Destroy All Software screencasts by Gary Bernhardt has some great content. Besides the typical CS degree, I felt that these videos were most pivotal in writing better code.

These screencasts had such an impact on me that they inspired me to have a go at making my own set of screencasts aimed at non-beginners (a rarity with programming videos)

My guiding principles when recording my (now over 25) videos are:

- prefer timeless technologies (e.g. unix, testing, C) over fad frameworks

— focus on trade-offs — every idea in CS has a cost

— don't be afraid to peel off one layer of the stack

— set everything in real production code rather than in toy examples

- emphasize actual workflows (showcasing vim and bash and all the associated keyboard shortcuts)
