

I'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…

Yes! Came here to say Derek Banas. Dude is amazing. Genius level, incredible teacher, the guy was made for this. Came out of lurking just to post this.

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.

it is amazing to me that this guy earned 20k euros in finland as a developer and went on to be a bus driver where he earned more. He also talked about how he got fired for not handing in weekly reports..Someone with his skills should be able to work anywhere and make a really good living. Anyway, youtube seems like a good way for him to express himself, i hope he will find success.

These are not in any particular order and I do not watch every single video on their feeds, just the ones that are relevant or seem interesting. ChromeDevelopers: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChromeDevelopers LevelUpTuts: https://www.youtube.com/user/LevelUpTuts Strange Loop: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_QIfHvN9auy2CoOdSfMWDw Computerphile: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9-y-6csu5WGm29I7JiwpnA funfunfunction…

Computerphile is magnificent!

I do like computerphile, but as a professional developer, vastly too simplified for me. I do send it to none technical friends, as it cuts out the unnecessary details to get the point across in a ELI5 way.

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.

What if they provide the code samples for download?
