Actually, I just started doing this yesterday. I had streamed a handful of times on Twitch (channel the same name as my username here) for side projects before, but I just joined a startup as a co-founder and decided to try streaming during work hours.

A couple tips:

  - Use multiple monitors - this is almost a hard requirement
  - Separate secrets into their own files.
  - Exclude secret files from your IDE/editor search
  - Make the second monitor the main monitor so notifications and what not go there
  - On that second (or third monitor), put everything that isn't your editor
Be prepared for few to no viewers. Remember the point is to help keep you focused, not get attention.
