After some delays so that my family and I could take care of some holiday errands, but we ran the live stream in the evening. We merged a pull request and updated Epic Build Music, but more importantly, started publishing our ASP.NET Core application to a Docker container.
I went a little long on the stream, and it felt really good. I answered a first question from the issues list, and I think we have a nice integration with the Twitch and Mixer APIs.
