Ask HN: What music helps you code better?

35 points by wizardofmysore 8y ago

Techno? House? Classical Piano? Pop? No music? What helps you code better?

blackflame7000 8y ago
House / Tropical House when typing away, no music when designing
lgessler 8y ago
For me, the only genre that reliably works is "minimal" music, like stuff by Steve Reich[1] or Gas[2]. My definition of this genre would be music with no lyrics that has highly repetitive structures (differentiating it from "ambient" music, which I find too sleepy to be invigorating).

I listen to old french house classics. It's an odd choice and occasionally the lyrics or samples distract me, but I figure the potential for distraction is always there and I'd rather be yanked from concentration into my most pleasant memories. I also like some trance music or instrumental movie scores if they're chill enough. But it kinda depends on what kind of code im writing. If I'm knee deep in the guts of some poor program with disassembly and an exploit and pointers floating in my head, I have a pair of those bose noise canceling that I can wear for complete silence. I don't think music is necessarily a good frame for productive coding. At least not on its own. When I sit down with an intention, I'm just hearing ambient office noise until something a bit more interesting catches my attention, I kinda feel that urge to put my seatbelt on, Spotify is just a reflex, and I'll get to debugging or whatever I'm doing. I know some guys who have like playlists or whatever queued up for work, but that's not really how I work. Hell, I know another guy in my department who wears noise canceling headphones all day every day. That's just how he likes it.

Posted in HN a few weeks ago [0], Someone wrote a pretty good article on the tricks they use to be more productive developers. At the end, they cover music genres. From personal experience, I agree with everything he says. Music with less or no lyrics keeps me focused more on coding. When a song starts playing with lyrics that I enjoy, it distracts me from what I am working on. I particularly enjoy Lo-Fi Hip Hop[1], because there typically are not very many lyrics in the music and it typically has white noise in the background to help reduce distracting noises.

I did an entire project listening to the Steely Dan box set in constant repeat. Something about the precision and clarity of the studio work does it for me. I’ll still fire it up when I need to slam something out.
AkshayD08 8y ago
Any music that blocks me from external noise but at the same time doesn't distract me. Anything without lyrics is best but I have found Classical Piano works the best for me.

I listen to New Retro Wave and outrunner almost exclusively. I have also found that video game soundtrack remixes can help to preserve focus as well.

Anything with a decent tempo (except for Dance Music - too much thoomp thoomp) that is decent but that I don't know the words to. The important part is not knowing the words. If you know the words it can pull you out of the zone without you realizing. As for type I have no specific type, I'm all over the place, just as long as it follows the above criteria.

  Haha, that "thoomp thoomp" genre is called "unsa unsa" in some ex-Yugoslav counties.

Mostly music with no lyrics. That’s key. I’m currently enjoying brain.fm set to 30 minutes and synced with a 30 minute pomodoro timer. I enjoyed the trial enough to purchase a lifetime membership (using a discount code) as I feel much more productive, especially when combined with some Bose noise-cancelling headphones. I’ve spent more money on less productive things so I figured “why the hell not?”. It may just pay for itself. If not brain.fm, then I’d prefer to listen to movie soundtracks, such as Another Earth, I Origins, Manglehorn, or The Wilderness. Some artists I’ve enjoyed while coding: Piano: Ludovico Einaudi, Dirk Maassen, Johann Johannssen, Olafur Arnolds, Joep Beving Electronic: Tricky, Moderat (particularly the instrumental album). Heavy Rock: Earthless, Russian Circles Post Rock: Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You

  I agree about 'no lyrics', at least in my experience, being the key to coding productively while listening to music. What I'm wondering is, what is it about music WITH lyrics, which interferes with coding? ... is it the language processing side of the brain being overloaded or just distracted from the task at hand ( which would be translation...right? ) i.e. coding == actively translating tasks and concepts into a machine's language.
  - whak 8y ago
    I think lyrics tend to bring thoughts to the forefront which can interfere with the task at hand. They can conjer images and storylines that force your brain to fill in the gaps, just like watching a movie. Not to mention the thought processes involved with listening to a well-written love song. You better hope your love life is solid or you’ll never get any work done.
  - vk23 8y ago
    For me it works well to listen to music with lyrics that I know so well that I dont even really listen to the lyrics anymore. In general I feel like music works better if I know it well. I like to listen to more distracting music though when doing a "boring" task that does not require that much brain processing itself.

For coding, it’s usually classic music (no lyrics) but while researching, I’ll put on techno. No matter the genre though, I will use MusicChoice which is the streaming service that comes with my cable tv subscription.

Mostly ProgMetal/Djent. Some artists inspire me a lot while coding: - Plini - Intervals - David Maxim Micic - Arch Echo - Animals as Leaders - Polyphia - Scale the Summit - Angel Vivaldi - ... etc – a.k.a. their related artists There's also this album I used to listen to while reading Blood Meridian and nowadays while coding: - Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method by Earth Hope they inspire you too ;-)
- neilsimp1 8y ago
  You and I have similar tastes. I'd also like to through in some names for this genre... - Cloudkicker - Pomegranate Tiger - The Helix Nebula Outside of this, I really like video game music while coding. Anything from the Playstation 1 era, namely the Final Fantasy 6-10 soundtracks, both OST and orchestra versions. Nobuo Uematsu is incredible.
  - scorphus 8y ago
    Nice additions! Your taste is good, sharp! And WOW, Nobuo Uematsu is really incredible. Thanks for the recommendations!

  I'd like to add in Cloudkicker, which sounds a bit different than straight Djent, but has gotten me through a lot of college.
