The survey I created gave me a glimpse into what people are feeling about the scene,
and most importantly, it begs the question: how are other people discovering live coding and
how do they feel about it? There is no doubt that live coding is gaining popularity among
programmers and non-programmers alike. Whether it’s through word-of-mouth, seeing a show,
or discovering it randomly on the internet, people are getting to know what live coding is. New
York’s live code scene and community is burgeoning. “Increasingly, people from outside of New
York City are interested in what we’re doing and are making our meetups a part of their visits to
New York or even planning their visits around our meetups” says Nasser, host of
Livecode.NYC’s bi-weekly gatherings. And who knows, we might see you at our next meeting ;)
UPDATE: This article was written pre-Coronavirus, all meetups are now online! Join us on Discord.
