I think it depends on your feeling. I have 0 issues with doing live coding with no support, which involves failing to solve the problem on my first attempt about 95% of the time.
Which I think it's fine, as I take it as an excuse to walk people through the "real" coding process -- we try something, mess it up, then try alternative things until it works. Outside of SWC context, I also received student feedback that said, essentially, that it makes instructors look "less impressive" (and I think it is a good thing). But some other times, I *do* keep a printout of the code next to me just in case.
