A YouTube video playlist by Jenkov covering concurrency concepts such as threads, synchronization, and the memory model underlying parallel code.
One commenter suggests it as the course to watch first for anyone seriously interested in concurrency, pointing to it as a grounding resource.

Exactly, reading TFA and its prequel, can't shake the feeling that the author doesn't really understand concurrency.
The main purpose of synchronization is creating happens-before (memory/cache coherence) relationships between lines of code that aren't in the same program order. Go channels are just syntactic sugar for creating these happens-before relationships. Problems such as deadlocks and races (at least in the way that TFA calls them out) are irreducible complexity if you're executing two sequences of logical instructions in parallel. If you're passing data in whatever way, there is no isolation between those two sequences. All you can enforce is degrees of discipline.
It's typical AI slop. I'd recommend for the author (or anyone else) to watch Jenkov's course[1] first if they have an honest interest in the topic.
