I think this is an unfair characterization, there are some REALLY good programmers, some new programmers, and people at all stages of their programming journey.

I think this is an unfair characterization, there are some REALLY good programmers, some new programmers, and people at all stages of their programming journey. A lot are doing game programming, I'm less interested in this, but some are very interesting. For instance... https://www.twitch.tv/jessicamak https://www.twitch.tv/jessicamak Really interesting what she does, and an insane attention to detail. A HNer I watch when he codes... he does an interesting mix of stuff and has 30+ years of experience https://www.twitch.tv/nybblesio https://www.twitch.tv/nybblesio there's people coding games with robotic bananas https://www.twitch.tv/uselessduckcompany/videos/all https://www.twitch.tv/uselessduckcompany/videos/all .NET devs https://www.twitch.tv/csharpfritz https://www.twitch.tv/csharpfritz who also has coding streams with Microsoft Devs and numerous others doing embedded development, web development, backend dev, security, crypto, Rust, Lisp, C++, F#, Vimers, IDEers, VSCoders, Emacers.... all sorts. who

My comment was based on random visits to /programming and checking out what people were doing. I didn't know of the streamers you mentioned, but I'd be sure to check them out. Looking forward to being wrong on this.

I was basically introduced to Twitch by Handmade Hero, and Casey (the host) seems to have brought a bunch of his contemporaries in as well. Handmade Hero: Complete game from scratch (nothing but platform libraries). Has spawned a number of small projects, like 4coder (https://4coder.itch.io/4coder https://4coder.itch.io/4coder) and Milton (https://github.com/serge-rgb/milton https://github.com/serge-rgb/milton) and a lot more: http://handmade.network/ http://handmade.network/ https://handmadehero.org/ https://handmadehero.org/ Bitwise: Complete hardware/software stack for a RISC-V computer from scratch (compiler, assembler, ...) https://github.com/pervognsen/bitwise https://github.com/pervognsen/bitwise Sean Barrett: He's the author of the excellent stb header-only libraries, does the occasional live coding video. https://www.twitch.tv/nothings2 https://www.twitch.tv/nothings2 https://www.youtube.com/user/silverspaceship/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/silverspaceship/videos Jonathan Blow: He's the game developer and designer behind Braid and The Witness. He's designing a programming language (JAI), works on that and shows off features, as well as doing game development, on his channel. (And occasionally playing games.) https://www.twitch.tv/naysayer88 https://www.twitch.tv/naysayer88 with no schedule VODs: https://www.youtube.com/user/jblow888/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/jblow888/videos Martin "quill18" Glaude: He's primarily a game streamer, but also a consistent Ludum Dare participant, with some high placement in many of them. He has a series of programming videos. https://www.twitch.tv/quill18 https://www.twitch.tv/quill18 Vods: https://www.youtube.com/user/quill18creates/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/quill18creates/videos They have different approaches, but mostly ignore the chat during the stream, but often the chat has very bright folks who can help out.
