Could you explain it anyway, for those of us that are interested? I've noticed that I enjoy watching youtube videos of other people coding, and I like where you're going by tying watching sports with watching unboxing videos. I've always thought I liked watching coding videos because I secretly wish I could just think about programs and make them happen, instead of having to sit up, type, switch between contexts, etc. Coding videos go straight to the point and quench a specific thirst I have when I don't feel like coding anymore but would still like the high I get from seeing the coding process unfold.

> Could you explain it anyway, for those of us that are interested? Not well, because I don't watch sports. I also don't watch unboxing videos - I just watch videogames, for the reasons I explained above. I'm just sort of assuming that sports are fun, and they're also fun to watch, and a lot easier than spending thousands of dollars and hours of time on equipment. (I also hate watching coding videos - they never go at the pace I prefer. I'd much rather read a blog entry with code inlined that I could copy, paste, play around with, etc.)
