Programming should be a seperate category from Science & Technology
Every time I am trying to find a programming or game development stream to watch (which is a very specific type of stream) I get lost in all the growing plants and raising chickens 24/7 streams. While on the other hand there are a lot of programming and or game development streams that really deserve their own category. Being a part of the live-coders community I feel that splitting science & technology in a more granular way would benefit everybody. Both in terms of search-ability and clarity.

Hi everyone!
We’re happy to announce that thanks to your feedback, we have created the Software and Game Development category! Thank you for all of your support around this idea.

Up, please. I'm sick of 24/7 streams calling themselves science streams.

Agreed. There is a lot of great programming content, and the community is great. Same with the ethical hackers. Both great groups and deserving of their own categories. It would encourage more others to contribute their specialties within the category as well.

Hello, that is great I ´ve just started a live coding session and have a new category just for programming should help a lot. Thanks Twitch.

I know we can use the appropriate tags for further filtering "game development" or whatever, but that stuff is very easily missable to do, and I'll bet many potential viewers don't use tags to filter while browsing.

Maybe call it "dev" so game dev and programming and other software related stuff can all go somewhere without the chickens

I feel weird every time I select Science & Technology as the category when I'm going to program. I mean, sure, it's a bit of technology, but science? I feel I have to rely on the programming, software development and web development tags, but a Programming category would just make more sense to me.
