HACKER Q&A

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

You 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.

For Typescript, Theo (founder of Ping.gg YC W22) is the best.

I’d recommend these two pair programming videos of Andrew Gerrand and Brad Fitzpatrick working on Go related projects.

The obvious answer would be youtube. If you want something more interactive, there might be some on twitch?


👤 prismatix
Definitely 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.

I'm a big fan of Tsoding on YouTube and twitch. He's done a million languages, I assume all those included.

George Hotz streams on twitch occasionally: https://www.twitch.tv/georgehotz

You can usually find VODs of his livecoding sessions on youtube as well. Well worth watching.

Jon Gjengset is the quintessential Rust YouTuber in my mind. Example about building and optimizing a wordle solver: https://youtu.be/doFowk4xj7Q

👤 stuckinhell
I'm interested in Rust or Unity Game Development.

👤 boredmgr
Any recommendations for Common Lisp?
