: (not a retarded question about hacking)What do you do while you hack?

I don't mean hacking as in what the popular conception of hacking is i mean like while programming or writing scripts or actually hacking say passwords or anything like that?Such as listen to music...if so what kind?do you document what your doing or....? I personal, while coding anything really love to listen to music such as Eminem or Disturbed etc. .

i guess I'm more boring than "relax" lol but I really don't do anything, sometimes I'll stop for a while and get on youtube, but for the most part music and stuff distract me while I'm trying to think ;)

Music with lyrics distracts me. How can you listen to Eminem and code O.o? I do listen to electronic music though, trance mostly, spacemusic is also good.

Music used to distract me in the past, but now I just get into the zone and do what ever I am doing while unconsciously blocking and filtering out all noises and music from the background. I can pretty much be in a party with loud noises, but still focus on something and just ignore all the outside stuff.
This being said, I do not listen to music while doing anything that requires concentration as I wound not appreciate it anyway, since I can't be both fully focused on something I am doing and paying attention to the music.

Always while I work (not just programming): classical music.

a. It generally has no lyrics (apart from some Latin or German etc.) Which is good because when you're writing words or code you it's irritating to have lyrics.

b. Very calming. Work can be stressful and the music helps.

c. A good understanding of classical music (you'll get one by listening to it a lot) is great to have. Employers like it because it makes you seem "cultural (don't like the word tbh)", and there's an long and interesting history to the subject.

I like a lot of music, but Classical is definetley the most expressive. And when I say classical I mean a lot of things. Film music counts, I had the Shawshank Redemption soundtrack on the other day. Great track called Ziheutanajo or something like that..

Also Fantasia in D minor by Mozart.  ;D

Agreed, music. Usually I stick to an avicii or deadnou5 playlist on pandora then do my coding/reading/whatever. Some days ill do an excision mix instead though lol. I like having that electronic music going though as it has fast beats and slow beats which matches how I work. Sometimes you gotta go slow and get into the groove then next thing I know there's a fast beat and I'm in.the.zone.so.I start typing like a maniac lol.
Occasionally, depending on my mood, ill even put on some sort of rock or metal playlist cause once I finally get into my work Im so focused I don't even notice lyrics even as I'm unconsciously singing them under my breath. Once I'm in the zone, i really don't notice anything except whatever I'm focused on lol

Oh how many hours the dubstep has accompanied techb while deep in thought... lol. I don't really do computer hacking, but when using my version of hacking abilities to solve issues around the house, I prefer think out loud. Saying what I'm doing makes me put the pieces together better.  I know I'm weird, because that is pretty much talking to myself.

Actually, that's not weird at all. When I'm stuck with a problem I usually start talking out loud to myself about it. Or to whatever object that has a person on it is closest to me lol. I even go so far as talking to people who know nothing about it because there is just something about saying it that puts it in perspective and allows me to solve whatever the problem was.

Tl;dr
I talk to myself too

Don't you mean Deadmau5? It's supposed to be Dead mouse. That's why he wears that mouse hat.

I like to listen to interracial gangbangs. Something about listening to a little white girl getting hammered by big black donkey dick gets the code and all flowing.

(in membrance of Skidiot.h)

But really, if its not porn, dubstep or my keyboard taking the relentless fingering of my sensual, but firm hands. For cereal bro.

hahaha @ techb  ;D

I also talk to someone (usually my friend anthony who knows near nothing about programming) to help me sort out some programming problem or I'll come to a realization when talking to them about it.  It's very helpful to talk it out or to yourself

printf("you better lose yourself in the music, the moment...");


Hahaha I kid the rapper.


I'm really new to hacking and shit, but I either listen to music (violins, dubstep, and Game BGMs) or have someone company me while coding a website so yeah.. I'm the type of person who's more productive when there are people around me that I can chat with;

I said earlier that I music distracts me and I don't listen to it when doing anything that requires lots of concentration. However I must note that I do listen to music when I am just browsing the news, chatting on irc, or doing something similar. If I got a very boring job to do, I usually put on some amazing "Epic" instrumental soundtrack which makes me feel much better and prevents me from dozing during working.
