A look at what I'm into — who I follow, how I work, and what I do when I'm not in front of a screen.
Who I Follow
Creators, engineers, and thinkers I actually watch. Heavy on AI and infrastructure, light on hype.
Theo (t3.gg)
YouTubeOpinionated takes on TypeScript, React, and the modern web stack. Stays close to production reality and doesn't shy away from calling out hype.
Nate Jones
YouTubeAI automation and workflows. Practical, not hype-driven. Good for seeing how AI tooling actually gets applied day-to-day.
MLOps Community
YouTubeML engineering in production. Deep dives on deployment, reliability, model lifecycle, and the operational side of AI that most channels skip.
Matthew Berman
YouTubeComprehensive LLM benchmarks and model reviews. Useful for staying current on what the models can actually do, not just what the press releases say.
IndyDevDan
YouTubeHands-on AI agent development with Claude and other tools. Probably the most practical channel for actually building with agentic AI workflows.
Jack
YouTubeShort, practical AI coding workflow content. Good signal-to-noise ratio for how to use AI tools effectively without the fluff.
Latent Space
YouTubeSwyx and Alessio go deep on AI engineering. Essential for understanding where the field is actually heading, not just the surface-level narrative.
DevOps Toolbox
YouTubeDevOps tooling, Kubernetes, and platform engineering in practice. Covers the operational side of building and running systems at scale.
GamersNexus
YouTubeThe gold standard for PC hardware reviews. Rigorous methodology, independent testing, and no sponsor-driven softballs. What good technical journalism looks like.
