Also I enjoy hearing other people code, especially the clack of the keyboard.
I remember there were some internet radio streams that had office sounds playing (at different intensities), but I do not think they're online anymore.
I also find it relaxing to hear him talk, while me doing something else at the same time, like playing a game of Civ.

I'm fairly new to dev, and my colleague is even newer. The sysadmins only know PowerShell, so I'm always teaching myself, and don't get to pick up on best practises or learn how anyone else would do things, other than from what I read online.
I guess it'd just be cool to see something built from start to finish, watching the problems they encounter and how they work around them.
I view every livestream I watch as a one sided code review and refactoring session, and spend most of the time watching reasoning through how they are coding and if there are things that could be clearer. I learn lots from that... including new idioms that I like or despise.
I’ll also watch streams where the coder needs help, so I’ll pitch in over chat to help with problems. I’ve taught several people suprising amounts through twitch chat and despite twitch delay.
Just try watching a stream or two! Check the creative communities on twitch and select programming or game development!
I'd love to hear your perspectives! I understand streaming in gaming contexts, developer streaming is new to me.
