Thanks @spdegabrielle 😀 The channel page is at [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/velcro_van) in case the above link is not showing up (Firefox gives me an error but allows it to open in a new window) Some of you may recall I was doing this semi-regularly some months ago, but now that I have a faster machine that won’t bog down during streaming I am starting back up again. ---

I worked out that if I put a link between `<` and `>` it just shows the link: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/racket/original/1X/c988ffae51032300bdebe69e1b14b4312e2b38ed.png) ---

Very cool. I can’t wait to do some live web coding later on! ---

Oh, I see. Discourse is trying to do the preview, but twitch won’t allow itself to be embedded. That makes sense. ---

I’d enjoy that as well. My own live coding skills are somewhere on the spectrum between “complete failure” and “half as good as @bogdan ” ---

I’m actually interested in the appeal/history of watching people code. Is it interesting? Question from an old fuddy-duddy, I guess I should join & see how it goes. ---

> [@jbclements](#): > > Is it interesting? I used to enjoy watching Suz Hinton live-code on Twitch before she “retired”, and I always end up watching Bogan’s coding demonstrations at least a few times. I think there's a social component that definitely makes it more fun the more people are there, which is some of the difficulty when starting. The synchronous aspect also conspires against this. Most of my views by far come after the fact, when I’ve copied the recording to YouTube. I also haven’t really been confident enough to spread the word about it on mainline Racket channels until now (and been unsure about whether that was even appropriate). Two people in the past have told me they like to have it on as atmosphere while working on other things. Also I’ve had more viewers when I’ve worked on a specific project that folks find interesting and announced it ahead of time on the email newsletter; in that case I think people are watching to learn for the same reasons I watch Bogan's videos. All that to say Your Mileage Will Vary 🙃 ---
