On: The Strange Appeal of Watching Coders Code

Went to check it out, all content is in flash. This is 2015, flash is no longer acceptable, especially on sites where the target audience is tech people. Hey at least they have TLS

God damn it, at least giev some stream url for my phone to take a crack at... Flash should be fallback, not an requirement.

There's no real alternative to flash at the moment for live video. Youtube only recently switched from flash for live video for chromo/safari and still uses flash on Firefox.

Stream with 10-30 seconds delay, use <video> element?

Tried to load the site on my phone, saw the flash error, thought "oh yah, this is definitely a platform for developers... not"

Agreed, I'd really want to check this out, but the flash requirement prevents me..
