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.

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.
