So after 10 hours of streaming from the laptop yesterday I realized a few things about livestreaming that I totally forgot:
I really have no ability to resist responding to comments as they happen. Monitoring the chat with my phone triggered me because I had to respond to everything. People have told me in the past not to even read the chat and when I can remember not to I end up producing better content and code all around. Without a timer or anything I can then check the chat when I’m taking a break without overthinking it. I’m a chronic over-thinker.
So I’ve concluded to do most of my streaming without even reading the chat, soft of like that shitty “live_programmer” person who just puts coding on repeat and calls it live.
