Ask HN: Where can I watch other developers coding?

#1

Post by junto » Tue, Jun 09, 2015, 11:03 AM UTC

I work primarily in Visual Studio developing websites using ASP.NET. I'd like to try learning nodejs (on Windows).

Are there any sites where developers post videos / screencasts of themselves working, so that you can see how other people code?

It is really valuable to watch other people working. You get to see the tools they use and their workflow.

Any suggestions?

You could try Twitch. Some people stream their coding sessions on there.

Check out Derick Bailey's site for NodeJS:

Shameless plug: after reading about how people like watching people code, I did a series of videos about setting up a microservices F# app in mono.

Watching other people code never did much for me, but it seems like it's quite a thing. For those of you that also don't enjoy watching that much, creating the videos was a hoot. Very interesting how once you start recording things with video how you think differently about stuff.

I had a bad experience with the people who run that site.

Would you like to share this? This one sentence doesn't really add any value to the conversation.

I don't know. It upset me at the time, but I don't want to seem like I have a vendetta to spread my bad experience.
