My focus is on the educational and entertainment value, not really the progress or utility of the code I write. I originally started this as extended L&Ls for friends & fam who were just starting out programming, so they could see how I work through things.

My take away from that perspective is: be honest. IMO the best moments are me just failing. It's probably more fun and more instructive to see me struggle than to see me breeze through things.

And it better be entertaining because I work on stuff absolutely nobody cares about anyway. XD Right now I'm writing a microformats2 -> RSS converter in JQ...

Today was my first time on Twitch, which is way more social. Random people drop in and start talking to you. Very cool. Very different from youtube live, where it's only the people who already know you, IME.
