These 10 live feeds will make you better at programming.

Hello, Habr!



I present to you the translation of one very interesting article “These 10 Live Streaming Channels Will Make You a Better Programmer” by Thomas De Moor .



The number of people who broadcast their program code is growing, and hundreds of people are watching their every broadcast. You may ask why. After all, why would you look at someone else's code? These live streams often last for hours. Isn't this a slow and inefficient way to improve your own programming skills?



You will be surprised, but watching someone program is a great way to learn something new or improve an existing skill. There are many benefits to this. Firstly, you will notice that even experienced programmers try their best. They are no different from you. They have no magic tricks. They are looking for solutions, just like you. They forget the semicolon, just like you. They try, like you.



Secondly, looking at the code of other people you will learn small tips and tricks that they use to improve their code. These are often things that you will never see in an edited video, but it can be incredibly valuable.



Thirdly, streamers very often interact with their audience when they are live. They answer questions, ask questions and change what they are talking about, depending on the wishes of the audience.



If you've never watched a live stream before, I recommend you try it. Here are 10 channels to watch:
