Ask HN: Programming talks that made something click for you?
Hi I am an avid learner and mostly work with JS ecosystem. Throughout my career here and there I have stumbled upon few programming talks from Youtube, which just make something click in my mind and I consider them as things which made the mental models clear in my head.
Do you guys also have something in your mind ?
