Does anybody listen to any particular music when there are on, say a 30 hour coding spree, barely any sleep? Fwiw, I remember listening to this old video game music from Final Fantasy II back in the 90's during code adventures for sure:

I have the local FM 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s rock radio station on barely high enough to hear it.  Just a little background noise.  Been using that while programming since 1986.

That's strange because I learned BASIC in the early 80's listening to the same type of music! Soft 80's rock, ect... My Dad used to listen to this during they day from time to time on a rather lowish volume. I would be there learning how to program in BASIC. I had LOGO and PILOT as well... Born in 1977, so I was pretty young. 6-7 years old, iirc.

 The most I have ever gone in a programming session is probably 16 hours.

I remember way back when I got an Atari 800xl for Christmas in the early 80's. I noticed a BASIC cartridge along with a spiral bound book that taught BASIC. It had a snake game, and a couple of other game examples... (I cannot remember the name of that book right now, damn it) Stayed up for around 13 hours reading and programming in the examples...
