Ask HN: Where to watch skilled developers writing code and explaining ideas?
In a project context instead of a programming course.
Specific language that I want to learn:
- Java
- Typescript
- Golang
- Rust
- thearrow 4y agoJon Gjengset is the quintessential Rust YouTuber in my mind. Example about building and optimizing a wordle solver: https://youtu.be/doFowk4xj7Q https://youtu.be/doFowk4xj7Q
- otras 4y agoI’d recommend these two pair programming videos of Andrew Gerrand and Brad Fitzpatrick working on Go related projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rZ-JorHJEY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rZ-JorHJEY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG-UaBJXZ80 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG-UaBJXZ80
- boredmgr 4y agoAny recommendations for Common Lisp?
- stuckinhell 4y agoI'm interested in Rust or Unity Game Development.

- hacknewslogin 4y agoThe obvious answer would be youtube. If you want something more interactive, there might be some on twitch?

- r4vik 4y agoAnthony Sottile on twitch is a joy to watch https://www.twitch.tv/anthonywritescode https://www.twitch.tv/anthonywritescode if you like Python
- raffraffraff 4y agoI'm way too uncool to have any experience with twitch. Maybe it's my cell phone signal, but nothing loads. Every video just gives a loading animation. Is it generally slower / less reliable than YouTube?
- r4vik 4y agoyes, it is kind of buggy as it's a live streaming platform first and a video on demand library second. Antony does have a youtube channel so you could try that instead.
- voxic11 4y agoMy favorite https://www.youtube.com/c/MollyRocket/videos https://www.youtube.com/c/MollyRocket/videos
- prismatix 4y agoDefinitely twitch. It's hard to find quality content, and most of it is game development, but I have found one or two channels that I can sit in on and watch for a while. Cmgriffing has a really chill personality and talks to chat a lot, so you're free to ask questions if you don't understand something.

- reducesuffering 4y agoFor Typescript, Theo (founder of Ping.gg YC W22) is the best. https://twitch.tv/theo https://twitch.tv/theo https://m.youtube.com/c/TheoBrowne1017 https://m.youtube.com/c/TheoBrowne1017
- guilherme-puida 4y agoWhile I enjoy his videos, his personality can make content hard to watch sometimes.
- dev_0 4y agoDo all developers learn only from building? I don’t think watching tutorial is useless…….sometimes your work restrict you to know a scope of a language….and watching other videos can expand your mind
- guilherme-puida 4y agoYou didn't mention C++ so this might not be that useful, but I really enjoy Andreas Kling [0] and his work on SerenityOS. Even though I don't use C++ at all, he explains concepts so well that I've been able to learn a lot. He also has some videos using Rust to build the SerenityOS Programming Language, Jakt [1]. The compiler eventually became self-hosted, so more recent videos don't contain Rust code, but earlier ones are a goldmine.

- whatsakandr 4y agoI'm a big fan of Tsoding on YouTube and twitch. He's done a million languages, I assume all those included.
- sdelaney 4y agoGeorge Hotz streams on twitch occasionally: https://www.twitch.tv/georgehotz https://www.twitch.tv/georgehotz You can usually find VODs of his livecoding sessions on youtube as well. Well worth watching.
- ActorNightly 4y agoGeorge Hotz stuff is a little too advanced for learning languages. He doesn't really explain the basic concepts.
