What are you listening to?
-
Only if I'm in VS writing code, which seems to only be about 40% of my time these days. I can't listen to music while researching or designing or in a Teams meeting. But when I code, I'm listening to prog (classic and new), 60s/70s rock, the occasional Celtic rock LP, a classical/choral work, new age/ambient, or my own works. Mostly Pink Floyd, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Porcupine Tree, Zappa, Joe Walsh, Peter Gabriel, Frost, Wolfstone, Bach, Mozart, Eno, and hundreds of others.

I'm curious: while working at the keyboard, do you listen to something? White noise, music, nature sounds? Dish.

Currently, the din of my tinnitus. Usually though I'm streaming Grateful Dead shows when I code.

Well, there is a single out already: 4'33" by John Cage[^]

Wow. I'm so impressed by this. Words while crafting in words! I have known folks who could study with rock, but I'm not among them ;) I do wonder though if the viking anthems would be okay - you know, the ones with foreign words.
I can rarely understand the words when I even pay attention to them, so the language doesn't matter. :laugh: Can't say I've listened to many Viking anthems, though it sounds intriguing. :)

Amazing - words while coding, not the tinnitus which used to be among my greatest fears until I got it. Wind brings it on even if I'm not out in it. Mine is ignoreable though.

I'm jealous, mine can keep me up at night.

If I'm coding, it's usually something without lyrics; a gaming OST or something. I use it to drown out conversations and sales calls. The Skyrim soundtrack is a go to if I don't have a specific craving. I picked up Heroes of Might and Magic II over the weekend, which has led me to have the OST on repeat during working hours. Send help. :-O

If I need to concentrate on something, it's total silence for me. I'm not good at ignoring noises. When I was working in an office, I *have* used headphones playing white noise to drown out sounds - ringing phones, conversations, the guy in the next cubicle typing loudly on his keyboard... If I'm working on repetitive, mind-numbing tasks that don't require much effort...that's when I *might* listen to music. I try to leave those tasks for Friday afternoons if that's something I have control over. As I'm getting older, I find I'm in a much better mood working on those tasks that can show immediate results, as opposed to working on the hard problems, even when finding solutions would provide a better sense of accomplishment. If you wanted to know *what* I'm listening to...that'll be a post for another time.

At home I like to put on sports like football, baseball or hockey. At work it's usually Acoustic Alchemy or soft house.

That would annoy me to no end. I know it's not politically correct, and I understand it might be downright horrible for me to say this, but my position is that if you're the one with the affliction, then it's only respectful to try not to let that affect others. My solution in that scenario would be to wear headphones. I'm not just saying that when it applies to others. I'd be the first to do it if I was in that position. But the world is built backwards. That's why I'm a single guy.

Only if I'm in VS writing code, which seems to only be about 40% of my time these days. I can't listen to music while researching or designing or in a Teams meeting. But when I code, I'm listening to prog (classic and new), 60s/70s rock, the occasional Celtic rock LP, a classical/choral work, new age/ambient, or my own works. Mostly Pink Floyd, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Porcupine Tree, Zappa, Joe Walsh, Peter Gabriel, Frost, Wolfstone, Bach, Mozart, Eno, and hundreds of others.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

That got me wondering...how would that even work? If you're playing music on external speakers, your mic would pick it up, and make a mess for the other participants. I haven't tried this, but can you pipe music to your headphones that would *not* be broadcast to everybody else?

It's less annoying than her oxygen machine, which sounds like someone digging up the road outside with a Kango. Fortunately she doesn't use it when we go to bed. Probably because she'd strangle herself with the piping when she "sausage rolled" herself with the entire duvet ... :laugh:

Then you probably will like this song, which was originally titled "She blinded me with silence" Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science - YouTube[^] :-\
