I occasionally stream mostly because my office mates like to watch me tinkering with Julia, but I am pretty sure they are just having it in background as some “office noise replacement”. Not sure how fun it is to watch such a stream as I spend most of the time staring at the screen or walking through documentation, feeding the cat, making something to eat etc. 8 hours of streaming ends up in maybe 1-2 hours of real typing scattered all around.
…but it’s fun when people join the stream chat since it happens that they give valuable feedback.
As said, the information density is extremely low and I think lectures or (prepared) tutorials on coding are much more worth the time if one wants to sit back and watch instead of reading PRs, discussions or other code (as Tamas pointed out). The latter is my preference…
Enough said, I recently switched to YouTube and here is one of my recordings. I warn you, it’s extremely boring and on that day I had quite a few interruptions ![]()
(the sound was of most of the time in this stream)
