I wear AirPods while coding. You know, modern programming work involves a lot of mechanical work... like moving code block around, copy & paste... For such mechanical work, I can multitask by listening to podcasts -- so I don't feel that I waste time :) Whenever I need to think, I just double tap my AirPods to pause.
I also listen podcasts during commute, workout, doing grocery, ...
I heard serval of my friends said that they spend more time listening to podcasts / audiobooks than watching TV / reading books. I don't know whether it's silicon valley bubble or it's actually a trend :)
- purephase 9y agoI'm with you up until the part about listening while coding. For all of the other more mundane tasks like shopping, dishes, showering, video games, commuting throwing on a podcast makes sense. I just can't concentrate on code and a podcast at the same time. Both will suffer if I try to combine them. Great service! Thanks for sharing.
- tazard 9y agoI'm a full time student with a part time job, and I probably average between 2 and 3 hours of podcasts a day. I live nowhere near silicon valley.
