If you think watching someone do a live coding demo is boring, you are probably not the target audience (and I would guess you may be in entirely the wrong field if you are a programmer who thinks programming is boring).
Imagine a painter saying that another painter showing a specific 'new' technique that they developed is 'boring' and they should 'just talk about painting, don't show us anything'.
I would imagine the author of this blog post is the sort of person that sat in the back of Chemistry class, and after seeing the teacher do an experiment asked "is this going to be on the test?"
- lgas 11y agoIn general I'm of the same mindset as you, but to be fair it's not exactly an apples to apples situation. Painters demonstrating a new technique are far less likely to get bogged down trying to figure out why the wrong colors are coming out of their brush or why some strokes don't show any color at all, why their canvas is crashing, etc.
