Music Coding and Our Brain
-
Here is a link to a 14 min NPR Pod Cast about Music and our Brain Listen to get the idea about this question Earworm neuroscience: why some songs stick in our brains : Short Wave : NPR[^] Now for the relationship of all this to coding In Nov 2019 I wrote a JavaFX project that used a DataGrid if you have used this control you all know that setting the width and adjusting for the vertical scrollbar takes some finesse To overcome this issue at the time I just added a small blank column at the end I have not been coding till this month. Slow forward to today I am writing the same project in VB.Net and trying to deal with the DataGridView issue with the scrollbar. Then I remembered what I did when working with JavaFX. What trigered that memory? So do any of you listen to music as you code ? And if so when coding what triggers a memory of what you did in another language? Yes I know just look back at the older project code. I have a Code Bank application to store novel code snippets so that is my solution.

Well, no. That's distracting.

To be fair, there was a radio in the office, and sometimes I would absentlyminded sing along. Not my most productive environment. At home I close the shutters, so no outside lights. No phone. No big clock. No distractions. Just this one thing that exists :thumbsup:

I mostly get PTSD when listening to music while coding. Honestly, I've seen so much code it all just blends together in matrix-like data streams, and I rely on IntelliSense to translate what I'm typing into the right language. In all seriousness, yes, any pattern that gets stored in brain can be clustered with useful information. But because we're bio-mechanical logic engines enslaved to a cabal of gut-bacteria getting consistent high fidelity is typically an issue. Don't think about it too much. You can increase fidelity to useable levels by training your rote-memory on a finite data-set, and piggy backing on that as an encoding scheme instead.

I like to, but I do it like 50%

Not the music
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I like music but agree listening while coding takes away from the joy of the music and is a distraction to codding I am a little slow on the uptake but the C# looks like the product of listening to music and coding It has taken a while to learn this but walking away from the problem you are trying to solve and think about it with NO Screen or Keyboard is very productive for me vb.net If problem LIKE veryBig Then Just Walkaway RENE = True ElseIF problem < verBig Then Hello RENE = True End If
