#3I've found the DefogTech channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiz26UeGvcTy4_M3Zhgk7FQ quite good at explaining some more advanced concepts. It's very java centric though.

#4The Category Theory series by Bartosz Milewski is great, it really opens for a new way of thinking about programming in general.

#5Not a channel, but talks by David Beazley on Python topics are gems. High insight density. The presentation are often 60+ pages, and you can spend hours playing with each concept in every 'slide'. His talks are rabbit holes.
Raymond Hettinger tweets snippets of code that are delicious. His talks are really useful, too. Specifically, the one entitled 'Beyond PEP8' which focuses you on the impact you can have by zooming out of details and concentrate on good design.
This is something I've been using. I write code that uses a yet to be API, and ask myself and colleagues if it makes sense for them to use it.
For example, I'm writing a Python wrapper for MinIO's admin command line interfaces 'mc' and 'minio' which the Python client lacks. Put up the docs first at https://big-mama-tech.gitlab.io/bmc and asked colleagues and the MinIO folks if it's acceptable/useful before really going for parity.

#6It's a different kind of watching, but you can find saved streams from geohotz / comma.ai. Those contain things like learning about blockchain contracts and finding a security bug in one of them in a very informal 8h live stream. Or building a toy computer vision project from scratch for a recorded dashboard footage. https://youtu.be/7Hlb8YX2-W8
It's an experience... Try watching at higher speed when it gets boring.

#8TheCherno - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChernoProject/videos
It's run by an ex EA software developer. However, his videos are mostly about C++ and game engine development. I'm not a game developer but I found his explanations of advanced C++ topics quite good.

#9Ben Eater’s 6502 programming videos are great.

Andrew is making a systems programming language; Zig. But he also does dwell on other general systems programming issues that are language agnostic
