Destroy All Software is absolutely fantastic and without question worth $29/month. Probably more than any other single resource, DAS provided some of the most foundational ideas that still drive how I think about software.

You can also view a handful of the screencasts for free (no sign in needed). Some of my personal favorites.

Also, if podcasts are more your thing, we just had Gary as a guest on the Bike Shed podcast this week: https://www.bikeshed.fm/269.

I was so disappointed when Gary stopped filming these videos that I started making my own screencasts in that style (non-beginner concepts, fast-paced, language agnostic, and terminal-first).

They are on my site here:

I'm not Gary, so the focus is shifted towards areas I have special interests in — namely: the day-to-day of running a software product business as an indie hacker/solopreneur.

Same for me. As a previously solo half-developer, Gary's videos really drove home how to do best-practice development on a real project. He pushed TDD, separating concerns, and really diving into a single line of code and obsessing over getting it right. Thanks Gary! Sad that he's not making them any more, I really enjoyed the "Web framework from scratch" series. He's recently posted a new video about TypeScript types which is also very good: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDzfXZxesMP-LUICN-RWcbQ

He does heavy Black Friday discounts if anyone is considering buying them. Maybe wait a couple of weeks.

Are the videos generally applicable or mainly to Ruby developers?

He covers a wide range of topics. The videos largely use Ruby and Python, but the ideas taught can span across languages. The topics can be found at https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog
