+title: Using code snippets for effective live demos

+
+[This tweet](https://x.com/DCoulbourne/status/1820068237226262810) mentions using code snippets whilst doing live demos to make them easier and less risky:
+
+> Writing hella VSCode snippets for my @LaraconUS talk.
+>
+> I saw @joetannenbaum live coding with safety and ease in India and knew I'd need some of that swag for US.
+
+Joe's talk was recorded but won't be published until after LaraconUS, but I also remembered [this talk by Micheal Heap at PHP UK 2018](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuBD3p20oyE), where he used Vim snippets and shell aliases to show how to go from nothing to a deployed Laravel application using Jenkins.
+
+I'd like to use this approach more when doing my live coding demos, such as in my Sculpin talk.
+
+TODO: update this note with a link to Joe's talk once it's published.
