On “Immutable by default”
This is actually a nice video on it. It discusses the cases where mutability is needed.

On “Values and immutability”
Well, I'm not one to get in front of a camera myself, but I'm also not sure we need _yet another_ video on immutability.
Not only is the topic covered extensively in other formats, there are several decent videos already on immutability, but which go into better detail.
For example, here is a Computerphile video on the topic: link to this video
Even if you feel their video was too mathy or abstract (though I think it was rather straightforward), there are many, many other videos with different approaches.
This video, for example: link to this video
It takes a rather hands-on approach, literally showing immutability in the code (with coding examples).
All of these, I feel, are better and go into more dep…
