Share links to Tacit Knowledge Videos below! Share them frivolously! These videos are uncommon—the bottleneck to the YouTube knowledge transfer revolution is quantity, not quality. I will add the shared videos to the post. Here are the loose rules:
Note: I strongly recommend either changing this post to be a question (so that answers are more easily broken out), or enforcing a standard structure to comments to make the comments-section easy to skim. One of the things that was IMO most important for the success of the Best Textbooks On Every Subject thread were the requirements that each submission compared at least 3 textbooks, and that Luke kept editing the best submissions back into the main post body.
Thank you for the recommendation! I think I agree. I will be editing the comments back into the body, but I think it would be useful for the comments to be more legible.
For those reading this, here is the format I recommend (I’ve since edited this recommendation into the body):
Why: Blow livestreams himself coding games and creating a programming language. I imagine people who do similar things would find his livestreams interesting.
Domain: PCB Design, Electronics Link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySuUZEjARPY Person: Rick Hartley Background: Has worked in electronics since the 60s, senior principal engineer at L-3 Avionics Systems, principal of RHartley Enterprises Why: Rick Hartley is capable of explaining electrical concepts intuitively, and linking them directly to circuit design. He uses a lot of stories and examples visually to describe what’s happening in a circuit. I’m not sure it counts as Tacit Knowledge since this is lecture format, but it includes a bunch of things that you might not know you don’t know, coming into the field. I never “got” how electrical circuits really work before watching this video, despite having been a hobbyist for years.
