Music I listen to while coding
In my real life, while I actually have to design and code for a living (C# mainly) I tend to spend quite an amount of time stuck in meetings which leaves precious little time to get real work done.
So when I do manage to grab a few hours of peace and quiet, I stick the headphones on and tune out the world around me and get down to coding.
At different times and indeed different types of coding I listen to different types of music. At the moment we have some difficult and time sensitive issues to resolve so we have an agile project underway, not quite eXtreme Programming more like scrum. The music I’m listening to now is more quiet, contemplative, indeed it is mostly classical.
At this precise time it is Charles Camilleri: Concertino No.1 For Clarinet and Strings on ClassicFM but will switch to a Bach or maybe Rachmaninov CD after this. Also find I’m revisiting Jean Michelle Jarre, Enya and even some Enigma. This afternoon looks like some boring batch file editing and discovery so will probably break out some rock, starting with Nirvana & U2, then move on to Usher and the Kooks.
Come to think of it I need to replace my headphones! Need a new set of closed ears, my current SeinnHeisers are getting a little battered and worn.
