I start off with these masterpieces:
Brian Fitzpatrick and Ben Collins-Sussman (Google I/O 2009): The Myth of the "Genius Programmer"

At Fixt, we have a weekly LunchConf and watch a talk while we eat and then discuss how we can apply the learnings in that talk to our daily work. Here are some of my favorites:
Better Code Reviews by Vaidehi Joshi
Hitchhiker's Guide to All Things Memory in JS by Safia Abdalla
Live As A Developer: My Code Does Not Work Because I Am A Victim Of Complex Societal Factors That Are Beyond My Control.... by James Mickens
That is a good idea! @vaidehijoshi you're famous 😮
🙊
Really cool idea to do that on a weekly basis during lunch!
Just 3? haha ;)
Top 3:
The Clean Code Talks - "Global State and Singletons"
GOTO 2016 • Software, Faster • Dan North
CppCon 2014: Mike Acton "Data-Oriented Design and C++"
Runner ups:
GOTO 2016 • Secure Coding Patterns • Andreas Hallberg
GOTO 2017 • Patterns of Effective Teams • Dan North
The Experimentation Mindset
GOTO 2017 • Debugging Under Fire: Keep your Head when Systems have Lost their Mind • Bryan Cantrill
Tech Talk: Linus Torvalds on Git
Evolutionary Software Architecture
Functional Principles for Object Oriented Development
Architecture vs. Code
GOTO 2016 • Software that Fits in Your Head • Dan North
There are so many good talks.
I choose the following three because they're general enough and I think that adopting the principles they describe could really make the difference
Greg Young - The art of destroying software
Sebastian Markbage: Minimal API Surface Area
Dan North - Software, faster
I have learned so much from so many talks. A couple of my favorites that influenced me regarding functional programming.
On the latter, I originally read the blog posts first. Here and here.
I think Sandi Metz always kills it:
All the Little Things - Sandi Metz
Same with Maciej Ceglowski
Haunted by Data - Maciej Ceglowski
And Scott Hanselman, of course
It's not what you read, it's what you ignore - Scott Hanselman
I picked three speakers that come to mind. I like all their talks so I'm not sure I picked the best ones.
There are many, but let me name the most useful one for me: Greg Young - CQRS and Event Sourcing.
Guy Steele - Growing a Language
