Thank you for your input here, it’s great to get some more data points!
For Eric Normand I think it can be a bit hit or miss. Some of them I find to be meh, but others I really love. Two that I’ve watched recently that I’ve loved were How is Haskell faster than C? and The Early History of Smalltalk. The former opened my eyes to a perspective on how to think about how “fast” a language is. The latter I really appreciated because he distilled a paper that I am interested in but otherwise would never have been able to parse. Again, it makes me very sad and confused that such videos only are getting a couple hundred views.
You’re right about Be a Better Dev being very AWS focused. That’s what I had in mind when I chose it as a channel that I like. I started a job somewhat recently where we use AWS stuff, and it’s all new to me because I had never used it before. I’ve spent time googling around for content that explains AWS stuff, and his was a pretty clear winner for me. I check his channel before I read the docs. If you know of something better I’d love to hear about it.
