Imagine if we could blur the lines between a streamer being live and offline on Twitch.

Taking inspiration from music, education, and the thrill of live performance, Entertainment As Code redefines Twitch live coding streams. It showcases how you can create a live coding show on Twitch that is fun, entertaining, and a little bit addictive, not just through the code you write on the stream, but through the code you write for the stream.

Work is an exchange of time for money.
