Ask HN: Music while coding
recommended by 1 user | 2010 | 102 points by qixxiq | music | original thread |

I often find it challenging to get into the zone without background music (although don't notice if it fades out later)

I'm always looking to find new music and interested to know what fellow hackers are listening to?

From this thread I discovered music that has since become some of my very favorite.

I now have a stack of books that I can't wait to read. It's been a long time since I was this excited to relax and read instead of code. The change of pace is nice.

The discussion in these two articles really changed my opinion of the make-up of the HN crowd. For the better. Lot's of thoughtful discussion that made me feel better about my own path in life.
