I like low level learning on YouTube a lot but I haven’t been able to find many blogs
-
retoor196824htsoding is great, his main skill is C. He does have some webcontent but in generally he does everything. He wrote a C interpreter using PHP for example :P
-
DarkMukke230924hYou'd have to give more criteria, because "embedded" is an adjective, not a noun. It is not very descriptive ;).

Demolishun3535219h@retoor holy shit, his videos are like 2 to 3 hours long. I skip videos that are longer than 10 minutes it seems anymore. I think I am a goldfish now though.

retoor196814h@Demolishun I almost watched all. That's how you really learn from him. He's full with experience comments. Only what I don't watch is the graphics programming. I prefer the socket stuff although I'm more experienced than him in that regard. His game programming videos is a lot of fun. He wrote a game in C, made wasm from that, hosted it online and every viewer joined that game it was mayhem.

lorentz1530313hFaster than lime - Rust and systems deep dives. Web is often the framing but rarely the main topic
Developer Voices - half web, half langdev, new guest each episode
Two's Complement - Matt Godbolt (of compiler explorer) and Ben Rady talk mostly about project management, code quality and various topics
All three update very very rarely -
When I want to consume "dev" content I tend to exclusively look for talks e.g. CppCon for the same reason, IMO there is nothing interesting web dev related to talk about other than invented problems (e.g. framework X does thing Y bad, so I do Z) or how to use “niche” tech (I invented that's 5 lines of code)
I have found https://www.youtube.com/@javidx9 interesting however -
@BordedDev Well, the web deals with standards so in a sense even HTTP problems are invented, as in they're not inherent to the premise of a networked application.
There are some really interesting problems IMO. For example, large scale application backends deal with massive streams of data that can only be handled with a lot of consideration. There are interesting architectural questions around caching and efficient use of the network, and UI-UX is cool although arguably programming-adjacent.
The endless discussion of frontend frameworks bores me to death too, but since newer frameworks do actually have better features that make development faster with fewer performance and flexibility concessions, I have to think that it's not pointless just not interesting to me. -
@lorentz Sure, computers them self are as well, I really mean misrepresentations or the 5000th video of how to deal with state in react. I don't often see the types of videos you mention recommended by either people or algo. Maybe I shouldn't have said webdev when I was thinking of all the channel shitting out frontend tech videos.
What's the latest in frontend, I haven't really about any since SvelteKit (and Next.js being a shitty copy)? -
@BordedDev I think the latest version of Vue did some interesting things with static analysis and transpilation, but as I said the topic bores me so I only keep up with it on a yearly basis.
The episodes of /dev/voices that aren't about langdev are mostly about those interesting bits of webdev I listed above. The host is a Kafka expert so he likes to invite people from that space.
Any recommendations for blogs or podcasts or YouTubers that don’t only talk about web dev or devops?
I do control and embedded (along with some other stuff) but I feel like all the media I see is web dev or devops/AWS related
question
no web dev pls
