Learning in Public:: Live Coding on Twitch
summary
Live coding on Twitch forces regular coding, accountability and live rubber‑ducking, uses OBS plus a shared OBS scene JSON to manage scenes, StreamElements for overlays/chat bots, VoiceMeeter for audio mixing, and a Sony camera + HyperX mic or just a phone headset. Viewers mob‑program via Visual Studio Live Share; a sample repo includes a SignalR Twitch chatbot and tips for DMCA‑safe music like Pretzel Rocks. Typical income is modest (~£100–150/mo); expect many viewers to dip in and only ~10 to stay the whole stream.
