What are some of your recommendations for books, videos, podcasts, or any other media that inspire and spark more passion for programming and computer science in general? I'm interested in hearing how these resources have helped you grow as a programmer.

Two that immediately come to mind are “NAND to Tetris” and “Crafting Interpeters”. Both are free and excellent.

Tangentially related (heavy emphasis on tangentially) are the Zachtronics games. They're (mostly) programming puzzle games. While you don't necessarily learn anything practical since they're fake languages I still think it can be a good introduction to assembly (if you've never done it before) as well as giving you experience with learning a new language. (The games often come with PDF manuals as opposed to having tutorials.)
