A roughly hour-long live hacking session in which Go team members Andrew Gerrand and Brad Fitzpatrick write the new version of tip.golang.org, the site serving leading-edge Go documentation. It is unedited pair programming on a real Go project.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN people point to it as a rare chance to watch skilled developers write real code live, pair programming and explaining as they go.

“Best video I have found to date is”
Best programming video the commenter has found.
Would you mind sharing who you watch? I have found a few good ones but feel like there are loads I am missing! Best video I have found to date is this video but there are only 2
“It's just something to watch the pros doing live coding.”
Go team members live coding.
I also recommend "Hacking with Andrew and Brad: tip.golang.org" [1]. They are part of the Go team. It's just something to watch the pros doing live coding. By the way, what's with antirez's colorscheme? I wonder if he really uses that blue background or is it just for the video. [1] this video

“Andrew Gerrand (previously on the Go core team) uses Vim without syntax highlighting.”
Example of coding in Vim without syntax highlighting.
If you've never seen anyone work with syntax highlighting off, there are some YouTube videos that inspired me to try coding with syntax highlighting off: 1. "Hacking with Andrew and Brad" - Andrew Gerrand (previously on the Go core team) uses Vim without syntax highlighting.[0] 2. "Advanced Embed With Go Generate - Andy Walker" -- this guy uses bold/italics/few colors in his editor. Interesting visual on how you can use font to show different aspects of the code.[1][2] 3. "Visual Studio Code, No Syntax Coloring, Go Fonts" [3] 4. "stb programming FAQ" - Sean Barrett answers why he uses VC6 and why his syntax highlighting is so minimal.[4] [0]: this video [1]: link [2]: link [3]: link [4]: link
