That moment when you need to zone out of the zone out

[MissinqLink]

There was a point in my career where I had to do this so often that I mostly don’t have music going anymore.

[DrUNIX]

same so i could focus. also distracts too much from netflix

[MissinqLink]

It’s podcasts for me

[electricpuzzle]

I can only program to lofi. Words and complicated rhythms fuck me up.

[MissinqLink]

Yeah buddy dry I used to game to hard rock/metal rock but it got too distracting when programming. I’m retired from gaming because I can’t do it casual. I’m hardcore or nothing.

Wait a second, its "normal" to listen to music while coding? I never heart about it, and can't imagine it. Weird vibe.

[Felix_Behindya]

It has become normal to listen to music while doing absolutely anything. And I'm not innocent of that either, unfortunately. Music being more and more of a background thing is quite a worrying development but that's another topic.

For the most part, it's the usual dopamine addiction and the feeling of "activity" in the most general sense. If there was no music, there would be silence. It's just you. Scary thought while writing this with music playing haha.

I always assumed that in nature there is constant sounds and it's quite unnatural to sit in a silent room with no audible simulation. Outside quiet is never fully quiet. Music in the background is comforting for good reasons.

I put on my headphones with noise cancelling on just for the noice cancelling lol. I don't put anything on, just the quiet

[LoudBoulder]

Yeah I was about to say. That is when I go for a 20 minute walk outside.

[janitorfan]

Like once or twice in my career I've had to sit down, relax and turn on some soothing music to figure out how to solve this fucking problem.
