Listening to two girls argue about how thin their eyebrows are is what you deserve for forgetting your headphones at home

Anyone else put in headphones with absolutely no intention of listening to anything, just to make people less likely to bother you?

Recruiter: Hi, i'm recruiting for xyz, your profile looks like a great fit. Would you be interested in discussing further?

Me: Hi, your company website says you only have an office location in Berlin. I've marked my profile as not interested in relocation, only interested in jobs in my country and said the same in my description. Are you expanding to my country?

Recruiter: You are correct, this role is based in AMAZING Berlin. Are you interested in relocating?

Me:

Interviewer: "What's your greatest weakness?"

Me: "I'd say my greatest strength are my listening skills"

Listening to a conversation about politics near my desk and had a Freudian slip in my code...

At work today the guys showed me how I can listen in on calls so I can prepare myself for phone support.

We tested it through a call between two of the guys.

They started talking like "test test123 is this working"

I said yes and continued working behind my screen. They just didn't know I was still listening.

Both guys started saying stuff like "welcome to the sex hotline"
"hello and welcome to the *insert something sexual* hotline!"

One of the guys after a few minutes: why is your head so red?!

Wait.... Have you been listening along?? 😅

Yes 😂

*everyone bursts out in laughter*

My boss is a bit annoyed that I’m listening to the music in my headphones during work.
“Are you sure it doesn’t make you lose the focus?”

Fuck you!
The will to quit is everyday greater.

- Boss: Why are you laughing so much secretly, this is not professional

- Me: Oh sorry, I am listening to the radio while I am working

Truth: I am reading wk101 rants, I can't bear

So I like to put on some music while I shower.

For some godforsaken reason I put YouTube on autoplay.

Ended up listening to a 5 minute ad instead.

Listening to Linkin Park while coding.
Head banging, foot tapping, just singing along in my head.
Then the boss messaged me, "should we produce some tickets?".
Apparently, I'm singing rather loudly.
Earth, swallow me up now.

CIA, NSA... if anyone 's listening.. Can you guys please tell me my root password.. :/.. I forgot..

Dude: Come on man, Google and/or Facebook are not actively listening to us, I mean, we're not terrorists.
Me: Ok, Google
Google Asistant: How can I help you?
Dude: ._.

Tonight: Learning Swift while listening to Taylor Swift.

I have just realized the music that was playing in my headphones stopped a long time ago and I've just been sitting here in silence with my headphones on listening to absolutely nothing.

Me, in the zone, staring at the code. Co-worker enters.
Co: hey, can you...
Me (not really listening): no.
Co: it's just...
Me: no.
Co: later?
Me: no.
Co: but...
Me: no.
Co: (leaving)

Today I discovered MIT OpenCourseWare.

I hate university, and I usually doze off during lectures, but my god, I've been listening to "Introduction to Algorithms" for about 6 hours now, and I'm hanging on to every word.

Before starting to work. Puts on earphones and starts listening music, while working wild error appears, pauses music to concentrate on fixing error.

Day passes earphone on but no music playing.
Happens every time.

This is why this will forever be my favorite app and community ever! 😍😍😍

Me listening to my boss trying to explain to a client how I fixed their shit...

OK ReSharper, I'm listening.

Ah yes i enjoy coding while listening to my masterfully titled playlists, such as.

-penis
-punjabi slayer tracks
-asddsa sad
-wibbly wobbly stuff
-dudes yelling

A coworker was listening to a Stephen King audio book through headphones on his Mac, so I ssh'd in and used the `say` command to start talking to him.

I love admin rights.

Last week we had a short seminar at work about 'listening skill.'

In that speaker gave an example how 'natural' leaders speak last in the meetings.

From that day we are having entirely silent meetings.

Now management is planning seminar on 'Speaking Up'

"Put aside your ego, it's the worst problem with programmers" -My mentor

I tend to help others and contribute with courtesy, putting my ego aside and listening to others' suggestions at all times, no matter how potentially silly they are

I'm a network engineer. Mom questions my skills when I tell her to just reset the router, but when customer service tells her to, she acts like she's listening to the voice of god.

In computing class - Teacher asks for disadvantages of open source.

"It may end up like Linux..." <I stopped listening after that>
>.>

* me listening to something while coding
* something goes wrong, trying to fix it..

Takes time and no solution.

