Linux and Programming Related Twitch Streamers
I like to watch people program on twitch. Seeing people suffer with code reminds me that I am not alone.
I may be missing a few, so I will add them onto this list as I find them.
In addition to that, the notes on their content and OS are as of when I last watched them, so they may be inaccurate. If people stop being programmers, then I will take them offline.
In no particular order, here the ones I’ve seen around:
