Hello!

For about 2 months I’ve been running a live-stream on Twitch called [ReasonableCoding](https://twitch.tv/ostera). You can pick it up live on Twitch, and [subscribe to upcoming events here](https://www.twitch.tv/ostera/events), but all the past episodes are available on a YouTube channel of the same name: [ReasonableCoding](http://xn--wxa.tv)

 ![series_card](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/ocaml/original/2X/f/ffbe3205511d399ab8017d98d8dcb984ac5cf678.jpeg)

In the episodes, I’ve explored topics in software development: http servers, profiling code, async/parallel programming, unit testing, property-based testing, command line tools, esy, graphql servers, how does the OCaml garbage collector work, etc.

While it is not exclusively aimed at Reason/OCaml, they are the languages I’m using on a daily basis and thus most of the episodes feature them or libraries in the Reason/OCaml ecosystem.

#### What does it look like?

The format tends to be quite raw and straightforward, albeit the stream taking, normally, over 2 hours:

1. Set up a context / state a problem
2. Work on it live

Sometimes includes digging deep into a library, like `lwt`, and just making sense of the whole thing. It may include drawings.

It is quite raw in the sense that there is no language censoring, there’s a lot of “how did this work?” followed up by unearthing sources and reading through documentation, and quite a few a-ha moments as well.

If you can join, there’s a bunch of interaction with the audience (albeit I could improve my setup!), and users like @anmonteiro, @ulrikstrid, @p1xelHer0, @andreypopp and @thangngoc89 have made very impactful suggestions and comments, and ultimately have helped me out a lot during them.

I think you would enjoy it too 🙂
