I'm starting to enjoy programmers streaming their coding sessions on Twich / YouTube.

There's a lot you can learn from watching someone working on a piece of source code, voicing their entire thought process.

My personal favorites so far are "Fun Fun Function" and "JustForFunc". If you already discovered interesting channels, please share them with me!

@fribbledom a friend of mine switched from streaming games on Twitch to streaming learning to code from scratch, she had no prior experience to my knowledge, it was really interesting to watch!

@Cat That sounds awesome!? Mind sharing the link with us?

@fribbledom
I like watching LiveOverflow altho he's a bit more into exploits and hacking

@fribbledom You can watch Handmade Hero if you're interested in game programming.

@kitsune

A quick glance at the video titles: oh hells yeah! This is _exactly_ the kind of content I'm looking for.

Thanks for sharing!

Please, if you like this toot, don't just favorite it, boost it!

In return I promise I'll collect all the replies, pick the cherries, categorize the lot... and toot about it for everyone to enjoy!

Deal? 👍

@Luna I've been collecting all your recommendations, but to identify the cherries I obviously need to watch a bit of content from all of those channels first.

It's coming, promised!

@fribbledom
I knew coding in Livestreams were somewhat of a thing, but I never took the time to look at a video.
But I can imagine that viewer and streamer/youtuber can learn something by doing that

@fribbledom Ohh Lord I would be so scared to stream my cooking sessions

@reibeatall I absolutely related to that though... 😂 Jeez, would I be embarrassed having the Internet watch me cooking...

@fribbledom I LOVEEEEE cooking. I cater small events and parties and so much stuff. I wouldn't mind if people watched me cook.

@fribbledom Campoy is really helpful. Taught me the basics of unit testing in Go

@fribbledom my friend is a fan of Jonathan Blow and his streams, he pretty much learnt better C coding from Jon's C++ (because pretty much the only parts of ++ Jon uses are, if I remember, namespaces and allocation by new) than from our uni class

@Michcioperz

Hah, yeah, Jonathan is quite the character, isn't he?

@fribbledom yeah, I'm not into video, but I like hearing about his programming language from time to time

@fribbledom did you come across some python or JavaScript Learners? :3

@syndikalista Check out "Fun Fun Function" on YouTube, mpj does a lot of things with JavaScript!

@fribbledom There is a series of assembler tutorials for Amiga OS in that style I suppose. Not quite the same. My thought process while coding is a bit of a stack and branch, often going off on a tangent. I guess a lot of programmers think this way. A bit chaotic and disorganised but getting the job done.

@fribbledom I know FunFunFunction! He's great! I don't enjoy js, but I do enjoy mpj :)

@fribbledom wish there were more programming livestreams

@fribbledom I sometimes enjoy to watch anything tagged as #WatchPeopleCode. The tag is used on reddit/twitter/youtube/etc. One can see what is the setup of people's editors, how they are using the editor, what's the workflow, what is their method of solving problems, and stuff like that.

Once I wanted to do something similar myself, but then I've noticed sometimes I just stare blankly at the screen and do nothing ;P, that wouldn't be very interesting ;).
