The usual answer is a sounding YES. But what about live coding an MLOps project on Twitch? Can anything good come out of it?//BioFelipe Penha creates content about Data Science regularly on the Data Science Bits channel on YouTube and Twitch. He has 8+ years of experience with hands-on data-related work, starting with his doctorate in Astroparticle Physics. His career in the private sector has been devoted to bringing value to various segments of the Food and Beverages Industry through the use of Analytics and Machine Learning.----------- Connect With Us ✌️-------------   Join our Slack community: https://go.mlops.community/slackFollow us on Twitter: @mlopscommunitySign up for the next meetup: https://go.mlops.community/registerConnect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbrinkm/Connect with Felipe on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fcpenha/Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction to Felipe Campos Penha[01:30] Felipe's background[05:36] Developing models in physics vs developing models for companies[08:07] Felipe's transition from Jupyter Notebook to Operational ML[09:34] "The thought of business basically for customers, they always wanted to see the value and try to roll out more manual work like spreadsheets so they could try out that model in the field."[12:07] Felipe's software engineering development learning[14:10] Catalyst on YouTube and Twitch[18:06] Elements of Twitch[20:02] Non-polished versions of Twitch[21:16] "Twitch was not made for coding, it was for gamers."[26:17] Felipe's audience impact on Twitch[28:02] Logistical pieces[30:43] Words of wisdom on live streaming[30:56] "Don't be afraid to start. There are many streamers who are actually learning from scratch, and they are showing the process of learning online. They are learning faster because the help is faster."[33:16] Blog post as another means to Twitch[33:50] "I'm a perfectionist when I'm writing. The shorter it is, the harder it could get. You want to polish it a lot to make nice figures. I learned a lot, but for me, I feel that process is too slow because you're thinking about one subject for a long time, trying to polish it, while in live streaming, it's very dynamic and fast."[34:25] Twitch affecting Felipe's career[36:36] "Exposing yourself, showing your mistakes, vocalizing your thoughts, I think all of this makes you a better programmer."  [37:12] Getting through a problem[39:41] Recommended streamers that caught Felipe's interest[41:00] Community aspect and importance of Twitch[42:42] Role of community on Twitch[45:16] "Twitch is becoming such a trend that even companies are following."
