The problem with live coding
Yakov Fain: I know only one person who can do it well: Venkat Subramaniam. Firstly, most of his talks are recorded on video, so, you can watch them later on and see how he did the coding. Secondly, he maintains a site and all of his presentations, with the code, are published there.
Unfortunately, many other speakers, who are not as good as Venkat, just enjoy themselves in front of the people in the room. They say, "Look at this! Look how I can code in front of you!" They show all these different shortcuts, copy-pasting snippets of code, and in 10 minutes, they have created the project. You're thinking, "Slides are boring. Look at what this guy does! In front of an audience, he does all that!"
Now the talk is over and you're at home. After this talk, what's left? What are the resources available to you? In the case of Venkat, you do have them, but in the case of many other people who do live coding, you have nothing...
