I would be so paranoid of leaking information if I had to do twitch live coding. For example how do you handle copying and pasting api secrets? Or just pure privacy stuff like not showing other domains you own in namecheap (which he doesn't seem to care about in: https://youtu.be/Tq1uoC-lxy8?t=528 https://youtu.be/Tq1uoC-lxy8?t=528)

Presumably you'd use a 2nd monitor that isn't broadcasting for anything sensitive.

I don't have direct experience with this but I do know that OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) lets you control exactly what is shown on the stream. One of the options is showing a completely different "scene" replacing your screen with a static image/text.

I'm the writer of the post and yes I did expose my Google API keys actually! I didn't notice until they told me on Twitch chat. Had to revoke them quickly :0 The worst that could happen is that people see I watch porn. But everyone does, I wouldn't be that embarassed. Slightly blushing though. I don't have much sensitive data on my laptop. I mean passwords are blocked off. So what can people see? OBS (the streaming app) does let you limit the window to stream. I did use Incognito for most of the streams. I did also make a separate Twitch login on my OSX but it was such a pain to re-login to stream that I never used it. There's definitely a risk here but yeah it's a trade off.

  Funny, I'd say my Google API keys are a way, way, way bigger secret than the fact that I sometimes watch porn. Most people do, so it's not a big surprise that I might. I wouldn't much care if people saw me naked. It's just my flesh. Everyone has a body. It's easy to find pictures of naked bodies, and pictures of mine probably wouldn't be very interesting. But my API keys, they are unique and important. That said, for random private-ish accounts I use Chrome user profiles. Safari does not have them. Are you American?

      Yes, I'm Dutch. But yes, I can't say I'm much embarrassed about much anymore. Being transparent on the internet helps with that :)

I would have the same concern. I've done some contacting with zoom meetings for peer coding sessions, planning, brainstorming, etc. involved. I'm always perceptive to little things like other clients someone is involved with based on open browser tabs, database names, project folder names, contacts and the like. Fortunately I have a good relationship and high degree of trust with the other parties, but the more money gets involved the more those small leaks of information become important. Dashboards and user views of most applications are not deigned with the idea of hiding certain information from someone who might be sharing your screen.
