What do you listen to while hacking?
I never found a good playlist hacking playlist so I put one together and posted it (blog.Phaxio.com). What do listen to and what would you add?
- pstack 15y agoI actually don't listen to music, very much. I was checking my last.fm tracking a couple weeks ago and if you average it out, I've listened to about one song per day for the last five years. Usually, I listen to podcasts or nothing at all. Very occasionally, maybe even just white/brown/pink noise. Edit: Actually, I just realized that I do listen to some 'music'. I play EVE-Online which has an extensive in-game track of like six hours of ambient and sometimes techno-ish/industrial tracks that are perfect for thinking. Since I usually have the EVE client running in the background on any machine I'm on (never know when you might need to make a big Heavy Water trade in Jita for your player owned structures), I usually let the music play the entire time.

- AndyKelley 15y agoAnything that I've already listened to at least 10 times. If it's new, it's distracting. If it's familiar, it helps put me in the zone.
- JordyB 15y agoI have a playlist set up that filters out songs I have not listened to multiple times, otherwise as you said it's distracting.
- argimenes 15y agoCurrently, virtuoso keyboard music by Alkan to warm up, viol music by Marin Marais for intense thinking, and Albinoni concertos for moody hacking at night.
