I don't believe I would be productive on a livestream. That said, I think it would be like exercising a muscle I neglect - similar to the physical exercise I don't do :) I'd probably grow as a programmer if I were more comfortable searching for solutions in front of others.

I thought the same till I tried it, ended up being more fun than I realized. If you watch other streamers, you'll see that most aren't racing through - they're just casually coding...socially.
I think a lot of us turn to computers because at a young age The Social (tm) was hard. Some are very lucky to have a group of friends or coworkers they feel comfortable programming with.
