do any of you stream on twitch? or know of any foc-related twitch streamers

I would 1000% be streaming Hest development, but I have 1mbps upload bandwidth where I live. 😭

I’ve never streamed on twitch. How does it even work? I’m sooo slow at coding I would probably give everyone a headache though LOL

Would be interesting to compare programming styles. I was debugging in front of my teammates last year and painfully self conscious of how slow I was. I kept asking them if they had some alternative approach to my printing log statements. But they didn't, and a year later we all use prints and the codebase has a decent amount of debug logging infrastructure.

Yep console.log still rules my world

There are coding streams.. and then there's XRA, who is working on the game Memory of a Broken Dimension. Instead of a webcam in the lower left corner, he had the pointcloud data of his face from a Microsoft Kinect rendered B&W with a slowly orbiting camera. When he needs to step away from the computer, he runs a generative video experiment of mutated VHS footage as an interstitial. His game looks like ghosts coming out of TV static. He plays music that would fit right in with (and is often made by) the people behind musicforprogramming. His streams are both a thing you can watch with full attention, and something to put on in the background while you work to feel like you're in the most Lynchian/Gibsonian coworking space. He's put a lot of thought and effort into the look and feel of his streams, his game, etc. He also codes slowly, and mostly does print debugging, and struggles with dumb bugs. I think that's just... programming, today.
