Oh boy I'd love to watch this guy in action in a twitch.tv stream, taking down a site (to clarify... white hat stuff!). It would be so damn fascinating to see how his mind works and how he makes the leap from 0 to exploit.


For this kind of stuff, I'm not sure it would be that interesting. Lots of staring off into space... scrolling the source code... cursing people who can't write code that other people can understand... oh! That doesn't look right... Only the "oh!" part would be about 20 hours into the stream ;-)

I once had an idea to invite open source developers to remotely pair with me for a day on something (a bug fix, some feature they are working on, whatever)... I would record the session, do an introduction to the problem, and then edit the session down to about an hour or an hour and a half. I think it would be fascinating (if a lot of work).

Maybe some day...


That sounds unfeasibly dull, compared to the nice text explanation. You can see what someone's typing but that really isn't what's in their head.


Is there anything currently like this for other people?


I've been thinking about live coding on twitch but having to think about not revealing any sensitive information would make it a hassle. I will give it a try for some side projects.