- ok this is serious *put headphones down*

It's not Friday and I'm pissed.

Just wanted to say that, thank you for listening.

Staying up late coding and listening to music will literally never get old

*Sips on coffee while listening to music on headphones*
Ears get tired
*Takes headphones off*
Notice all the mouse clicking in the office
*Put headphones back on*

We live in the matrix

Client writes me in slack two hours after my 8 hours are done:

“We have a bug, can you fix it now? We need to have it in two days”

Me, smoking pressing cmd+q, closing laptop , listening fools gold by the stone roses, curtains down

Coding without listening to music, is like drinking a tea without sugar!

Being a developer means...
- Writing code
- Fixing bugs and issues
- Impromptu project manager to current project
- Making coffee
- Seeing unicorns
- Listening to the boss' suggestion that goes horribly wrong
- Contemplate

Wear headphones at home office. Not because I can't play it out loud, but when you go around in Iron Maiden shirts the wife gives you a hard time about listening to J-pop.

Coding while listening to piano

My coding speed strongly depends on what music i'm listening.

what are cool songs for programming? been listening to darude sandstorm for too long.

Coding while listening Vivaldi

Coding without listening music

Mood:
- Currently coughing my lungs out, I'm not working tomorrow to keep my colleagues safe
- Cat is purring on my shoulder
- Listening to some dope ass synthwave
- Updating the JetBrains IDEs so that I can work on something to busy my mind
- It's 3:45 AM.

Fucking GARBAGE

Sitting in the hall, quietly listening to an Arduino tutorial and I bring up terminal cuz I didn’t have the IDE and unnamed teacher starts yelling at me for hacking?!? Fuck ignorant teachers.

Big Brother is listening🤔

Crappy team bonding or conference days where you spend the day away from your machine listening to motivational speeches from arsehole senior managers!!

"And don't forget everyone, there's no I in team."

"No, but there's a U in cunt."

PM: Ok Android, i've reviewed the latest build, you are good to release. Waiting on iOS's build to test.

Me: ... are we not holding all builds until we hear back from backend about that bug?, as we likely have to change something on our side?

PM: Which bug?

Me: ... the only one we discussed yesterday in the team meeting.

PM: How many customers is it affecting?

Me: that we know of, one ... the CEO of our company

PM: oh that one, yeah were not doing that anymore.

Me: WHAT? i've been waiting all day / night to hear back. Why are we not doing this?

PM: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... Everything is too messy at the minute anyway, the release plan is changing every day. Need to keep it back in line.

Me: ... the plan has changed exactly once. We had a plan at the start of last week for the last release, we changed it YESTERDAY to include 2 critical bug fixes. The only issue with the plan changing is nobody telling us these aren't bugs anymore

PM: We can discuss tomorrow in the team meeting.

CEO: oh hey guys, yeah we pulled that bug fix. Its not really a bug, more like a missing feature. No way it will get done before xmas. Going to live with the way it works for now and fix it properly next year.

Me: Ok, fair enough, but we really need to be told these decisions.

CEO: sure, sorry, didn't think anyone was blocked by this. What was the blocker?

Me: ..... you asked me yesterday to get this bug fix in the build ... you asked for the final build to be made today so we can go through the app store review. As we all discussed yesterday, today is kind of the last day we can really do this.

CEO: ok, its late, we can discuss this tomorrow in the team meeting.

Me: ..... ..... ..... ..... sure

There is nothing funnier than listening to the complaints of a linux user having to use windows.

Hmm, Manager called us for a meeting to discuss our future plan

All we ended up listening he wants to open up his own caffe with library

:(

Recruiter: Hi practiseSafeHex, you were speaking to one of my colleagues recently and I know at the time you said you weren't interested in interviewing with us. I just wanted to check is that still the case?

Me: Yes I haven't changed my mind since last week. You still have awful things on your glassdoor page for my country, and its still a role / area i'm not interested in. Please read my responses and please fuck off

Product manager: ah ok I understand. So is the plan still to do xyz?

Me: .... STILL?? ... when was that ever the plan? .... ok when you said “I understand” what did you mean?

I’ve really got to turn these notifications off when listening to music 😍😎

Thanks @AlexDeLarge

When you are listening to music while coding and the music is on fire so you hit the same button on the keyboard several times to go with the beat 😂

Funniest meeting ever!

