AI Community
A short, opinionated list of YouTube creators worth following if you work with AI tools day-to-day. Not exhaustive, not endorsements — starting points for keeping current on practice and discourse beyond the official docs.
@pragmaticengineer — Gergely Orosz
Software engineering at Big Tech and startups, from the inside. Long-form interviews with experienced engineers and tech leaders on engineering practices, career growth, and how AI is reshaping the craft. Recent guests include the Claude Code creator, Steve Yegge on AI proficiency levels, and Mitchell Hashimoto on AI agents in his workflow. Engineering-leadership and industry-analysis lens, not hands-on tutorials.
@ThePrimeTimeagen — ThePrimeagen (Michael Paulson)
Ex-Netflix engineer. Reaction-style commentary on tech articles, programming trends, and AI developments. Unfiltered takes on engineering culture, new tools, programming languages, and whether AI is actually changing how we build software. The entertainment-meets-engineering corner of dev YouTube.
@PeterYangYT — Peter Yang
Product lead at Roblox (ex-Reddit, Meta, Twitch). AI tutorials and interviews aimed at product and tech professionals. Covers AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Replit), AI workflows for product managers, and interviews with leaders from Anthropic, Google, and others. Product-management lens on AI adoption. Also writes the Behind the Craft newsletter.
@NateBJones — Nate B. Jones
Daily AI news and strategy commentary. Former product leader, now full-time AI analyst. Breaks down AI developments through a business and implementation lens — what matters for people building careers and products with AI. Covers enterprise adoption, Claude Code updates, agent implementation. Practical and opinionated, not hype-driven.
@indydevdan — IndyDevDan (Dan Disler)
Senior engineer focused on agentic AI coding. Hands-on content on building with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Aider, Cursor), autonomous coding loops, agent orchestration, and prompt engineering. Runs the Agentic Engineer site and courses (Principled AI Coding, Tactical Agentic Coding). The most technically deep and practitioner-focused channel on this list — closest to what an Agronod engineer shipping with AI actually does day-to-day.
@WesRoth — Wes Roth
AI news and emerging tech with broad scope: model releases, robotics, AGI speculation, self-driving, brain-computer interfaces. Covers the bigger picture and societal implications alongside product news. Co-hosts the AI Pod podcast with Dylan Curious, interviewing researchers and builders. Useful for staying on top of the wider AI landscape beyond dev tooling.
@RAmjad — Amjad Masad
CEO and founder of Replit. First-party perspective from someone building one of the major AI coding platforms (34M+ users). Content covers Replit product demos, the future of software creation, vibe coding, and AI agents in development. Ex-Facebook (JavaScript infra), ex-Codecademy founding engineer.
@RayFernando1337 — Ray Fernando
12-year ex-Apple engineer, now building AI apps live on stream. Hands-on, ship-it-now approach — live-builds apps, shares Cursor rules and LLM workflows, mentors developers through AI coding. Practitioner-focused with an emphasis on actually shipping. Also streams on Twitch and X.
