A few weeks ago I started to stream again after taking a break for a couple of months. I'm now on Season 2 of the stream.
\nI started to stream in 2020. Around May, if I remember correctly.
\n\nI remember back in 2015 I discovered programming streams, think it was on livecoding.tv. I'd watch and think that one day I would stream myself. Took me a few years, but I did it xD
\n\nTo be honest I don't even know why I decided to stream. What I do know is that as awkward as my streams are, I enjoy doing it.
\nSeason 1 was random. Like a TV Show that producers aren't sure if there's going to be another season or not.
\n\nIt was mostly about Functional Programming and doing whatever I felt like doing. I tried out a few things that never finished like the Fantasy Land series and working through books.
\n\nHere are some other things I did:
\n\nI also uploaded some of the VODs to YouTube, which some people found very useful. I should probably do more of that.
\n\nEventually I got tired of it, I figure because I had no goal in mind. Every week would be a new random thing.
\n\nAnd also, during this time I moved to a new place and have been busy with a ton of renovation projects, which make up a big chunk of my free time now. Maybe I should stream that?
\nTime passed by and I started to miss the stream. I felt like break was over. And so I decided to start again. Since I had quite some time to think about the stream, instead of you know, actually streaming, I realized that I need to set a goal for the stream. Or at least a theme to stick to. Something that would keep me motivated, hold me accountable, and give purpose to it.
\n\nWhile Season 1 was all random and doing whatever, Season 2 is going to be about figuring out what the hack do I want with my stream.
\n\nThe main thing I'm changing already is the randomness of it. For the foreseeable future I will stick to a single project at a time. At the moment it is therssproject. I'm not sure what will be next. But I do want to take a more indie hacker approach on my side projects from now on, and that will reflect on the stream as well.
\n\nI would like to grow my audience as well. The days I had the most fun on the stream where when people showed up and it wasn’t just me.
\n\nOne recent thing that really got me inspired is @ThePrimeagen's video Why I make Content. I hope to be able to share that passion for programming as well!
\n\nSee you on twitch.tv/gillchristian!
