Absolutely. I’ve expressed my idea a few times while trying not to spam HN. I, for one, would be most interested in paying to be able to see how an experienced coder gets a typical project up and running from scratch. Now, I gather most professionals have highly-customized templates, which may involve scripts, special setups and what not, so this may be a pedagogical challenge, but seeing a knowledgeable coder at work, preferably on bite-sized objectives and full of informal comments, would be an absolute plus for me. (I’m sure I’m not alone.)
- derickbailey 15y agoInteresting that you say that... I've often though exactly the opposite on what I want to see. In my experience, a project set up is such an un-common occurrence (it only happens once per project, after all) that there is really nothing special or customized about doing it. When I set up a project, I download and install everything as if I had never done it before. I don't use any special tools or scripts. I just use whatever the framework and plugin system I choose comes with. My intention with this screencast was specifically not to show project setup, but to show the later stages of a project. I find most of the breakdown and slog through code happens after something has been in place for a while, and now needs to change - hence the need for refactoring. ... but, I do have some ideas that would play well in to what you're wanting. I'll definitely keep this in mind as I'm looking at what I'm going to work on next.
