I’d love to do a live stream of my coding work with me explaining my process. Even if few/no people watched live, they might make for useful tutorials or at the very least a sort of video journal.
My main hitch is that I’m concerned about getting to comfortable and accidentally bringing up a config file that contains secrets, and then once those are streamed they’re out of my control.
I have a problem with diving into rabbit holes and spending more time on "being efficient" than sometimes just doing the work. Two things that have helped are
1) recording a "session" (I use snagit, but any screen recorder that lets you narrate works), where I describe what I'm working on, what the goal is etc. It seems silly, but even if the only person that's going to watch the video is me it somehow helps keep on task. And the video journal aspect is actually interesting.
2) Focusmate.com - this worked for me for a while, but I'm a secret uber-introvert, so I dreaded the introduction part of the process. But telling someone "I want to accomplish X in the next hour" and then having them watching over my shoulder really works.
Maybe you should try the live streaming, but just leave out the streaming part? :-)
