#livecoding

4 posts4 participants0 posts today

I’ve been talking about building my personal website for too long. On August 29 at 12:30 PM Central I’m finally doing it live on YouTube.
It won’t be polished. It will be real coding, real mistakes, and experimenting with AI using GitHub Copilot Agents.

Hello Fediverse !

In two weeks I'm doing a short #livecoding session as part of an introduction to #Rust for the other devs in my team.

During the session I would like to write a tiny program from scratch in just 30 minutes or so.

I could of course implement the guessing game from the Rust Book, but if you have a better idea, let me know!

I'm also interested if you have other advice or experience to share about teaching Rust to experienced devs.

Boosts welcome :)

Such a phenomenal evening! A massive thank you to everyone who came to the (Algo|Afro) Futures showcase on 1st August or watched the live stream.

Congratulations to David Quartey, Sheba Q, okcandice, Bundy @hpunq, Cyberseed, and Ray for achieving so much during the programme.

This fourth edition of the (Algo|Afro) Futures mentoring programme was led by @hellocatfood with support from @tygerblue and hosted by Vivid Projects. Thanks to BRIG Cafe for hosting the evening of performances.

Many thanks also to Arts Council England for supporting the programme.

The live stream can be watched here youtube.com/watch?v=N-VKGqj2Gm and you can see a collection of awesome photos on our website algo-afro-futures.lurk.org/

Click Nilson’s Collected Rewritings (1000th edition)

The much expanded 1000th edition of Click Nilson’s book Collected Rewritings has just been released (free download). As one of most perplexing books ever written, it may be of interest to the general reader interested in rewriting it themselves, even beyond the live coding community to the margins of experimental literature, text scores, surrealism, and militant musicology.

(2016, 1000th edition 2025) Nilson, C. Collected Rewritings: Live Coding Thoughts, 1968-2037. Burntwood: Verbose. https://composerprogrammer.com/research/collectedrewritings.pdf

An excerpt: Preface to the 1000th edition

It is a massive achievement to have reached this 1000th edition, even if it has meant missing out the 2nd through 999th. 

I won’t trouble you with the details of recantations, denials, withdrawals of material, corrections to earlier editions, refutations, grimacing embarrassment, the floor, opening up, swallowing all thoughts and me within it, a limbo, a fall further, the hell of edits, the worldnether neverword, trickery, conceit, the full flow of sadness, prongs and barbed comments, inflatable tridents and a sorry mess all over my face palm face palm shame and public hubrisiation, regret, a withdrawal from pubic lice, public life once a toilet then a bar where I lost my live programming virginity, yesterday’s papers which did not feature me, wrapping cold fish and chips which I did not eat, and more regret, more shame, more details which I shouldn’t go into, and all for what?

The book has expanded significantly since the 1st edition, gaining at least one preface and innumerable newly nimted footnotes, all but invisible to the trained eye. 

There is a newfound hope in the world, that humanity’s future, and more specifically the future of live coding, will not be cut short by

Join us for an evening of live coded music made by artists from the Netherlands Coding Live community (NL_CL). We will also have a guest from Barcelona, @maia who helped setting up this evening in Helicopter together with Lam Lai. Expect an evening full of algorithmic thinking, live programming, showing screens, fixing errors and adventurous music and visuals.

We'll have an open stage for a 9-min from-scratch live coding session. If you like to participate in the session, please feel free to send us a message! Or come to the event with your laptop and let us know before we start. The from-scratch rules: start with an empty screen, live code for 9 minutes, the audience always claps at the end!
