Lessons Learned Live Coding in Public
summary
Names actual tools and workflows: uses make files to standardize start test deploy, demos a BattleSnake JSON handler converted into immutable value objects via a valenor-style factory, and deploys throwaway services with breath on AWS Lambda so releases are trivial. Recommends Pest, Slim, Laravel, Sam (static analysis), ngrock/expose, OBS Studio and Twitch (twitch.tv/ghlive). Claims clarity over cleverness, notes an (unverified) “75%” of bugs from type conversion, and shows that frequent tiny deploys keep live coding useful and satisfying.
