What are you listening to?

addyosmani commented 10 years ago

We thought the community could use some music-driven development (MDD).

What are you listening to? :)

I'll start - I'm currently listing to a lot of Chiptunes. Some good playlists to get you started:

Guidelines

If possible, link to the album, playlist or track on Soundcloud, Spotify, Google Music or elsewhere.
If a legit/legal link to it isn't available, just the album or track name should be solid. You can link to artists or somewhere your suggestion can be bought if you want. We don't mind.
Be awesome to one another. This thread is all about the music :)

I like all sorts of things, old grunge, Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, Brit bands like Pulp and Blur, newer bands like Radiohead and Young Knives.

One catchy and slightly odd album that I keep replaying at the moment is Nightmare Revisited, which takes Danny Elfman's excellent score from the film and covers it via an odd and interesting range of artists:

ronniebermejo commented 10 years ago

Sounds like a good idea to leave documented in your code comments, the music you were listening while coding. This may help future developers to understand your code better. (Code Meta-Data?)

Five Finger Death Punch;
Mudvayne;
Soilwork;
Trivium;
Metallica;
SOAD;
Mushroomhead;
Merrow, Widek (fine instrumental rock).

Been listening to a lot of cuban son/guaguanco/salsa, and I think it is very conducive to good code. Here are my top 5:

Que Son Uno - Joe Cuba Dulce Con Dulce - Johnny Pacheco and Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez Buenos Hermanos - Ibrahim Ferrer Mueve La Cintura Mulata - Cuarteto Oriente Chin Chon Chow - Louie Ramírez

If that whets your appetite, check out my full spotify playlist

Anything with a lot of singing in it distracts me from working so I usually listen to a lot of trance.

yoosiba commented 10 years ago

Although I normally listen different music, for programming I find electronic music to be good. It shields me from outside, not to much vocals (thus not too distracting), good tempo and vibe (keeps my awareness up). I use mainly DigitallyImported (http://www.di.fm). Collection of channels is good, there are web players, mobile apps, and streaming playlist for desktop players. So normally :

I start with http://www.di.fm/clubdubstep
if it gets too hard or too much vocals, I switch to http://www.di.fm/progressive
If it gets to dull, switch back to 1.
If 1-2-3 fails jump to http://www.di.fm/chillhop
If 4. is too chilled out https://www.google.com/#q=site:youtube.com+%22vocal%22+~dubstep

Besides, what are the synonyms for dubstep?

yoosiba commented 10 years ago

@specious I guess my SEO is not up to date :) and I am not sure for synonyms, but I guess I assumed that google machine learning algorithms would find some correlation with chillstep, downtempo, maybe dub...

For me, the bpm increases with the length the coding marathon and/or the proximity of the deadline. When i'm in electronic music mode, a marathon might go along the following lines:
