Why Some Developers Are Live-Streaming Their Coding Sessions

Posted by timothy on from the look-at-me-look-at-me dept.

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."

    We need a developer channel where we can watch folks code 24-7. That way when CSPAN becomes too exciting, we can tone it down a little by switching to this new developer channel.

    Sounds like hell.

    No, it sounds like hell on the Internet. I'm sure you could get a patent for that.

    The quantity of profanity spewed would run past most locality's obscenity standards.
