#2Person behind devv.tv here.
I built this landing page at the end of the last Ludum Dare compo/when Notch began streaming his Doom build.
I'm currently trying to think of ways to attract developers to stream. There seems to be lots of interest in people wanting to watch good quality streams but I feel the challenge lies in providing these good quality streams.
I plan on streaming myself building the MVP in the near future.

Neat! This seems like a really good idea.
I'd recommend focusing on a particular niche of developers who all gather in one place, and who have a strong interest in learning more and watching others code. Game developers would spring to mind but I'm sure there are other even better groups for what you intend.
Then, if you can persuade one or two of the stars of that community to use your platform, you should get a decent amount of starting traction.
Looking forward to seeing how you get on!

#4I love the idea. Something like this will happen soon.
There are some games developers who live stream occasionally on Twitch.tv. The results are generally visual, and feedback quick.
I wonder how much they interact with the viewers / chat. If they can take feedback from and incorporate ideas or fixes.
When I've tried streaming, I've found it hard focusing on the chat side and coding at the same time - it's probably a skill that the best games streamers have - that of paying attention to the viewers, being entertaining, and doing a good job.
The other issue is wondering why I would want to stream myself programming? The first thought was to share with others if they might find it interesting. The second was that as a home worker I might like some virtual company, and the third was that of narcissism. All three thoughts were kind of weak, and I couldn't really come up with a benefit to myself from doing it. Nevertheless I think that there is some future here with such a platform!

#5This 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.

Good luck building something. I am curios where your initiative will end.
Once I saw the title I had a feeling it should be inspired by Notch's stream, which was recently on HN. You also registered your domain about 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for the good luck message. Yup it's certainly all very new right now. I'm having to learn quickly but it's something I'm passionate about and it's been nothing but fun so far.
