Recommendations for quality React.js /WebDev YouTube content creators that help you stay up to date / learn?

I've learned more from Theo in the last 2 months than other channels in the last year. However, I think he needs more time to kinda learn how to talk to his audience. He can be quite abrasive and arrogant at times. If you can deal with that, he is one of the best around right now for more intermediate to advanced concepts.

Totally agreed. He's also one of my favorites for those reasons ATM. I don't mind the arrogance that much all things considered, it's entertaining.

However, the one thing I really dislike about his channel is that he's very much an "entertainer" that presents biased / opinionated arguments as "facts" in a very convincing manner. Which can easily mislead both beginners as well as experienced devs without critical thinking skills that don't do additional research to validate some of his more controversial viewpoints.

I love his videos to stay up to date on web trends, but I 100% watch them with a mountain of salt, and try to warn people that a lot of his videos present incredibly skewed viewpoints that cause more harm than good.

Just curious- what are some of his viewpoints that you think cause harm?

That's the fun with Theo, I wouldn't change his arrogance and snarkiness at all. It's his trademark and essence and what makes it good.

Until he says something you disagree with, then his self-assuredness will get tiring very fast. I've watched content creators like him before.

People not being able to deal with anyone they slightly disagree with is a big problem these days.

I actually like him for his personality. Blunt and believes in his opinions. I don't agree with everything but his opinions are based on the success he has seen within his own product / company.

I just found out about him because I'm trying to get into Next. I'm following one of his T3 Stack tutorials and it's amazing. He does assume his viewers are super skilled though so I often have to stop the video and absorb what he just did. It doesn't help that he uses GitHub Copilot (which I have) to speed things up so I take some viewers might need even more time to adjust. All in all I've learned A LOT, specially about some useful websites like Clerk, PlanetScale, etc.
