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.

It would be great to more clearly define what we're doing during dev streams. Sometimes I'm doing Game Dev, it's only a tag within Science & Tech (I'm no scientist!) 🤣 But even when I'm doing game dev I'm not always programming. Programming category would help a lot with searches, for viewers (Myself included) looking to learn specific skills. Thanks!

Live coders deserve their own category! We need a programming category + Language tags (if possible) -

+1. I always have to search through Science & Technology to find new programmers to watch. It's even harder when you want to find someone programming in a specific language, framework or tool.
As people said below, language tags might be a great idea to solve this issue.
