I think the appeal is the same for watching any other high performance. Specifically, it can be entertaining to see how others do things, and there is potential for you to pick up some useful knowledge in the form of a problem solving technique, or maybe a workflow you haven’t considered.
But you can do that by reading code of Open Source projects, which is more effective IMO.
Development ideas and methodologies like that don't appear in code.
I would love to stream as I program, but I'm too afraid of accidentally showing a password or API key or something and pwning myself.
Genuine question: What is the appeal of watching live coding? Who watches these? I'm watching code all day long, arguing about it, understanding it on my workplace, if I get home, there is no way I want to watch another guy live coding. Maybe doing my own thing when I'm free and not tied to a gazillion rules of how to do things.
Adam keeps a really well organized programmers' log and todo list, and I've incorporated that into my own daily work.
anyone know what happened to livecoding.tv?
They rebranded to https://www.liveedu.tv/ and made a lot of product changes that make it unusable. They used to have a good community going, I streamed there for a little while but everyone seems to shift to Twitch/Youtube.

The first is more effective but the second is easier and more entertaining.
If they're literally all on Twitch, why would I use this site instead of just searching for software devs via Twitch directly?
