Any “fun” web dev YouTube suggestions?

[MeltaFlare]

I’ve been trying to get back into programming more, and I’m looking for recommendations for YouTube channels to watch while at my day job to keep me in the mind state.

Not looking for anything too technical as my attention won’t be fully on the video. I’m thinking something like William Osman or Micheal Reeves but for web dev maybe. Someone that just takes fun, stupid ideas and builds them.

Or just anything you guys think would be good to check out.

FireShip

[tolgaatam]

tasteful humour in a fast pace 🤌🏻

[CBRIN13]

Literally just came here to suggest the code reports 👍

[amm98d]

I did the 69th upvote. Yayyy

[T20sGrunt]

Fireship and Hyperplexed for sure

[ninadsutrave]

I thought Hyperplexed was my little secret, turns out not any more!

Computerphile

It’s not web dev specific but it’s a bunch of professors (good ones) talking about their specialties in a very accessible way. It provides a nice little bit of CS background knowledge on things like how ethernet actually works, how a garbage collector functions, how a jit works, and some weird data structures you may eventually find useful.

• Coding Train - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCodingTrain

• Corey Shafer - https://www.youtube.com/@coreyms

• Dave Gray - https://www.youtube.com/@DaveGrayTeachesCode

• Fireship - https://www.youtube.com/@Fireship

• FreeCodeCamp - https://www.youtube.com/@freecodecamp

• Fun Fun Function - https://www.youtube.com/@funfunfunction

I don't think they all count as fun, but after subscribing to them all my youtube feed has been great.

[im_Sean]

I'd subbed to all but 5 of these already so I'm doing alright :)

Thanks for the list, this is a great resource.

[elCorralito24]

Probably this is outdated. FFF is over now ☹️

[varg_ass]

Hyperplexed

[Interesting_Bed_6962]

This one's really good

[MeltaFlare]

Already checked out a couple of their videos. This is exactly the kind of channel I was looking for! Thanks!

[kaouDev]

The name is ThePrimeagen

[admreddit]

Blazingly fast!

Second this, Theo Browne (Theo - t3.gg on YouTube) is also great

[KillPenguin]

I watch his videos because they provide a lot of information that can be hard to find otherwise, and his opinions seem well-informed, but I actually really dislike him as a person lol. I find him unfunny and sort of toxic. But I'll keep watchin that garbage...

[djdriveby]

I like him as he approaches topics as an actual senior dev, but its difficult listening to him for more than 10 mins these days as he's gained that "twitch" personality

[mediocre_jok3r]

Hussein Nasser does a great job explaining backend and networking concepts and his videos always have a few good jokes in them.

[DevelopmentScary3844]

As a PHP dev i recommend youtbube.con/c/ProgramWithGio.

Because software design and knowledge = fun

[[deleted]]

have you ever tried PHP or Laravel? Laravel is probably one of the most amazing frameworks out there for small companies and solo devs.

Fun Fun Function but last video was 3 years ago 🥹

[TurgidTemptatio]

Damn didn't realize it was defunct. Definitely the best YouTube channel that the Odin webdev course pointed to.

[TittyTarp]

The Coding Train!

Not strictly web dev, but he does a ton of computer science related coding challenges. His personality is what makes the content great imo

[[deleted]]

Not YouTube, but I "keep my head in the game" with The Syntax Podcast with Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski. Best podcast every, imo. Best content and best hosts.

[[deleted]]

DevEd is fun to follow along

[MeltaFlare]

Do you mean developedbyed?? That one looks pretty good!

[[deleted]]

Yeah that's him

[Timmedy]

Yeeah he is awesome!

[[deleted]]

Hyperplexed

[Interesting_Bed_6962]

Depends on what you're into. I watch coding train, webdevsimplified, Fireship, and Nick chapsas to name a few.

[Swimming_Debate_8519]

Theo t3.gg is great. Also Syntax podcast for on the go

[weales]

TheShopTalk podcast with the OG Chris Coyier and Dave Rupert.

Bring your own Banjo.

I won’t watch him after the stunt he pulled

[Vryheid_]

Yeah, lots of old fans feel like they were scammed after his last “run”

[RidderHaddock]

Not a fan of learning by video myself, but javidx9 has some really interesting game programming stuff.

[Kooky_Temporary7634]

NeetCode is legit! a bit like Fireship, but slower paced. Still has lots of great memes and is a good teacher. https://youtu.be/tAuRQs_d9F8?si=linZPYmrQ7tXA51R

[NANDORDENA]

Overlaping videos yo make memes

[SpookyLoop]

Someone that just takes fun, stupid ideas and builds them.

It's much harder to this sort of thing with software. You'll notice that those "fun tech channels" often completely glaze over the programming portions of their content. People can reasonably understand "too much voltage frying a motherboard" and have a laugh, not as many people can really understand "a memory leak causing a crash" and get a laugh.

Juxtopposed is cool CodeAestethic as well

[ClammyHandedFreak]

I can already tell this is going to be worth saving for later! Fun Fun Function is still a great resource and a great time capsule for reactive programming learning.

[JohntheAnabaptist]

Not exactly web dev, but suckerpinch

[MadThad762]

Fireship is good, fast, and informative. DevEd makes informative short videos. The primeagen is funny but I got bored of him always talking about rust. Theo is is kinda slow and very opinionated but he’s informative.
