This reading made me reconsider what I thought live coding was, in the sense that I may have understood it in a more traditional sense, computing-wise. For example, I would liken it to an interactive DJ set, but after the reading, I’m not sure I would still describe it like that. I feel like every time I tell someone I’m taking this class and they ask me to explain what it is, I come up empty, so this really helps kind of clear the air. I was also really intrigued by the mention of the political angle, and how showing the screen and the code you go against what Big Tech essentially wants, which is to make the computers feel invisible so our interactions with them are “seemingly natural”.
