I didn't even know livestreaming code was a thing aside from pre-scripted tutorials. I'll have to watch one of the streams, because the hands-on nature is probably good for learning the quirks of various techniques that you don't get from programming books.

It's too bad I spend 80% of my development time reading documentation and chasing down bugs.



80% is thinking and figuring things out, 20% is writing code; always.


THis.

Solve your problem then write code. Problems solved by writing code almost always ends up with crappy / messy code / difficult to maintain code.

The coding should be the easy bit, it's just implementing your solution in a language you know. It's basically just typying.


It gets lower and lower the more senior you get because you add an entire "obtain requirements and develop consensus" step.
