Live Coding

Definitions

1. The practice of writing or modifying code in real time in front of an audience — during a livestream, conference talk, interview, or music performance. In the music context, it refers to generating sound algorithmically on stage using languages like Sonic Pi or TidalCycles.

   In plain English: Writing code in real time while people watch, whether as a teaching exercise, a conference demo, or even a musical performance.

   Example: "I live-coded the entire feature during the meetup talk and, miraculously, the demo gods were kind and it compiled on the first try."
