I agree with all of theses channels.
This is my 2 cents...

GOTO conferences

Just because they talk about programming and everythings which got a link with this topic.

In an another style, tensor programming YT channel is just awesome, he goes live sometimes, and the amount of work he put in his content is just incredible. Go, Rust, Clojure, Elm, Flutter w/ Dart even ReasonML !

And the content of GoRails and ElixirCasts freely accessible on YT worth it too ... if you're an Elixir or Ruby dev obviously

Traversy Media is most definitely number one, without him I wouldn't be coding.
Another great teacher is Mosh Hamedani @ youtube.com/user/programmingwithmosh

Traversy Media is a good one. I was struggling with advanced Javascript concepts last year, and running his videos in the backgrounds helped them to click for me.

I definitely think Dev Ed is worth checking out too, particularly with design in mind.
