Narrated programming. A product which allows programmers to narrate what they are doing as they code.

Why, you ask? Because programming could become a spectator sport. Sound ridiculous? Only a few years ago video gaming as a spectator sport seemed far fetched. Now it's big business. I think people will want to watch other programmers work and understand what they think and how they do it. I would certainly be interested in watching some of the best programmers at work - as long as the narration was effective and meaningful. That's what this product would do - help programmers to narrate and capture meaningful commentary.

Thoughts and feedback?

    Unfortunately I'm pretty sure there are already tools out there that do this.
