I've heard conversations that this same idea would probably help in every profession. And a couple Mormon developers I know, think that the concept of a personal Holy Ghost, which is a belief of the Ladder Day Saints church is the same kind of assistant for moral decision making. We all perform differently when we know someone is paying attention.
I think you meant Latter Day Saints. If there are any Ladder Day saints (supposedly there is a Ladder Day[1]) I'm guessing that Mormons wouldn't hold as much reverence for them, what with the alcohol involved. [1] https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ladder%20Day
Oh man... I won't be editing the typo so that I can be properly shamed.

Maybe, I've been in the tech industry over 15 years professionally (excluding geeky childhood of course), and the second monitor for coding or any type of tech business was a blessing once it became affordable for most people. I just cannot imagine not having a 3rd right now. Keepass (or another offline pass manager), Skype, multiple shells open, ftp manager, notepad (or whatever you call it for coding), browser, som…
> I can't even imagine not having a numpad like she doesn't have. My wrist pain got better when I ditched my number pad. Lots of people have reported the same. I also use 1 monitor, I use to use a lot, now my main monitor at home is an ultra wide. It provides less real estate than 2 monitors, it is about 1.5 monitors in width, but unlike dual monitor setups there isn't a line in the center of my vision and my main wo…
I am letting what works for them already. I didn't enter her apartment and add another monitor and a numpad to her desk.

#114I commend the author on the level of detail documented in the article. It's clear that they have spent much time and effort on making an appealing stream. And yet I still don't get live coding. I have about as much interest in streaming my programming as I have in having a coworker watching me work over my shoulder: zero. I'd love to know what people get out of this. For me the sacrifice to flow is far too great for…
I agree on both fronts, a well written article but to me the notion of people observing any missed key on the keyboard would only increase the likelihood of me messing up tenfold. Props to those who livestream coding, I don't think I could.
my typing error rate goes up about 500% any time a coworker is watching me type

#115I'm jealous of the aesthetic. It's really nice looking.
Re: My Twitch Live Coding Setup
#116I did live coding on twitch back a year or so ago, for about 2-3 months. It was nice to get a bit of company working from home on my own sabatical (aka. financial dive) year. Overall though I don't think it's worth it. You get the usual lurkers that come say hi, and then a bunch of drop-ins that have language questions, stackoverflow type questions, or start rambling about technological choices which eventually distr…
How did your sabatical turn out? Did you get what you expected out of it? I am starting one right now and wonder if you had one or two words of advice? Your comment made me laugh btw, I am in such a similar position! Best to you.
Shipped an indie game on PS4 to 60 odd countries. Pretty happy with my results. Hardly making any financial sense though, I made more contracting for a month than after a year of royalties.

what do you mean?
After 4 years in a Fortune 100 as a contractor, I was burnt out. I took a year off to jump into indie game development. Eventually I successfully shipped a product on the PS4 store, but to get there was a deep scary dive, with no real net and constant self doubt. It made me appreciate how easy contracting is. Now I'm back from my sabbatical, contracting full time and loving to sip on my latte not worrying about the cheque.

#118I love seeing other devs' workspaces.
Are there any (other) sites collecting posts like this similar to r/battlestations or edc sites for software developers?

> Coding hasn't lent itself well to "liveness". > what project is the person working on? - what "feature" are they working on? - what are they trying to achieve at this very moment? I used to do a bunch of livecoding myself, actually. I agree with you that most programming does not lend itself too well to livecoding. But there is one niche that I believe lends itself extremely well to live coding. This niche being wh…
Dad! I was hoping you would show up on this thread and was actually about to comment about you, whiteboard problems really are perfect for twitch I think, but you're the only one that I've seen do them
Haha, thanks!
