I did something similar that I hand wrote but it's different verses from the Bible whenever I cd into my main working location. It helps me memorize verses slowly over time and it's not too intrusive though occasionally I'll disable it before pair programming on something with a colleague since it feels inappropriate at work to force someone else to put up with it if they have qualms about it.

- lakpan 3y agoAh yes, I’d love to start the day reading a fresh “Numbers 31:17” verse. For pair programming I’d just stick to “Leviticus 18:22”

- 3pt14159 3y agoNaw, I wanted to memorize certain ones. It's worked though. I'm pretty much there with all of the ones I picked.

- paywallasinbeer 3y agoCool. Do you have a list of which verses you use? I'd like to do something similar myself.
- 3pt14159 3y agoSure, it's a bit of a random list since it's not selected beforehand, but here are them: - Romans 6:3 - Proverbs 16:9 - Matthew 5:9 - Galatians 5:22 - Galatians 5:6b - Isaiah 55:9 - Psalm 117 - Psalm 23 (this is the largest one) - Matthew 9:37,38 I'm pretty sure I've since memorized all of these so it is time to add more verses into the mix!
- mkii 3y agoFor the sibling commenters trying to grief OP, he never said he randomly selects verses. I wish you all a nice day.
- alsetmusic 3y agoI had a similar thing, very unsophisticated at the time, to randomize quotes that I’d manually curated into a text file.
