Software (other) Videos Recommended on Hacker News (36)
Software (other) is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 36 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 75 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Other software engineering topics that do not fit the categories above: miscellaneous programming talks, parody and humor about programming, general developer commentary.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on The Problem with Time & Timezones - Computerphile: “a must watch for developers just starting out with Timezones” — an HN commenter, 2021.
