You might want to go to ludum dare's website and see what it's about, it has nothing to do with twitch...

If your goal is to release your first game, I fail to see how Ludum Dare doesn't help: it's goal is effectively to release a game.

I know what Lumdum Dare is, you're missing the point I was trying to light heartedly try and make....

I'm afraid I'm missing the point too. Would you mind finding another way to make it?

If the core point of the essay is to cut the YAGNI and just get something shipped, aren't gamejames like Ludum Dare a great way to do that?
