Would love a channel like Codebullet, but more focused with C# shenanigans that isn't necessarily educational

All the C# channels I've seen have been mostly good or informative, but not exactly something I want to put on at night like I would a Codebullet video to have a good laugh

Does anyone know of any good channels like that?

If you don't mind me asking, if it needs time be entertaining why do you want it to be C# specific?

An attempt at passive learning mostly, at night when I'm winding down I don't have the focus/energy to watch the more actual educational videos, but I still want to learn something if that makes any sense. Admittedly, CB was probably a terrible example as he goes too far on the entertainment side of the spectrum lol.

What I'm looking for is probably closer to Technology Connections type channel rather than CB. Probably asking for a unicorn though LMAO

Very good reasons however I don't think you should just stay within the C# language realm. Software development is much more than that. I'm sure you've heard all of this before.

For just programming in general, I think listening to Primeagen and Theo are the standard recommendations. They read tech articles so you can passively listen. Fireship.io, NeetCode are cool. I like listening to Thor (aka PirateSoftware) for just chill stuff. I'm a former C# dev so I get it sometimes.

Thanks, yea I'm fairly well versed in other areas C# is mostly my current area of focus, but also my current fav language lol thanks for the recommendations!

Ah right, if you're really stuck on there you can do Channel 9? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/this+week+on+channel+9/

but I found them leaning more on the educational

I really miss C#, so many languages feel like they miss the enterprise sheen that C# has.

I'd recommend looking at Twitch streams in the software and game development category. Many of them develop in Unity, which is almost entirely C#.

I really like mercernarymage*. He mostly does gamedev in unity, but he occasionally explains stuff and answers questions. In addition to that, his code is very clean and easy to read, easy enough for me (a non C# dev) to understand it.

*note the spelling. NOT "mercenary".

I know Michael Reeves uses C# for a couple of his projects, but doesn't show much code usually

If anyone visiting this thread has any non-C# but code-bullet like videos, I'm interrested in those too. Never thought about looking for more simillar content, but now that I think about it, I should.
