I've said this many times on my Twitch stream, but streaming my programming has been easily the biggest productivity booster I've ever experienced. Without any LSP, AI, or other tools--just me, Vim, and a Terminal--I created all of this in just one year on stream: - 2 new…


A quick excerpt from my streams where I try to find a ZoomIt alternative for Linux to draw on the screen. Only one I found was Gromit-Mpx which had a drawing ability but wasn't nearly as easy to use. Video has demo of me trying it:


This is an excerpt from yesterday where I try TypeScript (not Go) at the request of a viewer. Tried it for 30 minutes and found plenty of errors just in that 30 minutes to confirm it's still kind of trash.


Got my Twitch recap stats today, and they're pretty interesting. I think image #2 is my favorite. It showed I streamed 360 out of 365 days this year, but _also_ 645 times, which means I was successfully consistent 2x per day. That was my main goal, so thanks to everyone who came…

This morning's adventure in Vulkan ended with the code compiling, and _probably_ written correctly, but the shader simply wouldn't run. I'm on Linux so I suspect it's an incompatibility, and I think that because even the Author's code didn't work.


It took me all day but the DASH-WEBM version of my videos is now working on my site. I only have one course converted (the Go course) but it works. Next step is to use the DASH .mpd to distribute the videos to multiple servers.


Currently deploying the DASH-MPEG videos to my website from the last weeks of dev on vidcrunch and ran into a bug because my ffprobe is <check notes>1 million years old. Now waiting for all of ffmpeg to build just to get ffprobe.


I'm currently streaming some C++ game dev, working on my hand crafted 80s style raycasted dungeon crawler about a dead baby: twitch.tv/zedashaw
