I'm always amazed how well Brian Kernighan can explain things. I love the episodes on the Computerphile youtube channel with him.

Recently I discovered the AT&T history channel, with this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc4ROCJYbm0

There is a massive difference in appearance and clarity between him and the other people appearing in that video, even the "presenter"...

I go back to this video every once in a while ever since I discovered it a few years ago. I just think it is super relaxing. When I first watched it, I was beginning to use Linux and, when I opened my terminal emulator, I was like: "It's a Unix system, I know this!" The pipelines explanation was incredibly clear.

I also love the Computerphile episodes with professor Kernighan.
