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.

    I really support that idea. It will help a lot of people and a very amazing community.

    This would make it so much easier to find developers!

    Would love to see this change implemented! Not only as someone streaming, but also as a viewer: I often find it difficult to surface streams I'm interested in (programming/infra/engineering), and a category with tags that suit it would work very well for this!

    If targeting is a concern, I'm sure ad buyers would also welcome this category/tag addition.

    I think this is a great idea! Coding/Programming/Gaming Development, Software Development, etc has really grown on Twitch and I think we need to separate from the other stuff that ends up on the Science and Technology Category. Maybe call the new category "Development" I think that covers a good blanket of different stream types.
  • CsOrlandi commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes! I support this idea and I think a category named "Software Development" would fit better than "programming or coding" so it can fit all the streams related to I.T.

    Allowing more programming tags will also help.

    I strongly support this. The live coding community on Twitch is growing fast, and it is very different from the other "Science and Technology" channels.

    I support this idea, I think it would be great for people know where to find the appropriate content.
  • wallmartins1 commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, with tags for languages! I strongly support it.
  • EdineiDev commented  ·   ·  Report

    I support the ideia and voted for yes, and I think that Technology is god
  • danielhe4rt commented  ·   ·  Report

    I really support the idea and voted for yes, but Twitch removed the category Programming 2 years ago because of low rate of viewers... And we (live coders) spent a lot of time bring people to Science and Technology so it maybe have to be considered.

    This is a very good idea, I strongly support it.
  • Syropian commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please! Programming streams are nothing like chickens, or battlebots, and should have its own category.