Some years ago, there was the regular department meeting where useless news from upper management were handed down. The team I was in was also there: team lead, co-worker and me. The team lead had a new girl and was daydreaming of their nights, my co-worker wasn't quite back from the football match on the weekend, and I was playing chess on my mobile.

Department lead was blah blah blah and when can we do this on your rig? We looked at each other and instantly realised that none had been paying attention.

My co-worker was the fastest to recover and straight-facedly turned to me: "Well Fast-Nop, that's your domain."

I picked the ball up before team lead could say something: "Sure, but schedule appointment is for our lead."

Our lead couldn't contradict us and then had to negotiate a schedule while trying to find out what it was about. *LOL*

I find listening to Korn, Slipknot etc super loud is actually relaxing when I'm stressed at work.

Drinking good whiskey, listening to Chopin and birds singing, looking at moon.
I can do it for the rest of my life.

This is like listening to Opera in a programmer's world.

So true.

u know what is more irritating than listening to a thick indian accent almost not understanding a shit he's saying while coding?

listening to a thick indian accent almost not understanding a shit he's saying while he's playing a 70s porno music in the background and explaining how to code something.

m

actually that music calms me down somehow from being too much frustrated, its like he knew "i know im irritating so heres a bad music to calm u down"

I keep improving as a developer by:
Listening to podcasts
Reading books
Reading others code
And searching so😃
Learning learning. .always learning

Perfect....
I am working on my laptop, listening to some music and then... Suddenly the system gets stuck... Forced shutdown the system...
And voila!!!!!
BOOT_VOLUME_UNMOUNTABLE

Fuck you windows 10!!!!!!!! Goddamn it!!!

Really hope I dont have to reinstall everything from ground 😣😣😡😡😡

Ranting here , about our fucked up life is like talking to a cat. You don't know if they are listening, you don't know if they care, but for some reason, it still helps ...

Are you also almost unable to code / work without music?
If so, what are you listening to? 🎧

Me: Return data from Firebase into unity project

Firebase: Returns data as object

*Type casting fails for 6hrs*

Finally find the reason Data return type is int64 and I was saving as int32

Now I sit and question my life while listening to epic music

Music is annoying.
Listening to music sometimes helps you focus, and other times distracts you because you're too busy "singing".

Not a rant but an awesome moment. I am in the kitchen enjoying my morning rant reading session and I hear my 13 year old listening to jazz in his room. I listen to 80s hair bands and he listens to jazz. Cool.

Am I the only one here spending 3/4 of work day watching YouTube videos and listening to music?

No line for the bathroom. Listening to music without headphones. Getting up and pacing around like a crazy person when I'm thinking. Cursing loudly. Not wearing pants. Petting my dog frequently.

WFH is the best

I'm gonna fail my now-online uni course. I'm not understanding jackshit.

Fuck this covid bullshit.

Thank you for listening.

In the zone, and listening to music.
Manager taps me on the shoulder.
I turn off my music, and face him.
He say "hi", and then walks away.

... Why?

What kinda music do devs usually listen to while working? My friends (devs) say I'm weird.

Idk, but I listen to slow melodious songs. Am I upsetting the order of things and breaking unspoken, universal laws by listening to Birdy or Ed Sheeran while coding!

WoeBot doesn't seem to be listening to my woes....

(test test test)

It has been a rough day dealing with third party vendors, who only have a few IQ points to share among the company. Nothing better to cheer me up than listening to my favourite Christmas song

What are you guys listening to while programming? I really like classic piano sounds 🤔

Listening to my coworkers bounce ideas back and forth on design

I really miss putting on some headphones and getting shit done while listening to some rock.

I like pair programming, but doing it all the time is starting to feel exhausting. I need some "me" time, ya know?

Listening to a song 500 times on repeat because it will take to long to stop what you are doing and hunt for a new playlist/station....

My team's "Scrum" daily stand-up meeting lasts for 1 hour. We spend the first 30 minutes listening to the Product Owner's "updates"

What are you guys listening to while coding?

Me listening about PHP advantages

Just realized I can only be productive while listening to metal...otherwise I procrastinate the hell out of every second... Wtf?

Looks like its full music from now on :)

Underrated pleasure... Listening to Hans Zimmer (preferably the Batman v Superman soundtrack) and coding. Even a Hello World code will seem like a blueprint to world war3

Probably a !rant, idk
Some background info, I barely watch / talk about watching movies.

