Why Some Developers Are Live-Streaming Their Coding Sessions

itwbennett writes Adam Wulf recently spent two weeks live-streaming himself writing every line of code for a new mobile app. He originally started to live-stream as 'a fun way to introduce the code to the community.' But he quickly learned that it helps him to think differently than when he was coding without the camera on. "Usually when I work, so much of my thought process is internal monologue," he said, "but with live streaming I try to narrate my thought process out loud. This has forced me to think through problems a little differently than I otherwise would, which has been really beneficial for me."

... making notes as you go along or whiteboarding , how exactly? Plus stopping and reflecting on what you've done or want to do (even including talking to yourself!) is a standard part of development.

But ooooo , someone did it over a video stream so that must mean its a new and exciting method of development that no one in the history of computing has ever considered before!

Not.
