Yeah. I've done it. It's...refreshing in a way, both as the watcher and coder. The watchers get to see new code written, they get to see the process of creation, coders (can) get folks to catch mistakes and logic errors. Plus it provides an environment for interaction, overall. Coding can be lonely(I know I hang out the most on IRC when I'm coding).
This is the article that got me into livecoding.tv. I love watching it and I've learned so much: from useful new text editors all the way to learning new languages by being inspired from watching others learn. I love having conversations with the streamers and getting their insight on coding topics. Great resource.

What do you do on IRC while coding?
0 u/Sylos 07 Sep 2015 22:22
I just talk to people.

I guess it is nice while doing something open source.
