phpSensei Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 After this post I'll vote, In my opinion theres a benefit to both. At my competition there was about 30-40 thousand spectators, it was insane and the level of focus needed was 100% or your done. So I loaded up my Shure head sets , and I put it on noise cancelling mode, I amped the music and honestly my focus went straight to the gutter. The rest of my body was in tune with the music while I needed my focus to be on the programming. I turned it off and went silent mode, all I can hear was my own heart beat and breathing harddd, this to me was the focus I needed to win. For non-competition purposes and if your the type of guy who can't stare at a screen all day long and need some sort of "fun" involved while programming, then the music might help. Sometimes I get carried away and just start dancing haha. However I think all music nowadays suck, I am a younger guy around here, still in me teens, and what we are supose to enjoy is completely garbage sorry to say.

trq Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It depends really. I spend allot of time with my headphones on when I'm at work, but it's more just to prevent outside distractions. At home, I might have the TV or stereo on in the lounge room, far away from my office, but I'll rarely use my headphones. I guess I always need a bit of noise though.

MasterACE14 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I always have music playing at the computer, for the first 20mins or so after starting I spent a lot of my time procrastinating, choosing each individual song. Then I get to a point where I've become so focused with the coding the music has basically become a very distant background sound(despite still be right infront of me) and I'll type away for hours and before I know it, half the day has passed and I've made a lot of progress.

AyKay47 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 thanks for the replies guys, I think that this is an interesting topic.. this came to me yesterday when I was coding a website and couldn't quite keep my focus, I realized that the music had me focusing on that instead of my work.. I also have ADD so that doesn't help the matter.. heh.. for me, coding without music but with my headphones on is the preferred way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLewis Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Depends how I feel. Sometimes I forget about tunes and just get stuck into it. Othertimes I'll have something playing in the background. I don't like using headphones though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 However I think all music nowadays suck, I am a younger guy around here, still in me teens, and what we are supose to enjoy is completely garbage sorry to say. I agree for the most part, but then again you don't have to listen to it. I'm only 22 and mostly listen to music from decades before I was born. They certainly don't make it like that anymore in my opinion. Of course then though they didn't have computer software to do most of it for them -- we are victims of our own success!

JasonLewis Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Great music actually exists nowadays, it's just mainstream media slams shit down our throats. The Wombats are an excellent example of quality tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickOldCar Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I sit in utter silence, I already get enough distractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 At work... No, I get too many questions to have time for music, and sometimes for even doing the coding. At home, I usually listen to music while I code, but lately I just don't feel like coding when I get home, so I play StarCraft or watch Netflix instead, and don't usually listen to music then. The good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The good stuff Yes. Absolute genius. How anybody could come up with the lyric..? "Have you ever had sex? I have, it felt so great! I did it with my penis..." It blows my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
