I’m surprised too looking at how many subscribers he has! I don’t think any of his vids have ever been in my feed either… wonder why.
They’re especially good for mainstream stuff like iOS and frontend dev, especially frontend because it is such a fast-moving topic - with new frameworks or libraries appearing every other day for instance there are some that have just come out for Svelte (posted here) - so you end up with fairly recent (up-to-date?) resources.

I rarely have time for videos any more, but I’m a big fan of Bruce Tate at Groxio, who combines interviews, coding in Elixir, and some exposure to other programming languages I otherwise would probably never look into:
Mostly I watch conference talks. For me, German Velasco’s recent one on Phoenix LiveView testing was the most directly relevant and applicable thing I’ve seen all year:
I missed your edit previously Patrick, just spotted it (came back to this because of this thread) and had to say I agree 100%!! Railscasts helped me a HUGE deal when I was learning Rails and Ryan is such a lovely guy. He’s actually the person I credit with the Elixir Forum starting too, because his tweet just tipped me over the edge in doing it!
for instance there are some that have just come out for Svelte (posted 
I wonder if we need a thread for our favourite Dev YouTube vids where we can post them?
