      Silence, mostly. Or the screams of the damned. They are like music to me.

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

      I agree. Silence. Although sometimes I turn on some white noise. Can't have music or talking. Very distracting. Always worked in an office. The one job I got a cubicle after being promised an office. I could not function. I left within 3 months. I could not focus.

        I prefer silence while coding and Godsmack while debugging.

          I use an ipod nano as well, so do you leave your phone in the car or somewhere in your Desk to avoid further distraction?

          Yes. I don't use my phone (HTC One M8 - Windows Phone) as a music player even though I could. I generally keep it on silent (as in everything silent) close by, in my pocket, or in my backpack and only check it every few hours.

              Depends. Sometimes music, other times silence (which I rarely get in the office!). Whoever said open plan offices produce better results wasn't a developer. I say that knowing some developers like the "collaboration" the open plan engenders. I, however, am not of that belief.

                An open Plan is best for the Bar, I like my privacy, and in seclusion I work better!

                    Mostly classic music .Everything that has vocals gets me distracted.

                      You and probably 10,000 others are interviewing currently. They interview thousands of people because they people constantly quitting. Average person lasts year-18 months. If you make it to the onsite interviews its 5 or 6 in a row, where the people ask the same cult-like questions and follow up questions.

                      So in other words should be easy for me to get in :-\ Still, can't be much worse than being an underpaid, overworked code monkey in a softward dev house / app sweatshop. Two previous co-workers ended up there and they're enjoying it. Since they're as pedantic as I am, if not more, this bodes well I think :laugh: I hope, anyway. :~
