Well, truth is, you need to code something "mainstream" to make it even worth it. (read as: have at least like 2 people watching or even just visit your channel once, not including yourself ...) Program some "Unity game prototype", some Java or JavaScript web dev, frontend or backend, put in buzzwords like Postgres and NodeJS and what else is relevant to people right now. You know, Twitch has a specific target audience after all. No one is gonna come for some bootloader programming on a STM32F0 (no vector table offset register after all!) or integration of a secure element from NXP including some crypto basics about ECC because people simply don't care there. There was a twitch-like platform for live coding once, but obviously it flopped.

>There was a twitch-like platform for live coding once, but obviously it flopped. I went searching for that exact site and couldn't find it (or maybe I did but regardless it was dead). I actually used it for about 5 maybe 10 minutes once upon a time because I thought the concept was cool. Watch me create a SaaS service on the fly. 3 minutes into it, I'm realizing I'm about to type in public IP addresses, log into secret management systems, pull data out of a CMDB which gives up a bunch of my internal system data... So I thought to only share a single monitor and use my second monitor for privacy related tasks. But then people can't see what I am doing and for long periods of time while i'm gathering CMDB data, no one sees any coding going on. At the end of the 10 minutes, I had about 12 viewers so I'm sure if I was doing somethign worthwhile it would increase a decent clip.. But live coding without planning is a security nightmare. Someone I knew once live coded their programming "homework" for a position they applied to and then shared their coding session with the interviewers. That takes the cake. He was hired on the spot, probably because he wasn't afraid to show his mistakes.