This happened today

Me : Let's watch a movie, it's been a while. ×3

Google *listening to me through the phone.* : Aww, there you go ₹20 play movies reward

Thanks, I guess?

About week ago I finally upgraded to ios 12 and I really like screen time reporting. It forces me to spend less time using phone.

It lacks features like listening to music or books time, probably because it only measure screen time. Besides that it’s cool.

Listening to music, lying facedown on my bed with my eyes closed. After a long day, I usually can't look at any electronic screens.

I am listening EDM from 3days and Today this notification reminds me,Google data stealing and selling to other companies.

Me listening to a talk: "and we can think about running a VM inside a container"

WHAAAAAAT?!?

Listening to music loudly via headphones just isn't the same as being alone and blasting it through speakers...

The importance of headphones is to avoid listening to co-workers talking nonsense all day long, especially young people.

Coding while listening to piano music makes me feel like a pianist who use 'keyboard' for performance. ( However, the next one in my music list is techno music and I transformed to a DJ hhayaa!

I want to propose a toast for al the people who is right now sitting on a shitty meeting listening to shit that has nothing to do with their job

Sometimes I spend entire days working dark-to-dark with my headphones on

... without even listening to anything

And if I happen to be "in the zone", after the whole day of having my headphones on and not listening to anything, I take them off and feel like it's so quiet out of a sudden. It feels like I was in a noisy discussion (with myself) whilst I was "in the zone".

Just sharing my observations :)

1. You find out a new song
2. You love that song.
3. It's your favorite song now.
4. You keep on listening it on repeat for like a 1000 times.
5. Now you hate the song.

Is it only me or is this common ಠ︵ಠ

Wordpress.

Dogshit.

That is all. Thank you for listening.

The feel you get when u r listening to Interstellar docking scene soundtrack while writing a code and it compiles and run with no errors exactly the moment docking happens ! #goosebumps

Listening to a product owner describe a system that they want when they don't understand what problem they are trying to solve is quite an experience.

At my job in the past week there have been at least one 1 hour-long meeting every day with today hitting the record with 3 meetings.

This is fucking insane. I signed to a developer job, not a guy-sittimg-and-listening job.

Programming and listening to music go hand in hand a lot of times...

Doing some code on a rainy night while listening to "Kavinsky - Nightcall"..
What's better than this?

YES YOUTUBE. I AM FUCKING HERE. I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE LISTENING TO MY FUCKING MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND WITHOUT YOU ALERTING ME EVERY 15 MINUTES IF I WANT TO RESUME MY FUCKING MUSIC. FUCK YOU

So I was listening to a hacker news podcast and they mentioned this. I couldn't believe it, lol

Alright ladies and Gents, i find this topic very interesting but who cannot code without listening and who cannot code without silence

If your in the music listening category, what music genre hits that coding sorcery zone for you?

Saying I am an Android developer is another way of letting people ask 'can you build something like WhatsApp?'
Well there is world beyond that! Grow up people. Just tired of listening this. Fuck off.

Share your favorite songs with me, I need to expand my music library!

Currently listening to “Where Did it Go” - Asking Alexandria

@$&#! Grrrr... FACEBOOK API SUCK, A FUCKING CATASTROPHE, TEN POUNDS OF SHIT IN A FIVE POUND BAG... !#&$@

That's it, thanks for listening, i'm out. 🙃

Listening to chilling country music and learning whole new language at work after successful meeting. Life is worth living for such moments 😊

Listening to colleagues discuss "executing children" under certain conditions...

Dear human being listening to music in the elevator. I understand that justin bieber song might mean something to you, but please, turn the volume down.
That's not the first thing we want to hear when we come to work.

I love hard rock, heavy metal, thrash metal... But I can't concentrate listening Metallica or Slayer. I used to study with electronic music, but really I don't like this music. Finally I found a solution. I'm listening videogames soundtracks like Diablo or Ocarina of Time and I feel better with myself.

What a nostalgic feeling!!!

It's weird listening to my father "rant" about all the things he has to fix when visiting his parents, some welding, changing tire and switching lightbulbs. When he does the exact same thing with me regarding laptops, routers, smartphones and tablets..

No, stop playing that shit, for fuck sakes.

No one want's to listen to your music with you, especially not that hillbilly crap you are listening to right now.

