Are you ready to rock er...or code?
It feels good to stray from the norm and ask different questions! This week we wanted to know what music you rock out to while working. We got some incredibibly enthusiastic and fun answers from all of you. And, as there are hundreds of different styles of music, there were almost as many different categories of music you like to listen to while working. Classical, folk, trance, pop, classic rock, metal, folk Punjabi, progressive rock - some we didn't even know existed as a category.
You know what was blatently missing though? No one said jazz - as in "Man do I love hearing the smooth stylings of Kenny G. Now that's what I call coding music!"
Here are some of our favorite reader responses:
EricL: Metal, metal and more metal. Or classical or opera. [editor's comment: now if that isn't a juxtaposition we aren't sure what is!]
AdamM: '70s disco. The Hustle specifically. Legend has it that if a programmer boogies to The Hustle in just the right way, the disco gods will grant them the ability to create bug free code on first attempt.
LjubicaR: Pearl Jam and other grunge
HangX: What?! you guys can code while listening music??

I usually listen to symphonic metal or classical when I code, it just depends on what I am trying to accomplish.
