Any conversation

me too, but at the same time i'm enjoying getting things done, otherwise i would get lost in details like bikeshedding naming variables and making the code look pretty, and little would be done.

Be there in a bit. Hanging out with Fred again.. and Thomas BangalterYouTubeFred again.. & Thomas Bangalter (USB002, Alexandra Palace, London 27 February 2026).

vim/neovim with vim keys everywhere else -- once you learn it text editing with any thing else feels slow

Team vim, it still works even in the worst internet connection. Saved my ass many times during emergencies.

Team vscode with spacemacs bindings, but I kinda do wanna be team nvim in the future

good videogame music is often my coding sweet spot--no lyrics, something familiar

Occasionally silence if I forget to turn on music. Otherwise, death grips and a curated EDM playlist are on rotate. It keeps me moving fast. But also Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians albums go hard for long session, distraction-free music

Often silence, for me. I could create a (narrow) bell curve of problems where I listen to music. If I'm doing light enough work then I don't tend to listen to music, probably just out of habit - but as I approach problems of a certain complexity then I do prefer music. I just find that complexity band is narrow and past it I need to turn off the music. I would like to widen my music band. My preference is usually ambient - I like Gaussian curve and Hiroshi Yoshimura