I'm trying to fucking concentrate. Time to stop, turn it off. You fucking twat.

Sorry I'm on my computer during the meeting but I can multitask I swear!

(I can definitely write code and troubleshoot with other devs on Skype, while you're talking)
I never said I was listening to you though! Lol!

In a lecture hall
1. Try Listening to lecture
2. Finds it uninteresting
3. Think that you can later learn from video tutorials
4. One day before exam -- No time to learn..

So what music are you guys listening to as of late?

Personally, I've been listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I'm really into them right now.

NEW RULE

From the 15th minute of a meeting onward, my mind will phase out and I'll stop listening.

It's your care to make sure you say everything important before that happens.

Listening to music and pretending that the rest of the world doesn't exist when you are coding.

Do you know feeling when you have just so much fun refactoring + ( listening + singing / humming ) to music that you can't even properly type anymore because you move around too much?

I feel so happy rn, maybe it's also the coffee ..

I keep a 20 year old PS/2 keyboard around specifically for that rare event I need to edit my bios settings. My mobo doesn’t enable usb until half a second after it stops listening for input because who uses usb keyboards, anyway?

I'm in a Cafe and listening to two people, who I'm pretty sure are recruiters, generalizing so hard on what it takes to get a job. It's taking every inch of me to not shout, CITATION NEEDED

I find Nordic/Viking music very calming and I'm able to focus better. Basically, I'm more productive when I'm listening to such music.

I know you, youre out there somewhere, coding, feeling like shit, putting your best, listening to coldplay, in the server room, your basement ... I know you veryy well

Is it gay to like Ed Sheerans music?

He’s one of the few new people with actual talent in my opinion.

Many people say men listening to Lana del Rey are gay so I don’t give a shit anyway.
But I’m still wondering.
How many of the guys without a life (like me) here listen to and actually enjoy listening to Ed Sheraan?

Gaaaaaaaaalway Girl, nananannananannaa gaaaaaalway Girl, nananannananananananananna
That shits is stuck in my head now..

I started turning up here cause I find it very relieving to rant about my problems and know that people are indeed listening. bless y’all.

What music genre do you prefer listening to when coding?

I'm going with rock/metal, Linkin Park is love ❤️

Never though I’d feel like this, but listening to rock music while coding is really growing on me

I guess someone has been listening to Migos while coding. smh

My boss was gossiping about all the staffs except me and the other person who was listening to him. I was coding and not part of the conversation.

What do you guys think, is he fit to be a boss and a leader?

Spotify playlist that you're listening when coding?

You know a meeting is boring when even refactoring some legacy garbage is more enticing than just sitting and listening 😬

! Rant
Coding while listening to Mozart. 🤘

My production app still says "Hello World listening on port 3000!"

The fool becomes a fool by talking too much. The wise become wise by listening too much.

If taking notes is an art, then I am definitely not an artist.

It gets more difficult when trying to take notes while watching a video.

How the fuck to go about it? I have yet to strike a balance between “listening to learn” and “listening to take notes”.

Both are very different things and can’t be done at the same time. What happens then is that I end up watching a video twice, or end up without any notes.

Listening to the Last of Us soundtrack when doing chill programming.

And Lamb of God for fast programming.

Rhythm matters to me. And you guys?

Can anyone suggest any good computer science/IT/development/coding/computery based podcasts to listen to?
I'm getting awfully bored of listening to idiots jabber away about nonsense each night.

I should be out there drinking Baja Blast, listening to Fort Minor and playing Xbox 360.

Currently listening to my housemate, a tech journalist, talk to a PR person for an ML company, about how great their product is.

I want to vomit.

Coding while listening to Linkin Park.

Finally became a 2GB lol just random but a milestone nonetheless. Thanks all for listening to my inner voice when i feel there is no place to get these recursive thoughts out of my head.

Have a great day

😔this weekend should be fun, I... I need to... well you see... I need to create a woocommerce site despite my better judgments and opinions on the subject.

God, if you are listening.. well reading, please have mercy on my soul.

Listening to a git lecture by someone who pronounces "add" and "head" the same 😲

We're so defensive about listening to music while [insert concentration-intensive task here]. Instrumentals, piano, EDM, what have you. Deep down, we know it's distracting us. It's just so hard for us to admit that. 😂😂😂

PM ask for explanation of why something doesnt work as expected due to browser incompability etc. And when developer starts to explain, PM don't have time or not interested in listening.

