I agree with you, but I&#x27;m probably biased because I&#x27;ve used live coding in one of my talks. However, the intent of coding live was similar to the talk you mentioned - it was to show people that what I was trying to accomplish isn&#x27;t as hard as people think it is. In fact, it&#x27;s easy enough that I can do it in an hour while explaining out loud what&#x27;s happening.
