Ask HN: Favorite live coding channels for intermediate/advanced topics?
I've found watching someone else code is immensely helpful and I was looking for more content like this. I saw some recommended in a different thread, so I thought I'd ask the broader audience.
Most of the content I see is aimed towards beginners so I was looking for context for experienced developers.
- arduinomancer 5y agoThe SerenityOS guy has some interesting stuff, although not directly in an instructional format https://youtu.be/ZOzZ8R4gphE https://youtu.be/ZOzZ8R4gphE
- mahalol 5y agoHey, thanks for posting this video. I am in awe watching him move so fast.
- yes_but_no 5y agoYuri Artyukh, mostly threejs, webgl stuff https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDo7RTzizoOdPjY8A-xDR7g https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDo7RTzizoOdPjY8A-xDR7g , although I'm not experienced enough to judge if its actually intermediate. Jon Gjengset, Rust (internals, data structure, protocol impls) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_iD0xppBwwsrM9DegC5cQQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_iD0xppBwwsrM9DegC5cQQ aarthifical, not really live-coding but a game devlog with interesting ideas https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtEwVJZABCd0tels2KIpKGQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtEwVJZABCd0tels2KIpKGQ
- vagrantJin 5y agoYuri is definitely not beginner stuff. Intermediate to advanced I'd say.
- peterkos 5y ago+1 to Jon Gjengset; I learned a lot about clearly explaining programming concepts and a theoretical problem!
- alongub 5y agoNot exactly a channel, but a few weeks ago I did a live coding session on how to build an ML platform from scratch (the stuff you need to get ML models to production): https://youtu.be/s8Jj9gzQ3xA https://youtu.be/s8Jj9gzQ3xA
- anand-bala 5y agoI personally love watching the live coding sessions by Andrew Kelly, creator of Zig, regarding progress with the language/compiler. Archived videos available on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/showcase/7818787 https://vimeo.com/showcase/7818787
- allenleein 5y agoGeorge Hotz archive (hacking, ML): https://www.youtube.com/c/georgehotzarchive/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/georgehotzarchive/videos
- 0j 5y agoSentdex for anything python related https://youtube.com/c/sentdex https://youtube.com/c/sentdex
- mejutoco 5y agoI do something like this, although not live. These are real intermediate projects on video, with code. Without omitting any step. So far I have a course on publishing a pip package and a cron implemented with aws lambda. https://fromzerotofullstack.com/ https://fromzerotofullstack.com/
- gingerlime 5y agocurious to check it out. Plugging cronyo[0] a CLI for AWS cron jobs :) would love your feedback. [0] https://github.com/cronyo/cronyo https://github.com/cronyo/cronyo
- hobabaObama 5y agowow... thanks for sharing.... is it all free... sorry could not find pricing info...
- mejutoco 5y agoSo far it is all completely free. You can create an account to bookmark courses, etc
- citeguised 5y agoThere‘s Jon Blow working on his new language JAI and game-dev: https://twitch.tv/j_blow https://twitch.tv/j_blow Another channel is Casey Muratori‘s Handmade Hero, which is about developing a game from scratch. https://twitch.tv/handmade_hero https://twitch.tv/handmade_hero https://handmadehero.org/ https://handmadehero.org/
- vagrantJin 5y agoCasey is still going? My god...
- pests 5y agoI said the same thing last year... I scroll thru some of his updates mostly just trying to see the state of the game. Honestly I don't think much has changed gameplay or graphics wise for many hundreds of episodes.
- rzzzt 5y agoOneLoneCoder has videos on different topics you may find interesting (gamedev, emulation, C++ quirks, algorithms): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-yuWVUplUJZvieEligKBkA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-yuWVUplUJZvieEligKBkA
- e19293001 5y agoI like the reinforcement learning tutorials but his channel is for machine learning in general Machine Learning with Phil https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC58v9cLitc8VaCjrcKyAbrw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC58v9cLitc8VaCjrcKyAbrw
- melse 5y ago"marcan" (creator of Asahi Linux https://asahilinux.org/ https://asahilinux.org/) live codes on YouTube https://youtube.com/c/marcan42 https://youtube.com/c/marcan42 - they're pretty long videos but super interesting if you're into that kind of thing
- andrewf 5y agohttps://www.youtube.com/user/hjalfi/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/hjalfi/videos has gems like: Hjalfi writes a vi for CP/M (9 hours) Hjalfi writes an assembler (7 hours) Hjalfi ports Fuzix to the ESP8266 (38 hours)
- ellipsis_12 5y agoYou forgot the best one: Hjalfi writes a lunar lander game for the Apollo Lunar Lander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHDkWppysQI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHDkWppysQI (9 hours) Very highly recommended even if it doesn't seem like your cup of tea based on the title. It goes quite deep into the practical aspects of the crazy architecture of the Apolo Lunar Lander Guidance Computer.
- 5mixer 5y agojavidx9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XmxKPJDGU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XmxKPJDGU0 Bisqwit: https://youtu.be/PahbNFypubE?t=1045 https://youtu.be/PahbNFypubE?t=1045 Intermediate C++ videos, often with some angle towards graphics or emulation.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoBisqwit is remarkable. He’d be paid handsomely at a trading firm if he was in America or London or HKG, but instead he worked as a bus driver while making videos.
- lmiller1990 5y agoNot truly advanced compared to some of the content posted here but I try to post videos about Vue.js and topics no-one else really talks about (mainly around testing): https://www.youtube.com/c/LachlanMiller/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/LachlanMiller/videos
- mstipetic 5y agoThis is great, thanks for the effort! I don't understand why the youtube algorithm never finds something like this, it's always the beginner stuff that surfaces to the top
- Aditya_Garg 5y agoBeginner stuff has 2 main advantages 1. More demand 2. Easier to make
- tautvidas 5y agoGamozo focuses on security and optimization topics. While his content is not structured as a tutorial, he explains his line of thinking very well. https://www.youtube.com/user/gamozolabs/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/gamozolabs/videos https://www.twitch.tv/gamozo https://www.twitch.tv/gamozo
- yNeolh 5y agoThis, love his channel, although he is not very active, but when he is active the project is often really interesting and can go for 10 or 12 hours straight.
- xder 5y agoAntoine Zanuttini (https://youtube.com/c/AntoineZanuttini https://youtube.com/c/AntoineZanuttini) has a playlist with live shaders programming
- petepete 5y agoOk so totally not coding but I find Wintergatan's approach to engineering has certain parallels. Plenty of testing, building for reliability and whittling down to the simplest, most-elegant solution possible. https://youtu.be/U4B0i0VzXuA https://youtu.be/U4B0i0VzXuA
- yewenjie 5y agoWhat are the best places for finding high-quality learning material for arbitrary programming topics anyway? Like how does one quickly cut through the beginner stuff and get to the high-quality content?
- pksebben 5y agothe awesome lists are a good place to find this stuff, frequently. just Google "awesome x site:GitHub.com" where x= {language, protocol, framework, design goal} and see what pops up.
- olingern 5y agoI really like Nic Jackson’s Go series https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmD8u-IFdreyh6EUfevBcbiuCKzFk0EW_ https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmD8u-IFdreyh6EUfevBcbi...

- gitgud 5y agoThe "coding train" youtube channel is actually very interesting. He works on a wide variety of projects and shows how he thinks and solves problems. https://youtube.com/c/TheCodingTrain https://youtube.com/c/TheCodingTrain
