Why do you think this? I don't see a pathway for a language model to create binaries directly. Is someone working on this?
I mean the code would be intermediate and not really kept around. Code could be any language llm would choose best depending on requirements.
I know I've seen something like this on hackernews before. SaaS for taking over the IDE at any point of a recording, just without the video. EDIT: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28207662 Seems this but with a slightly different spin? EDIT2: Gave it a go. Works as intended, so good job on that. The video being a video, makes it a bit awkward though - if I stop the recording and edit some part, I'd want to see th…
The difference is that CodeMic records and replays inside your editor, not on the web. Currently, only VSCode is supported, but the output is independent of VSCode, making it easy to bring it to other editors and even the web.
Another difference is that CodeMic is not focused on web development or any particular stack. It's more general.
Coding session these days is someone typing into Claude Code and waiting. I think this would have been a decent idea a few years ago. Humans typing code into an editor is going to be as rare as debugging assembly.
You may very well be right about the future. I won't argue. I just love the art of programming :)
Kudos for actually making it open source. https://github.com/computing-den/CodeMic Wishing you luck for this project!

I do like YouTube video tutorials, but only as long as they're short. Watching Handmade Hero (by Casey Muratori) for example was a little frustrating: the videos are long, the codebase is large, things are moving fast, and I'd get lost.
I often wished I could pause the video to look up the definition of a function, or get an overview of when each file/line was edited and jump straight to that point.
Books/blogs are ok for explaining large codebases that already exist, but not for following a project as the code constantly changes. The book Crafting Interpreters did a really good job there, but that's really rare and hard to do.
I think CodeMic could be useful for this kind of long-form tutorials.

This has huge potential as an education tool. People still have to learn how to code. A person who doesn't cannot achieve shippable products even with Claude code.
Something like this might be a good middle ground (can't interrupt with questions, but can still step through changes). That said, I usually write a script and spin up Loom as the 5 minute limit forces me to keep it tight.

You are living in a fantasy. We are nowhere near this, and engineers who understand fundamentals very well are the ones in demand.

This is a trap. If you don't have control over your code you dont have control over the product. Someone, somewhere in the stack needs to understand how everything works.
