Awesome Developer Streams: curated list of awesome developers that stream

Surprising that Jonathan Blow (Braid, The Witness, Jai) is missing, given that Casey Muratori is listed (the other really popular game dev that streams).

Nevertheless, he streams game development and creating his programming language at @Naysayer88 on twitch and regularly posts his videos to Youtube. Skip the beginning of his stream or you may be instilled with the overwhelming desire to go out and buy cupcakes.

I scrolled through the list looking for this myself. How are you going to have a list of development streams and not include the most popular developer streamer. This list just feels weird, like giving a list of popular programming languages and not mentioning java.

That's why it's hosted on github. To quote the 5th line:

> ...make your change to this file and open a pull request!

The title says "curated", but in my experience all the "awesome-*" lists have just a few criteria for merging PRs, highest among them that changes keep the list sorted alphabetically. The approach doesn't have any opinions about whose streams you should try watching first. How is this all that different from searching google for "developers who stream", except that on this list it's easier for people who would be far down in the search results to get noticed?

As for this "awesome-" list, the same holds for all of them that I've seen.

This list is basically curated by the developer streamers as it's been brought to our attention :)

So it's "curated by the community" ? If so that sounds like "crowd-sourced" to me.

There's an opportunity to evaluate some of the content that's listed here, imbue it with more structure, and espouse opinions about what's worth watching and (crucially) what _isn't_. People might disagree with you, but they can curate their own list.

I'm sure people would find value in that, I look forward to seeing what you put together ;)

Not seeing any lispers, maybe that's my sign. :)

My stream is in Golang but we did write a lispy parser and interpreter during one of the projects!

+1 for Suz Hinton at the top of the list. That's a bad ass lady. Also great on Twitter ~ @noopkat

Edit: Also does anyone know if there are any good Ruby streamers? I don't see any on the list.

While noopkat is awesome, the list is in the order that people were added :)

I wish there was some way to isolate developer streams discussing programming in the FFMPEG libav API from the countless "how to use FFMPEG" videos.

And trying to search with "libAV" brings up dork videos emotionally raging about the libAV fork that died.

Try proper names like avcodec, avformat, avio and avutil. These should work as opposed to late libav.

Step two for anyone fancying a weekend hack or similar.. use the Twitch API to monitor which ones are live or not and present that info on a single page we can visit to watch a live programming stream right now.

Ask and you shall receive. Pretty awesome, did you just write this?

Thanks, I just had to modify an older project, adding YouTube would be the next step but lunch is over lol.

You win 12 Internets! :-)

If you follow them on Twitch you would have that information in your Twitch sidebar!

twitch.tv/nodebotanist (bias disclosure: that's me, so you'll have to decide awesomeness for yourself). Hardware, Node.JS, and sometimes how to make technical content (meta).

why not just create a pr for the repo?

i have been looking and looking but can't find good streams or videos of people coding in a lisp (e.g., common lisp) or a smalltalk. this is really disappointing because i would love to see these (supposedly) more dynamic environments at work. i would also take any SML or f# videos as well.

there is a korean guy on youtube who does some live coding in common lisp for music and visuals, which is really cool, but that's all i have found.

any suggestions?

this guy has a few F# videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAiiOTio8Yu69c3XnR7nQBQ/vid...
