Ask HN: Do you watch developers livestream?

1 pointszcesur2y ago3 comments

What type of content do you enjoy watching, is it mostly live coding or non coding?

Who's your favorite streamer?

Have you tried streaming yourself? What do you like/dislike about it? Any advice for folks who want to get started with streaming?

Videos have extremely low information density as it is, and one where someone is just typing/typoing code for an hour is a huge time sink. I would rather spend the hour reading a chapter or two from a primary source on the matter

I mostly watch talks that talk rather high level about something. Talks with live coding are rather useless for me.

Utility is not the point. Vicarious coding is how 0X programmers justify their paycheck.