Never been a fan of podcasts before, but I'm fixing to take a stab at listening to some.

What's a good tech/programming podcast? (Bonus points if it's about Cyber security)

Looking blankly at the code review that I'm supposed to do whilst listening to HP & The Deathly Hallows for the last hour. It's a long Friday here fellas!

I hate giving estimates, especially for projects when you hardly know the codebase. But yet everybody expects you to deliver everything and everything on time.
Just get off my back maybe then I can actually finish something.

Thank you for listening. <3

Freaking hate it when people's ringtones go off randomly at work. Gonna go mad listening to the same 4 seconds of despacito over and over again 😠

#1 Speaking to my boss in Klingon.

He thought I was shouting at him in Dothraki.

lu' or luq
(yes, I will do that)

#2 Listening to Black Sabbath during a server compile 2.6h.

YikYak will probably be used as a lesson in app development on what not to do. They killed their entire app in a single release. Biggest mistake was never listening to their users.

Hey do you have some great developer podcasts that are worth listening to ?

Not sure if yelling at someone for not listening counts as a fight.. 🤔 since he wasn't listening..ever!!
But yeah, my ex coworker was a champion in not listening and doing stoooopid shit, from not following orders, to cheking in all the files in solution to tfs (no changes + debugging shit etc) which made it a nightmare to find and fix his bugs.. I just gave up talking to him alltogether since he only wasted my time and didn't listen to any advice/order..

Mam you're not listening to me !!!!

I said DO NOT REDEEEEEEM !!!!

Fuck environments without direct internet access and only http proxy in place.

That is all, thank you for listening

i literally listen to elon musk interviews while studying even if im not listening because i could listen to this man all day

English pre-finals today.

No literature, just an unseen, grammar, vocabulary and listening exercises.

I am going to ace this.

When you talk for 20minutes and realise that your co-dev was just giving you the default response but wasn't actually listening

Toooooooooootal (IDE)Eclipse, it’s a toooootal (IDE)Eclipse, it’s a toooooootal (IDE)Eclipse of the !moon 🎶

Made this an afternoon after work (several months ago), listening to Klaus Nomi :3

Regarding the Aug 19 devRant update - I am amazed at what you guys do. We are fortunate to have @dfox and @trogus building devRant and listening to the community input. It gets better each month. Onward and upward!

When you are listening music and reading devRant, the only thing you concentrate on is reading. Because sometimes rants are more interesting than your music. 😀

During requirements gathering:
Listening.
Writing requirements as stated.
Not designing in my head.
Asking leading questions that validate said faux design.

Not so much of a rant but recommendation.

Have been listening to a completely epic Spotify playlist all day today whilst coding - "RetroWave / Outrun".

It's really good for keeping my concentration :)

Best! Starting my 1st year at university to learn all this stuff 😃

Worst: listening to the 4th years freak me out about what is to come 😬

While listening to Algo and Data struct teacher, a friend of mine ("Blue Hair") told me about devRant. Guess i'm going to learn not much about BST today.

These days I'm listening to french music so much.
Even when coding. Trust me I am loving it and productivity really increased.

What (music) are you listening to at work?
Most of the time I need music to get in a kind of flow during coding.
Sometimes I listen to some podcasts or have a documentary running.
Fortunately, my bosses are quite tolerant.

Listening to Barely Alive - Dead Link, and then finding a dead link on a site.
What a coincidence.

“Millennials are picking up their phones on average of 237 times per day. The machines have not adapted to the millennials. The millennials have adapted to the machines.”
Started listening to this book. So far so good.

Mainly listening to music. Sometimes taking a break or a good night's sleep also helps.

Just wondering, what kind of music do you listen to when you're programming ?

I usually listen to trance when I really have to focus on coding, helps to clear my head, but I do listen to other stuff when i'm working at a more relaxed pace.

Are you listening to music?
What are you listening to?

Watching Google's keynote, every time they say "OK Google" my idiotic phone wakes up and starts listening...

Not working, not looking at the phone, not listening to music, just sitting there and doing nothing until you get bored enough to get back to it.

Any other metal heads on here? If so, what have you been listening to? I've been obsessed with Mutoid Man's most recent album, War Moans, as well as Cult of Luna's Mariner

An open source podcast listening platform for developers.

