I wonder if the embedded programming sector has been relatively safe and unharmed by AI. Is there anybody here who can weigh in?

Thank you. I’d love to spend some time studying the codebases of projects I admire like sqlite, luajit, or whatever Fabrice Bellard has a hand in, and try to find something interesting about them to share with everyone through CodeMic. There's so much to learn from human engineers of that caliber.

> As for the usefulness aspect, personally I am not sure that this has a benefit over e.g. watching youtube tutorials/following books.

I do like YouTube video tutorials, but only as long as they're short. Watching Handmade Hero (by Casey Muratori) for example was a little frustrating: the videos are long, the codebase is large, things are moving fast, and I'd get lost.

I often wished I could pause the video to look up the definition of a function, or get an overview of when each file/line was edited and jump straight to that point.

Books/blogs are ok for explaining large codebases that already exist, but not for following a project as the code constantly changes. The book Crafting Interpreters did a really good job there, but that's really rare and hard to do.

I think CodeMic could be useful for this kind of long-form tutorials.

Thank you very much.

I made CodeMic for those who love to write code by hand and understand code written by hand. It's my little sanctuary from AI.

You may very well be right about the future. I won't argue. I just love the art of programming :)

I think you mean Scrimba. Yes, it's similar in the sense that in both tools, when you're playing back a recording, you're not looking at the code as a video. But instead the code is there as text. You can pause the recording, look at the files in the project, scroll up and down the editor etc.

The difference is that CodeMic records and replays inside your editor, not on the web. Currently, only VSCode is supported, but the output is independent of VSCode, making it easy to bring it to other editors and even the web.

Another difference is that CodeMic is not focused on web development or any particular stack. It's more general.

I'm working on CodeMic, a VS Code extension to record and share coding sessions directly inside your editor.

Think Asciinema, but for full coding sessions with audio, video, and images.

It makes following tutorials and understanding real codebases much more practical than watching a video.

Local first, and open source.

Think Asciinema, but for full coding sessions with audio, video, and images.

While replaying a session, you can pause at any point, explore the code in your own editor, modify it, and even run it. This makes following tutorials and understanding real codebases much more practical than watching a video.

Local first, and open source.

p.s. I’ve been working on this for a little over two years and would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for checking it out. I'd be happy to take a look and figure out what's wrong if you could please drop me an email or open a github issue.

That's a good idea, I'll work on the overlapping video tracks.

Show HN: CodeMic - replay coding sessions inside your editor, local-first

seansh — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 14:28:42 +0000

Hi guys,

With CodeMic, instead of watching a programming video, you can replay sessions *inside your own editor* where you can run the code, explore, and experiment.

Think Asciinema for coding sessions with audio, video, and images.

Record & replay in VSCode. Emacs, Vim, web embedding and more coming soon.

Local first and open source.

No signup required, except for publishing your sessions.

-----

p.s. This is a platform not only for teaching programming, but also for showing human engineering at its best by exploring and discussing incredible open-source projects. Some of my favorites I would like to cover include projects such as FFmpeg, SQLite, LuaJIT, and Emacs.

I believe in human engineering and aim to build the right tools for presenting and communicating code through CodeMic.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts :)
