The following are notes and details recapping a past live stream where we live code together. The idea behind these streams is that they provide real-world examples of running into problems and solving them or working towards solving them live.

Stream Replay
Goals
✔ Chair appearance
✔ Set up machine to start testing (git pull note taker project)
✔ Bower appearance
✔ Talk about 7 D's and definition of done
✔ Testing, testing and more testing
✔ Achieve 100% test coverage for data.js file
✔ nock npm package: HTTP server mocking and expectations library for Node.js
✔ Closing and raid @davidortinau
Results
- Successfully set up our local machine for testing Node.js
- Added more tests and therefore better coverage to the stream note taker project
Next Steps
- Rethink the approach in determining when a stream goes offline such as through the webhooks options from Twitch
Things we learned
- How to set up our local environment to write tests for Node.js
- Defining "Done" when it comes to code tasks
- What's a "stub" and a "spy" when it comes to testing
- Writing code in a way that's more testable
- Testing tools: mocha, chai, sinon, supertest, istanbul/nyc, nock
Things to Review & Notes
- (@pixelprodotco) consider writing an event log to disk in case of process failures or something.

Clips
Clips are a feature on Twitch that let you cut and capture segments of the live stream in the moment (up to 60 seconds). See how to use clips on Twitch for more details. The following are some fun moments captured from this stream:
