I've been tempted more than once to vlog programming, but what do you do about the (frequent, for me) times where you're just searching stackoverflow or reading docs or barking up the wrong tree? I'm more tempted to write the thing, then vlog starting over from scratch as if I know what I'm doing.


You are right! We may spend days and hours on triaging some bug, but it only needs one-line change. The researching and investigation are more valuable than the final deliverable!

For me, I will basically say anything from getting the idea, to doing some research, to implementing, then to demoing it. It's all about the journey!


That's all a normal part of my process, and true for many people. Seeing that is as valuable as anything else.


Totally agree!
