FunFunFunction - discontinued, but still has tons of interesting stuff
ContinuousDelivery - Talks mostly about CD, but lots of other great topics as well
Kent C. Dodds - not really a traditional channel. He does live sessions where he talks about lots of JS related topics.
The 8 Bit Guy - not a programming channel. If you curious how old computers worked, this is very entertaining.

"Their videos are one of the best although I have met many people who dont like Free Code Camp" - that's intriguing, so it's good, but many people don't like it ... what's the reason then for the dislike?

I'd give Free Code Camp a thumbs up because: "they also have a forum where you can read blogs" ... not everyone likes watching Youtube vids, some people just prefer reading (or am I a hopelessly old-fashioned dinosaur now?)

haha that last line was good, although I also prefer reading blogs, the reason is, I broke my speakers ;-;

Here are my top 3 coding channels

  1. Ben Awad - React tutorials
    Currently updates to his startup (very entertaining if you enjoy dry, sarcastic humor)

  2. The Coding Train - P5.js Visualizations
    Livestreams and videos (which sometimes are cut down livestreams without the debugging). Great explanations also of the underlying logic behind the problems and gives ideas on how to improve or expand the code and encourages you to put your own spin on it. Great community around him as well.

  3. Brackeys - GameDev C#/Unity
    Unfortunately not active anymore but all his old videos will guide you in the right direction if you wanna start building games.

Some bonus channels for entrepreneurship, tips on how to negotiate offers, Design, entertainment (from more serious to less):
Justin Kan (Twitch Co-founder), ClΓ©ment Mihailescu, Pragmatic Engineer, Figma, David R.B., Tren Black, Joma Tech, Michael Reeves, Dani, Codebullet, Randy

Hope I help some of you find some new gems πŸš€
