Best python focussed YT coach. Proposes software engineering as a skill rather than a string of videos on the new hot framework (though there is a little of that too, to appease the algo gods)
Actually it varies field to field For
Not specific to "developing software", so to speak, but one I haven't seen mentioned yet is youtube.com/@NeetCode and youtube.com/@NeetCodeIO.
I think there's ~400 well explained Leetcode problems across both channels (correct me if I'm wrong). It's a very valuable source of information!
There are loads to choose from and some do lots of mixed content.
Here are some of my favourites.
FreeCodeCamp
JavaScript Mastery
Programming with Mosh
Travis Media
Skill Foundry
Web Dev Simplified
Traversy Media
Fireship
James Q Quick
Learn with Jason
Design/CSS
Kevin Powell
Python & C++
Tech with Tim
Caleb Curry
Vue/Nuxt
Program with Erik
Svelte/SvelteKit
Huntabyte
Joy of Code
Ben Davis
youtube.com/@francescociulla : for great *interviews **with devs and great tutorials on **docker **and on **API development

I would highly recommend Tsoding. He writes all kinds of stuff in all kinds of languages
For Python Software Design, ArjanCodes is my favourite 🤩
The net ninja for me is one of the best channels of YouTube and my reason for this is that he explains and breaks the concept down well secondly,he doesn't just release 2 hours videos even if it a project based tutorial but rather breaks each concept into a separate videos of about 10 mins which I love so much because it helps me know what exactly am learning at that point and what the focus is on
freeCodeCamp is excellent! Tutorials for almost everything. They feature many other channels in their videos too. Can't recommend them enough!
Fireship has one of the best and precise content.
I have one is edurekaIN. Channel have fundamental knowledge, developer can easy to catch up first step. There have many fundamentals use case, learn from use case is good for developers
This is also worth checking out:

It depends on which one you are comfortable with. I remember it might have been a few days ago when I recommended someone the YouTube channel I liked, but he actually did not like it.