Trying to work out an encoding bug after upload, I ask them to send me the original version of the file that is currently uploaded. I look at the files and they seem strangely similar, but strangely different.

I reply to them, "To confirm, this is the version you uploaded?"

"Nope."

I like listening to music from SoundCloud while working. Tried Spotify because I had read about its next level recommendation engine. Honestly felt that Soundcloud provides much better recommendations for the kind of music I like than Spotify.

Trying to meet the deadline while listening to Queen's I want to break free... May be life I trying to tell me something

Write down the song you're currently listening to as a function/method call

I'll start with with this one

jump(us) // Let's jump

wich music genre are you listening to while programming or do you prefer silence ?

me: hip hop in my native language

Something weird happens when doing something heavy in JetBrains IDE:
When I compile a project or when I just try to load one the music I'm listening to is scratching.
That's weird!

A hear people have mixed feelings about listening to music when programming. I listen to chill step, upbeat electronic or rap mostly. Do you like to listen to music when programming? If so, what kind of music?

Listening the podcast...

So this isn’t a programming related question.

Does anyone know if learning things while listening to something while you sleep actually shows results?

Listening to music and watching movies helps me to focus. But I never found a way to solve my procrastination problem...

While I was waiting for the JDK to install for the FOURTH TIME!?!?....
Ahem...
So I was listening to some music from Papa Roach when suddenly my mind did some weird stuff, which led me to the following conclusion:

Sometimes I just hate my own mind...

I love listening to music when programming. It's not something I started because I wanted to, but it just kinda happened.

In my first job as an intern, they followed concept of open office, a very shitty strategy as it led to chaos and noise all the time around my desk. To move away from that, bought a pair of Sony headphones, which I still consider as my best investment.

Started listening to songs since they're a better choice in the cacophony of chaos present around. These days, even though I work in a regular and calm environment still can't seem to get rid of the practice of listening to songs.

Anyone here have similar experience??

P.S. Suggest some good songs to listen to while programming!!

once I was listening to Kanye West, Drake and jay-z while scrolling through the my twitter. I was so inspired and moved by the music that I decided to built a website that teaches egocentric, entitled people the foundational skills needed to rule the world.

Ahh, that increadible feeling when I start typing to the rythm of music. Especially fast math rock.

Listening to "And so I watch you from afar" right now, it's almost like I'm part of the band 😅

what is worse

listening to a hardcore indian accent speaking on english

or reading an indian article with broken english

Listening to a conversation between Juventus, Milan and Inter fans, it's like listening 3 programmers discuss who is the best language between Java, Python, and C#.
Of course, it's JS the best language :P :(

Listening to Kavinsky and having the urge to do some coding in 80's atmosphere , then remembering semester starts in two days and I really gotta pass those courses. *sigh*

that Moment when u programming with headphones and listening to sweet sounds of Metal-/Hardcore... and your neighbours just WTF

I've been asked to be a judge at a local Battle of the Bands. I have no musical experience other than the luxury of listening to different types of music.

I have no idea what I'm gonna do.

Any audiophiles here?

I like listening to music while coding

Listening to rain sound or pleasing sounds while coding helps me think straight and sets a good mood for me to complete a task.Music sets me straight.

On the middle of a lecture, someone forgot to turn their phone down and right at a quiet bit we hear

"SEGA"

Best part is I'd forgotten about this and cracked up when I was listening to the recording

Dear god...I hate planning meetings. Especially planning meetings that aren’t even for my team. Just listening to these folks jerking themselves off about their accomplishments. Doesn’t help that the chairs are these painful folding chairs that hurt my ass.

Finished my last audiobook and decided to start listening to Kevin Hearne druid series audiobook yesterday.

It’s really nice story about old druid ( looking like 20 something ) living in modern times in Arizona. Lots of Celtic mythology and great humorous dialogues.
I really enjoy it.

Sooo I was wondering what you guys listen to while coding?
I mostly listen to instrumentals, feel like anything that has words can sometimes be distracting.
Was thinking of listening to audio books though lol. don't know how it'll go XD.
What do you think?

When I was at my previous sales job, explaining the same sales pitch for the 987345284th time, listening to my customers' every irrational need, I suddenly realised I wanted to work with something rational and logical. Best insight of my life!
