Learning in public - Live coding on Twitch
summary
Live coding on Twitch focuses on practical setup and community mechanics: uses OBS with a JSON scene collection (linked on GitHub), integrates StreamElements overlays and chat bot, routes audio through VoiceMeeter, and runs a Sony a6100 + HyperX QuadCast setup (no expensive gear required). Streams twice weekly, averages ~60 concurrent viewers and 800–900 total views across long sessions, earns ~£100–150/month (donated), enables mob programming via Visual Studio Live Share, and emphasizes start-small, mic/headphones, and privacy checks.
