Four months ago, took up the unicast. Once again. And yet the bad soldier who does not seek the general's pants.
First you need to prepare the tools and materials. In our craft, it is the arrangement of the workplace, setting the environment, the architecture of the project, the choice of libraries and the connection API.
Of course I will upload to Open Source, which brings its obvious fruits. And I also want to stream - why? I did not answer for myself completely, but what are the successes on the points:
Mastering tools for streaming. YouTube Creative Studio and OBS Studio settings, handheld libx265 under Ubuntu for 4K, OBS Tablet Remote screen switching tools, SLR as a webcam with a video capture box ezcap287, a cardioidly directed condenser microphone.
I log my activities in different ways: releases in GitHub for each YouTube broadcast, Toggl, WakaTime, Trello. Measurements help plan for the race for a long distance. Observed how the developers oppose when customers require any accounting. But if “everything is self” is another matter!
Communicating with imaginary viewers, among whom is my "alter ego", like a kind of pair programming. Formulating a question is already half the solution, and I really like to talk. The feeling of sparing helps to move forward.
Some of the lessons are research and reasoning, which are deposited in only one head. But now there is an opportunity to share a link to the stream, and to update the passed most. Each speck of dust is a vitamin.
