What are your favorite developer channels?
Why do you subscribe to them?
Do you have a favourite type of content? eg career advice, tutorials, rants.
I'm building my channel and want to make sure I'm creating content people will enjoy.
I would love to hear your thoughts? 🤔

I used to watch channels of Kaushik (JavaBrains) and Nelson (Amigoscode) to learn the basics of Java and Spring. I also watch codevolution to learn some frontend too. I also follow fireship and Hithesh Chowdary for general dev videos
I love fireship.io!
Trying to do something similar with my own channel :)
Probably I'm old-fashioned but I still prefer to read an article or a blog post rather than to watch a YouTube video, especially when it comes to programming. I understand that some topics like graphics (learning Photoshop, 3D modelling, filmmaking etc.) are better explained on video, but IMHO programming is not.
They say young people have short attention span so they cannot read long text, only watch short clips, but I feel like it works in the opposite way - I'm too impatient to spend time watching "if you like it please click Subscribe button" and similar buzz. I prefer to skim over text and read what looks interesting to me.
I tend to like to release my videos as blog posts too for that reason 💜
For me it depends on what I'm looking for and watching it for.
I myself really enjoy videos that really show the entire development process for something. Pretty much watching someone build something live. I enjoy seeing what an actually developer goes through when developing something, instead of just the "ok, type this in, and type this in and you get this." Too me that feels too "fake" cause development is not perfect. You're not going to develop something perfectly in actuality.
Oh yeah streams are nice for real world things. I tend to focus on teaching the happy paths mostly but something I should think about 🤔
Whatever video is the shortest for the content I'm looking for. I'm not a 4 year old who needs to know how to declare a variable everytime you declare one.
In fairness, when you need to learn something fast, these channels are 🔥🔥🔥
coding garden with CJ
That's a new one, cheers!
I will recommend youtube.com/channel/UCjIWGiDvEfqa5... for web server configuration tutorials
That's something I haven't looked at before, nice pick!
I enjoy watching the occasional snippets of Jonathan Blow streams. He live streams his development on his new language Jai fairly occasionally, and discusses language/compiler design. It's primarily geared towards game development, which isn't my forte, but you can still glean useful information from it nonetheless.
Here's a stream he did on the discussion of building language parsers [1], with a followup Q&A here [2]

That's someone new that was off my radar totally so thanks for sharing. 💜
Here's my pick for them
1) Chris Hawkes
2) Brad Traversy
3) CodingTech
4) Stefan Mischook
5) Joshua Fluke
6) DesignCourse
Some awesome people in this list!
