In about the past year I discovered a bunch of creators on youtube who make programming content. These aren't tutorials like the ones that have existed for a long time (I remember being in middle school watching tutorials and closely following them in Eclipse), but ones a little more complicated perse. These aren't instructional, but instead tell a story.

Here's one I just watched. It shows the proccess of making a cool little CSS animation for your mouse cursor. There's also people who make videos reacting to tech twitter or showing off some cool library they found. There's also companies like Planetscale who make SQL optimization videos as a part of their DX experience.

These aren't tutorials, but just let you go on the adventure with the creator and feel good as it gets built. It's very relaxing, because as developers we often code in our free time, but now we can also spend even more of our free time watching someone create some cool code and get inspired by it. Personally, I'm not that great at CSS, but there's many videos of people doing amazing things with CSS.
