    Why coding streams/shows are interesting to me: in some livestreams, the experience is very similar to pair programming, but those people are experts. In VODs, it's more about problem solving and learning skills and approaches. The devs are really good at what they do and there is *always* a lot to learn.

    1) Handmade Hero
    About the author: Casey Muratori. Worked at RAD.
    Description and why I like it: It kinda started the whole thing for me. Casey is coding a complete game and engine on stream, from scratch, one hour a day. He knows what he's doing on so many of the domains of game development and regular programing, that you can't not learn something new every episode. Strongly dislikes OOP, the c++ committee, and microsoft ;) so maybe not suitable for fans of those. This show has also spurred a complete community about "handmade" development, inspiring other developers to take up streaming and so on. Noteworthy is Casey talks about his thought process and what he's doing non-stop (so no interacting with the audience until the Q&A) sometimes drawing diagrams/pieces of art to explain things, etc -- which is somewhat different from the other streams, which can have both more silences and pauses, to check the chat, answer questions and so on.

It's not about a specific projet per-se, there have been streams about data structures, coding a text editor, a profiler, a compiler, etc but I think one the main themes is going to be "building a compiler from scratch" (there have been 3 episodes on this topic already), as Per seems to enjoy the subject and is very knowledgeable and skilled about it and more.
