This is so cool! 🙌 Live Share just released the ability to have a “reusable” session URL, and I wonder if it would be interesting to discuss some way that DEV posts could have an associated Live Share (e.g. it’s a help request/code review discussion/SO question, that the poster is around in real-time for a bit).

It might even be cool to have a Live Share badge that indicated the session’s online status, and let readers click it to directly join into the session. Just thinking out loud 😁

That is really cool! As it so happens, we already have the boolean concept in our codebase of whether a DEV post is "live", with this sort of thing in mind, we just gradually stopped trying to make it work because we had bigger fish to fry. So now it's just always false.

But we've had this sort of thing in mind and I think we'd be all for trying to make this happen. So let's figure it out.
