Live coding streams recommendations?

Hello!

I've been searching, and following up with some live coding streams on youtube and twitch, specifically targeted towards backend engineering and devops. I'd like to get your recommendations so I check them out also.

Thanks!

Not sure if you have a specific language you're looking for, but twitch.tv/csharpfritz does a fair amount of streaming, not sure about his ratios of front end vs backend, but still I think worth checking out.

I wanna get into this myself at some point, but I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing :P

I've done a few livestreams in the past, covering automated functional testing for the front-end, but haven't done anything recently. Curious to know what you look for in a live stream though... lots of interaction with audience? entertainment? or just wanting to watch someone figure code out?

Oh nice! Any links to them?

I look forward to livestreams with a interactions yeah, but most importantly see how people approach and figure out stuff too.

My YouTube channel is at: youtube.com/user/medigerati

I mix it up between live streams and pre-recording videos. Any and all feedback is welcome!

In my case I would like to learn! Being it testing, deployment or some goodies of the language itself :)

The coding train is really great. The host is funny and explain everything from scratch.
It's Javascript oriented, but he's looking into all kind of problems, algorithms and visualisations.

Reviving a bit of an old thread here, but Potch (twitch.tv/potch | DEV profile) on our team at Glitch does a stream every week showing off the platform and new NodeJS integrations/frameworks. It's a lot of fun, and worth checking out—would love your feeback!

Hi, I have a fast growing live coding channel on Twitch, I stream everyday. I make a video game, a MMO running on JavaScript with some TypeScript, React.js and React Native flavour. The back end is written in Node.js structured as micro services.
I use some Grafana stuff for collecting metrics, flagr for AB testing, redis and postgresQL to persist the data.
Feel free to come say hi on twitch.tv/fr33maan!

We don't cover Backend yet but we're live streaming about React and React Native a lot!
Our YT channel is: youtube.com/channel/UCHpSnIBS4s3wz...

I will probably have something on the menu for that soon. It's on a planning process for now.
