Re: List of YouTube channels for improving web development and programming skills
#2I'll tell what my big blank spot is that I've never found a good tutorial for is how to break down a design file into a working page. I do mostly backend and architecture kinda work, but frontend/mobile UI dev has gotten more and more important. I understand the tech and can write code that functions, but when I look at a Sketch or Figma design, I just have no idea what to do with it.

I think like anything else it comes with practise and some familiarity with the UI framework of the platform you're building for. You could try looking at something like dribbble and reimplementing some small widget or bit of UI in your platform. On mobile I've found things to become a little bit easier as the types of layouts are more restricted and designers tend to make use of the platform's stock UI elements more.

#4This list would have been considerably more helps with description of what each channel was about and other surrounding details

#5I clicked on a few and they all turned out to be tutorials for beginners.
I would use it if it had a filter for "How long have you been programming:"
[ ] Never [ ] 1 Year [ ] 3 Years [ ] Over 10 years
Then I would tick the "Over 10 years" option and hope to find channels that update me on the latest developments. While somebody else would select the "Never" option and will find beginner tutorials.

#6It is just a list without any more info or context. Do people find these things useful? I get the impression it's just a lot of bitching on how important soft skills are without any good technical content. "Go for func" is the only one I got something out of when I started developing Go.

#7I think a lot of educational Youtube channels aren't that great in actually teaching you anything. What they are great at is sparking the interest and planting the seed for your own work. At least my experience is that actually doing things is how I learn them. Youtube can be a great springboard for that.
Things to look out for: a person you like and who has enthusiasm and knowledge.
For example EEVBlog Youtube channel was a great way to get into electronics. It's very surface level, and you have to do the learning yourself, but the surface level of what you get is a broad overview which you can choose how to deepen and iterate on. Get that surface level from Youtube, so that you can understand the whole picture, then go through the parts yourself.
For just learning web efficiently, things like https://fullstackopen.com/en/ seem a lot better.

Completely agree. I watch various programming/software videos on YouTube, but afterwards my recommendations is filled with "Intro to JS".

Is that not just conferences in your fields? I download plenty of the major ones and end up with way more than I can ever hope to watch.
