This seems like a a great idea and a lot of fun. Something I would personally participate in on both the watching and the streaming side. The only concern I think I would have is that of API key / password exposure. It would be up to the developer to be very careful not to accidentally switch to a config file in their editor or whatever.
- swirlycheetah 12y agoIt's great to hear people want to stream! The sensitive information issue is certainly a valid concern and something I'd be worried about personally too when streaming. I'm not sure how we'd solve this in the long term, initially though it'd probably just be down to streamer education.
- thegenius 12y agoIt's a problem that Github suffers from. The thing is, it's easier to educate people about .gitignore and .hgignore, and those are both more effective at blocking out sensitive files than accidentally switching over an editor tab with a yaml or whatever. The risks become compounded when you consider that people will record the sessions and make them part of the public record. I might be overreacting, but it might be something to think about.
- swirlycheetah 12y agoNo I don't think it's overreacting at all, I've got this listed as a reason people may not want to stream. If I could solve the problem then it'd be one less barrier. Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated.
